Today was the first day at home for the past four days. But really it’s felt like the past two weeks. If it weren’t for Jen doing my laundry last week, I think I would have run out of clean underwear somewhere around Tuesday. But the fact still remains that I survived my first season of Grad Nite trips. I learned a few things, but I’m thankful for my camp and hotel experience or I would have been DOA. One thing that I learned for sure is that when the company offers to pay for you travel, you take it. Driving to LA sucks. I dislike LA already, but having to drive through it makes me despise it. On the way home on Sunday, I was never so thankful to see the Grapevine after a gas truck and an old man tried to run me out of my lane. After visiting G-ma and my sister and the boys, I rolled into home around 11p after leaving Anaheim at noon.
But I have been moving so fast around doing everything when I can I have been mostly MIA to my friends. If anyone has heard from me it’s been by text for a few minutes. Especially because the rain has screwed the backyard project, anytime that I get this is sunny I’m out there trying to get ready for the grass to come in. I’m super excited to have the grass FINALLY get installed tomorrow. Then I’m about 70% done with the backyard project and I can get back to some sense of normalcy. Oh wait, I’m getting married too. Well scratch that. Jen has been working so hard on the wedding that I really have defaulted to her because we have a divide and conquer method to this wedding. I take care of the backyard; she takes care of the wedding. We’ll meet somewhere in the middle.
Although, tomorrow will be a fantastic afternoon. We had to have a few meetings with people that are involved with our wedding. Instead of running around town meeting with these people, we’re making them come to happy hour at Christian Michael’s. Nothing makes a meeting better than having a drink and half priced food. So we will parade these people in and get our stuff done while I get my buzz on. The last group should be the luckiest because I’ll be the loosest on the checkbook.
But for tonight, I am enjoying God’s little gift, some free water (aka rain) to moisten the ground for the install and a night where I don’t worry about anyone but me. I get a little selfish when I stress out, but I just need to take a little time to regroup and tonight is it. When I wake up tomorrow, I’ll be ready to handle everyone else’s problems… if I feel like it.
