Wow, what a week I have had. First of all Sunday night I got invited to Craigs parents house for dinner to celebrate their 12 year wedding anniversary so I was shocked about that. Then that night while at their parents, the night went really, really well. I had good conversations with John (craigs dad) and Carolyn ( craigs stepmom). Usually there is silence between us and we usually try to avoid looking at each other but that night there was plenty of good conversation and eye contact the whole night. Even when craig had to leave to help out one of his coworkers and I stayed at the house with his parents, it went pretty well. I was very amazed. I am glad it is finally happening though, we've been waiting for this for so long. Anyway, later on that night I was in the kitchen talking with carolyn and helping her put away dinner and what not, We started talking about the wedding. I casually mentioned that we were looking at the price of weddings and that we weren't sure if we could pull of paying for it and she looked at me and said "don't worry about it, we'll take care of it" I was very happy at that point, that takes off a lot of pressure on us. She has also said that I don't need to rent my dress, which I had been planning on doing, and that she would help me get my dress, or make one. She was also saying that we could have the wedding at their church for only $350 and that she is gonna be doing all the catering herself and that her parents would serve for us. Also she is wanting to make all the decorations and all that kind of stuff. I am soooooo happy that all this is coming together. We have only 9 months to get this wedding planned. At least it is more time than her son gave her.....LOL. (He only gave them 3 months notice.) So now I have to find a place to hold the reception that will allow us to do our own catering. If anybody has any ideas please let me know.
Well, it is getting late and my hands are getting tired from typing so I had better get to bed. School starts on Monday for me and I need to start getting to bed earlier and getting up earlier. After school starts I will post on how that went.
(SIDE NOTE: I did get all my financial aid ($1350) so thank god for that. and I have signed up for all but 3 classes. The 3 classes I will end up orange carding into. Will let ya know on monday how that goes)
Good Night to all,
Jen
