Counting down


Last night was the culmination of events leading up to my wedding--the bachelorette party!! I continue to be amazed at how lucky I am to have such great people around me. From April's mom allowing us to borrow her house for the Pure Romance party to Lana, who changed her call schedule just so that she could come. I had told April ahead of time that I didn't want to get so drunk that I was sick or acting stupid, unlike the Redneck Scientist who came home without a shirt and not remembering a lot of his night with the boys. Thankfully, I am headache free this morning, despite the number of shots I ingested.
Doesn't April look pretty in this picture? We had our makeup done yesterday as a trial run for the wedding. April felt like a tramp but she looked amazing. The girls will have a very retro look--thick, black eyeliner, big lashes & red lips. Its pretty much my normal look but April wasn't used to it. A funny thing happened to me at the mall yesterday. I was in Torrid, one of my favorite stores and they were having a modeling try out. I walked by several times but paid them no attention. As we were leaving the store, they stopped me and asked me to sign up. I hesitated and gave several excuses about why I'm not model material. The owner of the modeling agency told me that I was exactly what he was looking for. What a hoot! On the way to the bachelorette party they called me to tell me that I made their top 10, out of 45 girls that they saw yesterday. I told them that I was getting married in 2 weeks so when they called me they told me that they changed the date of their "pagent" just for me because the owner was so impressed with my look. Its funny to think that I have a look. So as it turns out, they moved the date to the following saturday and we'll be in Seattle on our honeymoon. I'm not going to pursue it at all...the guy seemed really interested in me so if hes serious, he'll contact me.
Jerry is away in Baltimore until thursday. Everyone said that it would be nice to have the house to myself & to have a break. I'm finding its just the opposite..I actually miss him already.
