Wedding Day
Today is my wedding! I am really excited about the whole thing. Unforunately, I can’t sleep yet. This isn’t so good, but it’s not so terrible either, because I still need to finish my vows, work on my reception toast and maybe pack for the honeymoon… all things that can be done with late night nervous energy, instead of tomorrow (I don’t work so well during the day anyway, right?)
The funny thing about this is that I had been pretty persistant to Joy and her mom tonight about making sure Joy got enough sleep tonight. She was in bed by 1:00 — 1:30 AM, but not me… I was calling over there to see how she was doing and to tell her that I was worried about her dad. He seemed kinda down today, and I bet he is pretty struck by the fact that is one daughter is really moving on and all those things that Dad’s feel when they say goodbye to their precious daughters.
So, I called to see if Joy was asleep yet (she wasn’t) and to tell her to say some reassuring things to her Dad. She’s been so busy lately, I bet that she hasn’t had time to give him much attention at all. Besides, a word or two like “I’ll always be your daughter, Pere” or “Y’know, I love you, Pere, and I really appreciate all you’ve done for me.” could go a long way toward cheering a guy up. Hopefully she makes a chance for herself to say some of these things tomorrow morning.
On another note…
I spent some time talking to Shavon tonight going over good times. There were so many nights when I’d talk about this girl or that girl during High School; I just had to reminisce a little and be excited with her. Also, she let me know that she used the search feature on this blog and didn’t find her name or the names of many other of my friends from High School. The thing with that though, is that I decided that I wouldn’t mention people by name unless I had permission from them to do so (or if I didn’t like them enough to care that I don’t have persmission.) I know who I am thinking about in my vague references, after all.
Before I talked with Shavon, I spent about a half an hour planning my pre-wedding wedding day with my sister and her husband. That was a ton of fun. We talked about all kinds of things like kids, my brothers, my mom, them, sex, and other jokes. Those two are so much fun! I really like that Joy likes and loves them a lot too, because I like spending time with them. It’s really fun talking to them about sex too, because my sister is all fun and comfortable when she talks about it, but when I chip in something (and most know that I can throw a choice word or two down when it comes to talking about sex) it shocks her and seems to make her uncomfortable. (She’s the big sister after all, so she kinda likes to think of me as the kid-brother — meaning pure, innocent and no sex talk!) Yeah, so… her husband thinks I’m funny sometimes and he’s good at chipping in his own commentary, and after like two or three one liners we’re in deep and Tami’s laughing, but kinda uncomfortable all at the same time. This is great stuff, for me. lol.
