Cris and I got back from visiting her folks in Missouri this afternoon. We’ve essentially been away from home for two weeks since we were in the The Netherlands the week before we went to Missouri. I really enjoyed both trips, but I’m tired and glad to be home. That being said, I wanted to share a couple of thoughts from the weekend.
One of our goals from going out to MO this trip was to get some planning stuff for the wedding done, and I’m pretty sure we actually accomplished some of that. We’ve decided on the person that’s going to make our cake and we’re pretty sure we know what we’re going to have her do. The specifics haven’t been decided on. We know the cake flavors we’re going to use and general shape, but not specific details. I’ll let Cris worry about that. We also got a much better idea on what we’re going to do for flowers. We couldn’t get a florist locked down b/c many places weren’t taking appointments until after the new year to discuss weddings next year. We’ll have to get that sorted out at a later time.
I think having two Thanksgiving feasts on two consecutive days is more than I can handle. I’ve never eaten so much food in a 24 hour period, and I’m not sure that I ever will again. Full spreads of turkey, mashed and sweet potatos, stuffing, cranberry sauces, green bean casseroles, and whatever else you might want at both meals. On top of that, there were between 10 and 15 deserts over the two days. All of it was delicious, but I’m paying the price for discovering that it was all delicious today.
How is it that Cris and I couldn’t get our seat assignments until right before the flight boarded today because it was in an oversold status, but there were opens seats on our plane when we took off? I’m having a harder and harder time believing airline people these days.
Good news, bad news when we got home. Got home in time to see the FSU-Florida game. Florida bludgeoned my ‘Noles mercilessly. Don’t have to tell you which is the good and which is the bad.
Silver lining of the day is that its Saturday and I have one more day before I have to go back to work. I hope everyone else had a great weekend with friends and family.
