How could I be so stupid??

So the biggest meeting in preparation for our wedding scheduled for Patrick and I was last night. It was with the Pastor I want to marry us. I have been planning this wedding for 9+ months and up to this point, I have been complimented by numerous people/companies about my fine organizational skills and planning of such wedding. I take pride in this. I have to be the best.. no matter what task is at hand. Well last night, I was not at my best and I was horrified.

I arrive home from work shortly after 5:00. I tell Patrick we have plenty of time as we are scheduled to meet at 7:00. So we plug in the Wii and play Mario Brothers a while. We leave our house at 6:15 because we want to be early. We want to make a good impression and show this Pastor that we are serious about our wedding. So we get there 20 minutes early and are waiting in the parking lot as the doors are locked. As a lady emerges from the building we check to make sure we are in the right place-- and we are. She calls the Pastor and leaves him a message letting him know that we are waiting on him. At 6:55, Patrick and I get out of the car and go stand by the door. We want the Pastor to see we are there- on time. We are READY! It gets to be about 10 after 7. I am freezing from standing in the cold and getting nervous. If the Pastor cannot be on time to this meeting, how will I know he will be on time for the big day? I am starting to panic. I have Patrick start calling our wedding coordinator with the church as I start to dig into my wedding book for any information I have. As I flip to the calendar I notice something horrible... My heart drops. I start to get teary eyed. Our meeting was at 6:00! As I was sitting at home trying to beat world 6 on Mario Brothers, my Pastor is waiting in his office to discuss our spiritual relationship in marriage and I missed it!! I am mortified. I call back the wedding coordinator and let her know our situation. I am at this point so worried that he is going to think I am a flake-- a horrible bride. Unorganized and irresponsible. And he was going to be unwilling to marry us. I am just in utter worry!!

Luckily, I get the direct number to the Pastor and leave him a message about how I honestly just made a mistake. We had 3 meeting scheduled this week, one each night and I just got the time confused. I ramble on his machine for what seems like forever begging and pleading for him to call me back as soon as possible to reschedule. I am thinking that at this point the wedding is ruined, 9 months of planning and it's all ruined because of my stupid mistake.
Well Pastor Josh luckily called me this morning at 10:00 while I was in a meeting at work. My co-workers had been advised of this horrible mistake above so I take the call. Josh was so understanding. Thank goodness, because I did not want him to think of me as some unorganized bride who has no courtsey for other's time. He has rescheduled our meeting for February 9th.

I am still in shock that I made such a huge mistake. How can I be so stupid sometimes? It just amazes me!

Torture at the hands of my own Mother!

TORTURE!!!

Why, does my mother send me an email with the faces of these puppies stating "they need good homes"? Does she not remember my blog from a while back??? Let me refresh you all...

So I get this email and immediately text Patrick to ask for a new puppy. Now 2 weeks ago, we almost got suckered into getting a basset hound puppy. I had named her and everything. Anyway, Patrick responds back with the answer that I knew he would give me.."Sounds good." So I text mom for all the details--darn, she's still at lunch. But wait- I see an email address at the bottom, that must be the owner. So I email with all my pertinent questions and I get a response back stating they all have homes.. which makes me happy but also sad because I want a new puppy...and a baby. Gosh darn you mother!
