Scrambling
What an exhausting week so far! After taking care of myself (haircut and facial), my Mom and I struggled with wedding preparations. Celina had to work until Thursday night, so we were scrambling to make sure everything would run smoothly. We ran into some obstacles, but I was not in the mood to be messed with. I made sure that people knew we meant business. I guess if I had been around early on, I would have been more assertive with these people. Celina is, after all, the last one to get married, so we wanted to make sure to go out with a bang.
Celina also came home today and took care of some business. I know she was stressing out, but she looks great for a bride-to-be. We are all so tired, but that won’t stop us from having a great time.
And today, my cousin Chris called me to let me know that their flight had been diverted to San Antonio due to a thunderstorm in Houston. I thought he was kidding. They made it to Fannett around 10:30 p.m. I was surprised that all those Mendoza boys made it without stopping for food! Thanks to Tita Beth and Tito Manny for cooking all that great Filipino food the whole week.
It was great to finally see my California family. I miss them a lot. I’ll post some pictures as soon as I can.
One thing you can count on in times like this – lots of laughter. My cousins and extended family always make me laugh – even if it is at my expense. I can take it!
Plus, get my parents together with my aunts and uncles, and there is surely laughter to be had. That’s what I love about our family – how much fun we have together. We need more parties and reunions!
