My Nashville Weekend

Well I've told four people already that I would have this post up tonight so I guess I should get to it.

Mom and I went to Nashville for an extended weekend for my friend Ann Dee's wedding. Mom had a good time seeing the sites of N-ville and were happy to see Ann Dee marrying a great guy, Clint. Some of the places we went were the Wild Horse Saloon (rehearsal dinner), Belle Meade plantation, the Parthenon, and the Hermitage. We also stopped by the hotel where Ann Dee and Clint work, the Gaylord Hotel, and Mom was impressed by the whole operation. Here are a few pictures of the sites we saw.

The wedding and reception on a whole were wonderful. Ann Dee, her family and friends did such a wonderful job decorating the fellowship hall - I should know because I helped tear everything down afterwards. Mom and I were in charge of serving punch and I think we did a bang up job. No one went thirsty on our watch.

Everyone hears or knows of some mishap that occurs during the wedding. Well, Ann Dee's was a doozie. During her friend's song, I heard and saw a few people out of the corner of my eye, walking out of the church. I was really offended especially since they were walking out during the sermon. A few minutes later we hear siren and see flashing lights outside of the church. While Ann Dee is reading her vows to Clint, there is a loud pounding on the side door, one that is close to the stage. Come to find out after the ceremony, a guy was having a diabetic seizure and was a guest of the groom's dad therefore Clint's dad saw half of the ceremony. The guy ended up being fine. The pastor and church wedding planner said it was a first for them. Here is the most surprising thing of the whole night: Ann Dee never noticed and didn't say one word to her bridesmaids! As far as I know, no one has told her either. She never reads this blog so don't worry about her finding out from me!

Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures with the bride in her beautiful gown. I was in a family picture with her so I'll just have to wait to order my copy from the photographer. But here is a pictures of me looking cute!

Have a great week.

New Job

Well about the 2nd day of my unemployment, I was offered a job through the staffing agency I've been working with for the past few weeks. At the same time that I got the call about the job offer, I was accepting an interview with a company in Irving, TX. So within 24 hours I was packed, in TX, having lunch with my friend and interviewing.

Not expecting a job offer immediately from the TX company, I started my temp job on Thursday. I am working with 180 Medical in OKC. So far I've been in training for the last three days and everything is going well so far. In about a month, I will be covering maternity leave in the billing department.

What I'm really excited about this week, is my best friend Ann Dee's wedding that is on Friday. Mom and I are heading to Nashville on Thursday morning and will get back late Saturday night. I will be reading scripture at the wedding and serving punch with Mom. I've got a great dress for the ceremony and really, who wouldn't be excited about that?!

I'll have pictures up hopefully by next week of all of us looking cute and happy.
