i have the best husband. i was being very bratty this morning because the apartment is a mess. we have both been too tired from our journey to clean anything up or put away anything, and i of course took this out on him.
but i asked him to bring me home some caramels from work, and he said he would as long as i was nice when i got home.
i called when i was on my way, and when i got home he had a grilled cheese sandwich waiting for me. he really does make the best, the cheese is nice and melty and the bread is just slightly toasted.
and for dessert, he didn't just bring home a few caramels, but a whole box of my favorite chocolates. i wonder how long this box will last me. probably not long.

a tale of two weddings
as posted just a few moments ago i journeyed home to see my dear friend courtney get married. she was getting married on the same day as my brother-in-law got married. this made it convinient because we only had to make one trip home, but josh and i had to go our separate ways because they were only half an hour apart.
after the 18 hour car trip i had enough time to beautify myself and take swipes with me to the rehearsal. this was pretty uneventful, just like all the other rehearsal that i've done. we had a very nice meal at the trails where courtney showered everyone with prezzies. i got flip-flops and lip gloss, a little massager and beautiful earrings (i was told by courtney's neice that i should wear these to the wedding the next day).
courtney told us to be at the church at noon for pictures. to me this meant be ready and here at noon. catherine and i had to go to the mall for some last minute things, so we were running a little late. i thought it would be terrible to be both late and wearing jeans, so catherine helped me into my dress while i drove down the highway. we arrived at 12:10 and went into the church to discover- no one else was ready! i couldn't believe it. oh well, i guess that just meant i was able to help with other things.
courtney's dress was beautiful and she looked lovely in it. i'll post some pictures when i get my film from catherine. the bridal party was in light brown and we carried orange roses (they smelled heavenly). other than me "booking it" down the aisle and some of the flower girls losing a few buds the ceremony didn't have any mishaps. i did a good job fluffing courtney's train, although i wasn't sure if i should do it while we were supposed to be praying, hopefully it still looks good in the pics.
we got to drive around in a hummer limo before the reception. courtney had pretty branch and leaf candle holders for center pieces and leaf cookie cutter for favors. she managed to have a very simple yet elegant affair and look fabulous during the whole thing.
josh will have to write about his brother's wedding, including his musical toast.

incredible journey
i went home to indiana last week for my friend courtney's wedding. since josh and i had a few things to take home and several wedding gifts to bring back we decided to drive home. we wanted to bring home some yummy chocolate for everyone. so josh and i went to godiva to pick some things out. the girl that helped us asked me a silly question though.
"are these chocolates for something special?"
"yes, eating"
we packed everything that we wanted to take with us, table and chairs, CPU, dog stuff, bridesmaid dress, and chocolates and still managed room for a dog and a cooler. josh picked me up from work to save time and we were on our way. shortly after we were on 76 the stinks began. i think the first one was hogs, then sulfur, then some sort of reek that i couldn't identify. it was very pungent, and stung my nostrils. the smells continued into most of nebraska, and i of course made a point of covering my nose with the blanket and exclaiming "what is that smell?"
josh and i traded off driving and luckily for me zelda (our dog) only really bothered josh when he was trying to sleep, and didn't bother me too much. we stopped at a gas station in lincoln, NE where some creepy guy was hitting on me. luckily josh came in to rescue me. (unfortunately for me josh stopped at this same gas station on the way back and the same guy was working! i decided that i didn't have to pee until the next stop)
mom called me on my phone just as the sun was coming up to say that i might have to pick up catherine in iowa city because her car was still broken. so we made a detour and picked up catherine and dropped off the table and chairs (i broke her table so it would match her car).
poor swipes had to endure five hours of zelda crawling all over her. i suppose it didn't help that zelda had taken off the lid of a cup of coffee and was taking sips of it as she wanted.
it was fun to have a road trip with her, including a few rounds of the animal guessing game. josh i fear did not have fun, too much giggling i think.
the return journey was a little less fun. josh was very sleepy and even though i let him sleep for four hours, after two hours of josh driving, i was awoken by a poke and "can you drive? i'm sleepy." we also drove through rain and snow before arriving back in denver. i also resolved not to go into gas stations late a night without josh. i went into one where three guys were standing around, and the guy at the counter looked at my credit card (it has a fox on it), and said "do you have a fox on there because you are a fox? the picture certainly fits you" UGH!!!
i'm just glad that i didn't get kidnapped, josh didn't fall asleep at the wheel, and i didn't kill the dog for trying to snuggle with me.

i hate olivia newton-john
okay, i don't really hate her, i just hate her new album "grace and gratitude" it is sold exclusively at my pharmacy chain, and since she had breast cancer, she is donating 10% of the profits to research. it wouldn't be so bad if i just has to hear the promo every hour, but then they play the song right after it. and the song isn't even that good! it seems like i have to hear that song about 15 times a day, and it wouldn't be that bad if i had good tunes to listen to on either side of it, but usually it is other stinky songs like "solitaire." some days the music is good, but since olivia started, it's gotten decidely worse.

i have ringworm
today, there was a mother and her two young sons, (maybe 3 and 6 years old) that came to the counter for some advice. the older boy had ringwork on his neck and his mother was trying to save a trip to the doctor. as i was telling her what to use, her younger son yelled "i have ringworm!" and his brother retorted "no you don't". i tried not to laugh, but it couldn't be helped and the mom just said, "okay let's go" and thanked me. little kids are so cute.
today we finally went shopping for groceries which means i can have cereal and diet coke again. we usually try to make a list and stick to it, but as usual josh finds something that he simply must have, like chocolate pop-tarts and reese's cups. but when i try to get something that i forgot to put on the list like salami or cheese, he says "is that on the list?" but at least he goes shopping with me and sometimes even by himself (which is my favorite!). he does a good job when there's a list, but there's usually a few junk food items in the pantry when i get home.
Here is a picture from Hawaii, this is in the beginning of Raiders of the lost Ark when Indy is being chased by natives.
