WeddingOverSTRESS?Dancing King/5YRStrip/Campingout

What a week what a weekend I had...
Last friday after work I got the kids and headed to home to get the kid's baths and head to the church... went through the rehersals a few times..Sondra not walking down the isle...I had my wishful thinking going on and saying she'll do fine for the big day...and then had a lovely meal after ward at my Grandpa Kenny's...and then thats wheen the trimmer began....I'm on my way home and it hits me... Best Man's Toast..Maid of Honor speech/toast?... SHIT!... I guess it hit me b.c. it was the 1st time I really met Al..Like I had seen him in passing... IDK..But my 1st reaction..sweating... lol.. then I text my sister...and ask if AL was doing a speech..and she replies an hour or so later....Yes he has one ready... my reaction.......SHIT SHIT SHIT....that means I'll be expected to do one... eehh... talking...so I get home... outbursts to Jake!..and he says oh you'll be fine...and then I start.... this is at like 11 closer to midnight....so then I'm kind of just writing something...thinking maybe I won't have too..but then confirmation from Jess she texts: "Do you have one ready"....my down right lie... of course... lol..SHIT...at about 1am...I'm on the phone to Lace telling her my speech and asking if it sounds ok..with some confidence from Lace and another reciting to my Sister in Law Kayla..I feel good about it... I'm confident in the speech but me actually me saying it...eeeekk... so now.. we are ready in the back of the church waiting to walk down the isle...Sondra... surprising won't go and grabs hold of my leg and buries her head..almost pulling up my dress to reveal my body armor that is supposed to be worn and not seen lol (girls you know what that means)...but I catch it just in time... I really wanted to hurt her... it gets worse... so this is the 1st time we all are dressed up as a family so I want Misty to take a family picture of us... who doesn't co operate..not my baby boy..but my little bratty girl..I was really mad at her..like contemplating spanking her b.c. she won't look at the camera and smile for us...I was ticked...haven't seen the photos yet..hopefully there is at least one good one in there...so we get to the reception...the DJ.. my uncle Dave says we are going to do the toasts right before everyone eats..so that like what in 2 minutes... aahh.. not feeling real confident... so AL is nervous..I'm nervous...and he is asking if I wanted to go first...and I say well sure! lol... I'm goofy... so all this anticipation you probably think I fell flat......well I didn't... I handled it... maybe its b.c. I took Public Speaking in college...or not Idk...it just scared the pee out of me standing up and talking in front of 500 people..although while speaking I could feel my free hand shaking...or I felt like my voice sounded shaky... but with people's reassurances they said it was great... 
I was happy for the rest of the night.... so happy I was even dancing... lol.. Jake loves to dance...me not so much..but will do for my husband..I'm more willing to dance with a few drinks in me but I decided not to drink anything that night...and let him have a few...so there I was just relieved that I got the speech over with and thought I couldn't humiliate myself any worse so I danced a little and by the end of the night when we were still dancing and people were cleaning up- I decided to continue to dance so I wouldn't have to help clean up lol.... I'm so lazy I know... also of those who seen my hubby dancing... no he wasn't drunk he was feeling good  lol...and if you think that is crazy..you should be at a CLUM wedding and In the Navy Comes on...eehhh 
I was so happy to be home and in bed with the wedding over... we slept in the next day... all of us were grumpy too lol... we opened presents at my grandpa's the next day also... and my last Maid of Honor duty was over..writing down all the crap that I would like to have that the bride received on a piece of paper!.. lol..and I told My Sister..I'M NOT THROWING you your Baby Shower whenever that may be..LOL... I don't think she was offended..
I cannot wait for next weekend... Jake & I's 5 year anniversary is Friday July 22...we are going to a red's game @ 710pm with really good seats Jake got through one of his salesman at work... but taking the day off and going for a tour at the park..and then today we decided going and getting cheap seats for the game on Saturday... man I love my husband... I have a hard time watching Baseball on tv..but I'll manage...it is going to be nice...our hotel is in walking distance to the park... and a nice one..I'm excited to get "away"... 
Welp... I have to be going...I'm off Camping this weekend with the horses... it should be good...a weekend of doing nothing sitting around a fire and riding in a wagon.. can't wait! There is just something about that noise from the horses feet hitting the grounding...

  1. Mom commented that you did very well on your speech! :) I'm sure many others thought that same! Also I saw someone's post on Jake's FB, so I assumed he broke out some of those Clum Men dance moves! ha!

    Where are you camping this weekend?!
