Okay - - so I've been MIA for almost two weeks. I desperately need to vent.
First, within the past week I've had someone pass away, another person get diagnoised with cancer. Those are the bad things. Good side, we did our engaged encounter weekend (pre-marital counseling) and I started my last semester in school before I graduated.
A) Whitney, I'm sorry I was unable to email you back, this is the first time I've sat at a computer all week because of the craziness going on. Let me know if it's too late or not. I have like five finished I can email you tonight and you can pick what you want / what you want changed. I'm sooooo sorry if it's too late. I've literally thought about you like 10 times this week saying, "if I do this, I'll have an extra ten minutes tonight" But truth is, the other day I was supposed to get off work at 3, and I left at 9pm..it's been the story of my life all week.
But I PROMISE to do it tonight. I can guarantee it, actually
Shower drama. My shower is tomorrow. There were supposed to be 5 co-hosts. Well one of the co-hosts, who is a really close friend, kept contacting me saying the other girls wouldn't tell her when it is, what to do etc. She emailed, called, texted and they never responded. They picked out invites without her, picked the date without her, basically did everything without her. She didn't know it was on Saturday until this past Monday. She had already made plans and felt terrible about it, practically tearing up on the phone. Well, I told her it was fine. However, she got a REALLY b!tchy email from the other co-hosts. Basically it's started this huge fight to the point where I don't even want to have the shower anymore. It's really petty BS. She even offered to pay for part of what's being brought / made when she gets her paycheck next week. The other girls just called her a liar and basically told her to F off. I told them I wasn't getting in the middle of it, but that I did know for a fact she had no idea when the shower was. Anyways, so THAT'S annoying. I'm wondering how awkward tomorrow will be.
I've NEVER had FMIL issues, until this week. The boys are wearing converse from Men's Warehouse. She called and said she found a $10 knock off at Wal Mart. They don't look the same, don't have the same logo, nothing. But she'd rather get those for her boys that are in the WP. I almost told her "Forget it, we'll pay for theirs" over the phone because I'm really annoyed with that. Please, don't decide to change this less than two months out. Especially since we picked out their attire back in NOVEMBER.
C) A positive note, I got TWO raises this month at my job, and FI got a job where he's actually the companies only engineer (which means good $). God definitely answered that prayer because we definitely need that $ to pay off our photographer. (We thought we owed her 1,000 but we really owe her 2,400) It was a total error on my part, but we definitely didn't budget for that.
There's a lot more running through my head right now, but I'll spare y'all the headache from reading anymore than I've already posted. Even though it's been tough, I was really encouraged when a few of our friends came up to me yesterday and go "What's nice is you're not bridezilla." Makes me feel better
Please send good vibes our way, I'm not sure how closer to the breaking point we can stand to get.
