Two in one day?

I know, two blog posts in one day... I have a reason. The other one, the KC post, was supposed to be up on Thursday when I had my few moments of bliss, but due to random computer problems I couldn't post it til today. So for the rest of my weekend...

I went to my soon-to-be-nephew's seventh birthday party on Friday night, and his parents are nuts. A kiddie party on Friday and leaving for vacation the next morning? Whew. But it was sorta fun, and the kids enjoyed themselves. About 15 kids from six weeks to eight years old. Yikes! It scared me a little, to be honest. I still don't want to give birth to children and I still really don't care for babies (thank goodness there were enough people around so I didn't have to participate in the "Pass-the-Baby" circle) but one of the kids there was adopted and I'm actually excited about that. Ray worries because he wants children (and he'll make a great dad), but I really do want (adopted) kids eventually, as long as they're potty-trained :).

On Saturday the whole family went to our appointments for cake tastings (me, Ray, Brooke, and my parents), and it was okay. I'm just ready for wedding planning to be over. The further I go along I realize how all this is kind of dumb. All this preparation and stress for one day? We'll spend the rest of our lives together and I'm worried about one day?

But am I going to stop stressing? Probably not.

And UGA won their baseball game! Go Dawgs!

So today I'll be packing to go back to Athens for class. I still have to make a few charts for it (yay for researching demographics) but I'll be there for a few days before I come back again for more appointments. Sigh. But good news for planning: We are going to get really cheap tuxes! Gotta love family connections.

P.S. I love this kind of Georgia summer weather we're having right now--hot days with storms every afternoon... It's nice, and it brings me back to memories of playing in puddles. Maybe I should do that today if it rains... anyone want to join me?
