bridal shower gifts

Last weekend we attend a couple's shower for my friends Jon & Joyce, whose wedding Owen will be standing up in as a minature groom/ring bearer. Joyce is still trying to decide if she wants a 2 year old running around with the precious wedding rings.

The set up with nice and not too many shower games. Owen had a blast even though the party didn't start til 8pm. I think he ate his way through the entire party. He got to meet the little girl who he will be walking down the aisle with - Audrey. First impression he left on her is reaching over to her plate and eating off of it - she kept giving him dirty looks for wanting to eat the M&M's off her plate.

Not attending a bridal shower in over 2 yrs, I forgot how everyone usually receives 'that special gift' amongst all the other gifts off the registry. Jon & Joyce were no different. It came from Jon's grandma - Jon's dad made sure they opened that last because at he put it - it would take a while. It was 2 big boxes that within it were an assortment of stuff - christmas ornaments, halloween napkins (paper), other seasonal decor, etc. - that were all individually wrapped in tissue paper.

really?

I'm off to Altanta for the week. I had a girl's trip planned for this weekend and coincidently work had scheduled something for Atlanta on Mon-Wed next week. I've looked forward to this weekend for a REALLY long time but of course the guilt kicked in super hard so I'm running around this morning trying to do some house errands and setting up Tom for dinner.

I made it to the airport about 30 minutes before my flight takes off which is normally fine for the Dayton airport. I check in without a problem but as I was pulling my ID out for the ticket lady, I realize it is Oct. 9 and my birthday is Oct. 1 and on my birthday this year, my license expired. Needless to say, I missed my flight since I didn't have my passport. The ticket lady points me in the direction of the nearest BMV...which was in absolutely wrong direction of where the BMV really was. With help from Tom, I find it and to my surprise NO LINE! I walked right up to the counter and the lady is even friendly. As she looks me up in the system, she tells me that her computer system just went down. After 5 min, it comes back up and I now have a valid license with an blurry, ugly pic. I am now back at the airport, had to get rebooked for another flight, and waiting here for the next 2 hrs.

I called Allison and told her I think we need to head from the airport to a bar.
