Looooong weekend

Well Brandon and I decided to get out of Dodge and left Eburg thurs evening, giving us a lovely three day weekend at home. My original reason for going home was my friend Brittany's 21st birthday party, but as usual I managed to find lots of other things to do.

Mom took my shopping in Seattle on friday to look for a dress for the wedding. Not a wedding dress, since it'll be so small, and it would be pretty silly to get a full blown gown for just a small ceremony outside. It'll be casual and relaxed, and so I was looking for something street length, springy, and something I could wear again. We went all over the city and after not finding even one thing that tweaked my interest, we caught the ferry back so we could finish out the day trying out luck in Silverdale. We had a good time in the city though. It's been a long time since we got to spend so much time together.

Got out to Silverdale and didn't have luck at the bridal place so decided to look in the mall. Ran in to Maurice's long-time friend John (featured in one of Maurice's posts a few weeks back, was living in the Phillipines for the last 9 months or so). I hadn't even known he was back in the country yet.

Found a lovely dress finally. Funny enough, I had seen the same dress in the city but hadn't bothered to take it off the rack because it was in the petite section, and I am not a petite. However, I decided to give it a try and it's pretty much perfect. I'm very pleased.

Saturday we had Maurice's parents over. My mum had met them briefly once before, but not my dad. I was nervous because my dad can say some stupid things some times, but it went really well. I love them and couldn't have picked better in-laws if I'd had the option to do so. I know our moms will be friends, and though our dads won't be hanging out most likely, they will be just fine when they are together. That was a weight off my shoulders.
After that I went to Brittany's birthday and spent half the night dodging the cigarette smoke with one of my friends and her baby.

Today was glorious weather and I busted out my new spring dress. Brandon and I headed back to Eburg and were pleased to be greated with 80 degree weather. WOo HOOO! Good weather from here on out, baby.
