Weekend Report
Friday
Wake up to Pop-tarts on the go...I had a substitute job at Paredez MS. It was cake...I think I actually like junior high. There at that level to where they not too smart alack but still willing to do what i say without a lot of back talk. I googled most of the day looking up honeymoon and cruise ideas...got any? I also went over a few poems for my mom. Later once I got off, I headed to the shop to get my hair permed-the waves been fighting me for a minute! We left Austin on our way to Houston late. SO late to where David and I had to trade. But once I got to her arms I forgot all about it. We stayed up a bit talking then I drifted into dreams.
Saturday
I awoke to my mom leaving out to go help set up the hall for her Retirement Party. We got up and prepared for our engagement pictures. They came out soooooo nice! Still, we're looking forward to letting TeeTee do her thang. After those we headed to the hall to help decorate too, rushing to get things ready, the picture cake was sooo pretty, back to the apt get dressed, then back up to the hall to greet guest. There wasn't a huge turn out but it was nice all the same. My sister and brother def did that! I read the poem(s) to my mom and watched her eyes tear up, along with other guests in the audience. I however didn't get teary, I was just happy to have the opportunity to dedicate something to her. We danced and ate and just did the fool. Mixed and mingled with people who hadn't seen us since we were babies...my old softball coach pissed me off-offended me on some other stuff. He made this "joking" comment saying that he didn't even know if I was going to graduate...insinuating that because I use to fight alot, and that I was rough, that maybe I wasn't smart? Ummmm, I smiled back curse words, but I did let him know that even though I got in fights I was in the honor program and i also got a scholarship in academics! What the hell was he talking about? Dude, move around...or better yet, I will. Kaydee! I finally got to see him, just came back from Trinidad. Him and David talked and chilled together, which makes it so much easier for me because KayDee is my best guy friend. My cousins Mikey and Lil D were there-they look so grown. Everything turned out so nice. I even got to dance with the smoothest dancer there is-my Uncle Leroy. I learned about three line dances too. And once we cleaned and loaded and unloaded the cars David and I crashed!
Sunday
The weekend def went by fast. We didn't go to church...I forgot my clothes. David and I hung out at the house and just enjoyed each others company. My mom spent the morning talking on the phone about her night. We had some laughs and i was glad that she had a good time and enjoyed herself. We ate some left overs then packed to head out. I wanted to see my grandmother before i left though. Usually it is really hard for me to see her. She helped practically raise me since I was like 3months old and now two strokes later she's weak and I wish I could take care of her. But her wit and mind is still there. I always make sure that she knows when the wedding is and ask if I have permission to get married. She approved and told me that i have 3months! What! This is true, but I hadn't even thought about it like that! She told me that she'll be there. I know she'll have on something sharp-she's always known how to dress. She remembers that I'm going to be a teacher, saying she knows I can do it. That made me feel good, seeing her made me feel good, she is the break of my heart-I love her so much. I kissed her goodbye and we got on the road. Arriving in the ATX i immediately got to my homework-since i have two papers due on Tuesday. I had already written them just needed to go over the grammatical errors. We are pooped, but def a full weekend-Goodnight!
