Work, Travel, Dance & Run

Anthony proposed on July 1st and my family reunion was July 3rd. He couldn't make it because I had decided to go last minute. So, he didn't have the pleasure of meeting my beautiful grandmother, wonderful aunts & uncles and crazy cousins. But, my cousin go married this weekend and it was like a reunion all over again (just not in the country). Of course not everyone could attend but it was so great to be around family again to celebrate a lovely occasion. The weekend started off busy. Anthony had worked his night job so I go up at 7am to pack us, walk and feed the dogs so we would be ready to go at 8am, as he arrives home about 7:30ish. We're pretty much on time, leaving Austin at 8am to drive to Houston which is about 170 miles or 2.5 hours travel time. I stopped by my hair stylish to have her curly my hair, put false eyelashes on (first time) and get some beauty products. During that 30-35 minutes Anthony goes running as he has a 10K the next morning. Its 11:30ish I'm beautified and Anthony's back from running so we go to my parent's house. We arrived and were hugged tightly by my mom. She has a bit of separation anxiety but she doing better, my dad is okay and greets us with a hug and hand shakes. My big sister and husband were upstairs but quickly came down when they heard our voices and smelled my mom's superb gumbo. So we all sat down to eat and hear a knock at the door. It's my favorite uncle and wife. The reunion begins! We eat and start getting dressed but got a little late so as I was coming down the stairs in a hurry I totally fell, like missing two steps. Poor Anthony had to come pick me up, (my hero) I was okay, no limp, thank goodness...because I want to dance at the reception. So, we head to the church and see all the family, sit down and attend the wedding mass. An hour later we head to the reception site and the good times start. I introduce Anthony, we eat hors d'oeuvres and sit at the bar as the guest had to wait for all the pictures to be taken. Around 7pm we eat, the cake is cut and the dancing is on. We had such a great time! Everyone asked us how our wedding plan are going and we tell them it's great but we have such busy schedules ahead of us. We just can't wait for our day to arrive! We left the wedding around 11pm and drove back home. I was so tired I tried to stay up and keep Anthony company but failed. We got home safely, let the dogs out and went to sleep. Just to get up at 7:30am Sunday morning, to rush to his 10K at IBM. My baby finished in less than 45 minutes. You Go Boy! Life is good and we are so thankful!
