So I had my first dress fitting this evening. I'm altering my own dress (it's what I do for a living), and had my MIL come over tonight to pin it for me b/c my FI works out of town until Friday.
MIL comes over, and goes to the sink to wash her hands. The cold valve gets stuck, and the water will not turn off. We call FI, who tries to walk me through fixing it (that plan fails). We call FIL, who says he's on his way over to help. While waiting for him to arrive (it's about a 15 minute trip) I get into my dress and my MIL starts pinning.
FIL arrives, and we all take a field trip to the back yard to shut off the main water valve, and a search through the garage to find the shut off key. Then a trip to the garden to get my 7 year old nephew to stop digging for worms. All while wearing my half pinned dress. And heels.
The good news--sink is fixed, dress is pinned, and I managed to get through the adventure without gettin myself dirty. This is a good omen.
