Jun 10
Since today is the day before the wedding, Nicole and her family were all going to be working on the flowers. So I wanted to come over with Martyn for a bit, and let him get introduced to everyone.
I had to pick mom up from Ruth's house (Ruth is one of Jack's daughters) because she needed a ride to the pregnancy center and had gone early in the morning with Jack to his granddaughter's 8th grade graduation.
So Martyn got so say hello to a few family members, and he totally spit up on both of my legs while we were at Ruth's. Oh well. I also got tricked by the "June gloom" in the morning, and wore jeans thinking it was going to be coolish today. By the time I had picked mom up, it was totally sunny and kind of warm out. If I had remembered about the cloud cover burning off by 11, I would have worn shorts!
I dropped mom off at the pregnancy center, and then had to go get my shoes for the wedding. I just went to Payless. Martyn was asleep. Then we headed over to Nicole's house and hung out with her and her family for a few hours, while they worked on the flowers. I only was able to do my bouquet, because I was taking care of the boy. But everyone seemed to appreciate seeing him all smiley and awake....when we were down here in March, the one night that I got to visit with that group of friends, Martyn slept the whole time. It was fun to show off his little personality a bit.
I picked mom up, and had her drive the rest of the way home because I had been having a nagging headache all day. It was nice to come home (to mom's house) and just have a nice quiet evening in with her and Jack. I like being able to relate to mom now, as an adult and as a mother. It's a totally different dynamic in our relationship, and it's pretty cool. I'm always going to be her baby, but it's really nice to finally feel like we're on the same playing field.
