this day last year.
it was really rainy this morning. i hope it rains on this day for the rest of my life. i guess i should really say 'tomorrow' because tomorrow is our actual anniversary. but today is friday and last year today is what i'm thinking about.
this time last year i would be getting ready to leave and drive to our apartment. i think we left around 1. i forgot all of my make up stuffs at our house so we stopped there and i put my dress on. i remember that i was trying to eat this blueberry bagle that my mom brought because i was soooooo hungry. i tired to eat plain flavored malt-o-meal earlier in the morning but i was so nervous. i think i sat there for like, an hour trying to eat. anyway, so i was eating the bagle and it was dry and i didn't have any water and i had the worst nervous tummy. sort of like "first day of school" nervous tummy but times 10. or maybe times a hundred. i think that after we got to the garden it went away. and then after the ceremony i felt a TRILLION times better. months and months of built up stress was gone. MAGICALLY!
we haven't been back to the garden since the wedding and i really want to go back. either today or tomorrow. probably tomorrow because it's saturday. i think we'll go out for din also. becasue i think that's what your supposed to do on your anniversary.
some other things that happened before the wedding:
-i went to get my hair done and as we were leaving i totally lost it and the daughter of the lady who did my hair saw me. i think i was making this really really awful face and then i started crying right as i got out of the door. i was worried that the girl might think i didn't like my hair and she would tell her mom. but i really liked my hair and that is why i was crying. or something.
-i had the song everthing right is wrong again stuck in my head the night before and it was in my dreams. i like that song a lot.
that is all i can think of now. all you need to know is that i was more nervous than i have ever been in my life. even more then the first day of kindergarten, getting on the plane to go to alaska the first time, AND moving to iowa. sheesh.
oh, and one more thing. so right before the ceremony was supposed to start the groomsmen boys were up in the parking lot making sure people knew where to go. some how brent didn't make it down and then the horn peeps started playing the song i was going to walk to. i started FREAKING OUT because brent wasn't there. then brad ran up to get him. everyone was really wet. the horn peeps kept playing the song and repeating and i was worried. i was pissed at brent for like 5 minutes. when i walked down the flower petal isle i mouthed "I'M GOING TO KILL YOU" and pointed my finger at him. i was soo mad. then i was really embarassed that i said that. even though i don't think many people saw me do it. but my mom's friend asked me about it afterwards and i almost died. brent, i'm sorry i thought you were going to ruin my wedding and threatened to kill you. i didn't really want to kill you. it was just hormones. yeah, that's it.
