A decision has been made...

I am going to give my two week's notice to Target today. I am unable to get anything wedding related done otherwise! I'm going to try to find employment in the Twin Cities someplace. Hopefully I'll be able to find something! But this is after yesterday... when they called me at 8:30 while I was sleeping in the most comfy bed EVER in Madison) saying that I was supposed to work that morning. WHAT?! I had requested it off... I had put it in my application, during my interview, during orientation, and then the week I started working to make sure I had it off. How much more obvious could I make it that I NEEDED THAT DAY OFF?! I had been committed to it since my sophomore year of college! I had gotten Fri-Sat off so I assumed that I had Sunday off, too. But nope. So I'll go in today (its going to be weird! I hate this kind of thing!) and tell them I'm sorry about yesterday, it was completely inadvertent and that if I had noticed I was scheduled I would have asked for it to be switched to evening hours. And then bust out the 'I'm sorry, but I have family matters that I must move back to Minnesota to take care of' spiel. I'm scared it's going to come out wrong! But oh, well. I am so happy to be going home and seeing family and friends again.

And then I read our booklet that we got from Glen Cary our church. We called them just before my birthday at the end of July and they promised to have something mailed to us within three weeks. So we called them at the beginning of September since we had not received anything and then we got something. And in it it says we need to talk to the Pastor no later than 6 months before the ceremony! EEKS! We now have 4.5 and it's going to be 4 before we get to meet with them (unless by some miracle Target lets me go before that...). And that the date isn't confirmed until then. Yikes. And we need to get them $400 IN THE OFFICE on or before the 15th. Express mail, here we come. This thing has got me stressing! Oh, well I suppose.

And we didn't get cell phones. We decided just to hold off on this. But that means that in Hinckley I'll have basically no phone service. Unless I get calls at home. Sheesh. I'll have to make sure our wedding vendors know this.

Jenny and Josh's wedding was beautiful! It was super hot (but not as hot as it was during your wedding, Jean) but I withstood it. It was super cute when they tried to light their unity candles... the wax from the two sticks dumped into the unity candle and drowned the wick so they stood there for minutes trying to get the wick lighted then Jenny finally dumped the wax down the side and then everything was fine. I got to sit next to Jenny at the reception (her mom was Matron of Honor and sat at a different table with her husband) and I congratulated them on a wonderful wedding and reception. They said thanks but that everything went well but the candle. And I told them that it was a great moment and it broke the tension. And they would remember it forever. Jenny was crying so hard at the rehearsal that she could barely get the vows out. But she did a little better at the actual ceremony even though she was crying. I saw many people wiping tears out of their eyes. It was super sweet. The DJ was great and Shaun danced with me! YAY!!!! I loved it soooo much! I got nasty and sweaty dancing but it worked out alright. I did my own hair and when I tried putting it up after putting curls in it it looked horrible. So I left it down and put the stuff I wrecked bobbypinned behind my ears.

Then yesterday we registered at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. We still have to do Target. Shaun registered at Home Depot for a impact driver, drill, and circular saw. Figures.
