Weddings and Monsoons

This past weekend we went to the wedding of a good friend. It was a gorgeous wedding and a fun ceremony. It's fun going to weddings now that I am thinking of my own wedding! :) The highlights of this wedding 1) was the bride! She was beautiful! And her look makes me second guess wanting a strapless dress!

The reception was great! 2) The best part was seeing friends and catching up. 3) fried asparagus is really good! I want more of that man! 4) The cake was phenomenal an almond cake with amaretto filling! 5) The dancing was fun. All around a wonderful wedding!

Matt (the groom) broke out a little strip show (only the vest) it was pretty funny!

Dancing their last dance of the night! Don't they look good! 

After a great night at the wedding, the next day we hit the road to start moving and boy what an ordeal Sunday ended up being. We started early morning moving from my mom's to my apartment, to Nick's. So everything was easier than expected to start the day with the exception of a TV box that won't fit anywhere except in the truck bed. So there it went. We bungeed it in and an exit up the road had to rearrange as it blew around on the bungee. Once that was set it was smooth sailing to my apartment and the day was looking easy. 

Once at my apartment, we moved  lightning speed unloading, reloading, taking doors down, putting doors back up. We were going to beat this impending storm! We were determined! We had a turn around of under an hour. As we were filling up at the station when I asked if we should tarp the furniture. Nick and I disgreed but with his dad as the tie breaker/expert, the verdict was to tarp the furniture! Let me clarify now the TV box got nixed and ended up in the cab of the truck where it was completely safe from the rain!

Nick and I were going to meet at Walmart. He wasn't showing, and wasn't showing. At this point I was standing in the rain waiting. Nick had stopped under the gas awning just in time thanks to ingenious thinking! 

 

By the time I bought the tarps it was raining cats and dogs. Even under the awning we were getting drenched as the rain blew in. We were racing to try to put tarps under and all around and tied down. Finally we finish as the rain stops!

We decided to get lunch and dry off and....the keys get locked in the truck! Thanks to OnStar it was an easy fix just time consuming. What more can go wrong?? Well two more stops later we finally had the tarp situation fully secured. Nothing was going anywhere and Nick hit the road through rain and storm because he is AMAZING! He did so much driving and moving for me! This is why I love him so much! And my furniture made it safe and sound with only minor water damage!
