I Am the Girlfriend, Fiance, Or Wife of a United States Marine
So I was in a wedding this weekend. It was beautiful, short and sweet. The maid of honor (who is one of my good friends) wasn't very good at her job of making sure the bride has what she needs, I ended up doing a lot of stuff for the bride because if I didn't who would. I have no complaints about helping out, I really enjoyed doing it just wish the MOH had steped up. But she's not exactly the most reliable. Let me put it this way she had to rush order her dress and it got here the monday before the wedding...I can't imagine how the bride felt but I know I was stressed about it.
But the wedding itself was a blast we danced all night and goofed off quite a bit. I have decided that I want to see Jim before I walk down the isle, I think being able to have a moment with each other before the day is taken over by everyone else is imporant, have to convince Jim its a good idea but we'll see how that goes.
He's been super stressed out, failed both naviagtion test, day and night so this weekend he's been redoing them with a buddy and passed with flying colors. Think he just needed someone to explain it to him while he was actuall on the land and not in a classroom. He said they told him the next couple of weeks is gonna kick their butts so I'm getting ready for a cranky man.
he was super sweet this weekend though. Said he talked to one of the guys about marriage the night I was at the wedding and the guy told him he would know when he's ready. And I said I would agree with his buddy which is why i never push him, the only thing that would do would make him run away. He was excited to be getting pictures all day and kept telling me how beautiful I was, which if I do say so myself I looked like a movie star, think audrey hepurn and marilyn monroe. My hair was all done up in pin curls and waves and make-up rocked!
But I had a rough week before the wedding. In tears at the drop of a hat. Thursday before work I fell apart because a wonderfully, stupidly, beautiful song came on the radio...time is love gets me every time. So all day at work I was trying really hard not to fall apart, and even with little kids running around me all day it was hard to keep it together. I got home and was supposed to drive to my parents and just couldn't do it. My aunt could tell I was stressed out and exhausted and convinced me to ask my mom to meet me the next day. I was talking to Jim before he went to bed and just sobbed. The only explaination I could give him was that I was Jim sick, I missed him so much it was consuming me, which luckly doesnt happen often.
I ended up having my mom met me on Friday on my way down south to the wedding, because my present was still at home and it would have been an hour out of my way. We met at McDonalds and a couple of army guys in uniform walked in behind us. I was doing ok we ordered and I went to grab napkins and what not. I turn around and my mom was buying them lunch, which was sweet of her, but it caused me to completely lose it. I have never fallen apart in public like that. I couldn't pull it together either. I think it was a mix of stress, my mom being there and the guys in uniform all at once just caused a break down. I had been waiting for one, knowing it was going to happen at some point just not knowing when. I finally pulled myself together before I had to drive another 5 hours down for the wedding.
So other then that crazy weekend I've been just working and hanging out with my family. I am gonna hang out with some new friends this coming weekend, I have a feeling that will be some much needed chill time.
Hope everyone is well!
