I enjoyed the trip and was really happy to get away, but I don't know...I was a little perturbed at how my friend was. He was a close friend in college and he was an usher at my wedding. When we first were getting to know each other, I had a little crush on him. That didn't last too long though because he's just kind of an idiot and he drove me crazy because he's somewhat thoughtless at times. This weekend was a good reminder of that. I don't know...I realize that it was a busy day for him and hectic and he had a lot of people to see and talk to but it took him most of the night to come say hi to us and it was us who sought him out. I was hoping to see him before the wedding to say hi and wish him luck . Well I found him in a back room waiting and when I looked in, he was on the phone giving directions to someone. He waved at me and I thought he might come out when he got off...nope! Like I said, I realize it was hectic for him and he had a million other things on his mind. But we had drove quite a ways and I would have liked him to at least come say hi...
We finally did talk to him after the wedding, and after dinner was served and he was running around moving tables and chairs inside because the weather had blown in. And even when we did talk to him, it felt weird. Like we weren't good friends and we only knew each other way back when.
If I had to do all over again, I'm not sure I would bother. He did text me after and said thanks for coming, which was nice, but it was just disappointing. It wasn't like it was just hubs and me. I was also hoping there might have been some other people from college that would be good to see, but there was no one. We didn't know anyone else, which really can make a wedding kinda lame.
The nice part was that we got to sis hubs ' sister and she volunteered to babysit for a couple hours so we could have a little break. That right there was almost worth the whole trip itself. We went and got a drink and some food (we had to rush through dinner at the wedding to avoid getting blown away) and just enjoyed some alone time. I also got to do some shopping at Target and Walmart and we got to go to Cosco for the first time (that was fun!) so it wasn't a complete waste. And we had breakfast with SIL and my maid of honour. That was another thing! I cannot believe how shallow she has become. She was always a little silly and not very mature (and very vain!) but it has gotten bad! At one point she told us that our baby needed to tan! I know she was joking, but I mean really? I found that I had nothing to talk about with her. Honestly very little has changed in her life. She recently had to move back to Montana because she moved to Florida and couldn't cut it apparently. And now she works at Target again/still and lives with her mom. And she must not have been very interested in my life either because she didn't ask me anything. Not about Jack, how it was going being home with him, how the birth was, how pregnancy was, nothing! 'sigh' I guess distance just doesn't always do so well for all friends. She and I used to be able to go months without talking and be able to pick up like it was nothing. Not anymore I guess.
Well on a better friend note, one of my besties who I have stayed in touch with quite well over the years told me she's expecting again! And I am so happy for her! She also told me that she had a miscarriage around the time Jack was born. She didn't want to say anything because I was busy with him, but I feel bad that she didn't. I can't imagine how hard it was for her and I wish I could've been there for her.
Wouldn't it just be perfect if you could live near every single person that you care about and love so that you never lose touch and your friends and family are with you at any moment? That's what I think Heaven is like...
