Summer vacation about to end...:(

Well, this summer was kinda boring, but we did a few fun things. Summer was over on July 28th and on July 30 we went to Karen's reception. It was pretty crowded, but really fun.
We had the time to drive to Yosemite with the parents. That was pretty epic. We had already visited the coat and San Simeon (sp?) so we went inland this time. Yosemite was pretty nice, Rob took some great photos, most are on my face book page and mom's if you guys haven't got a chance to take a look. I would post them here, but for some dumb reason this blogger has stopped letting me put photos up. We only hiked to bridal veil falls because it was the "easy" hike. I was winded and my knee kept popping and mom's ankle swelled up like crazy, but we made it. We only spent 4 hours there because it was so dang crowded and we didn't plan ahead and couldn't even find a hotel anywhere near the park. We had to stay 2 hours away. But it was nice regardless, and now we learned that we need to plan in advance.
The wedding plans are still going. However I keep having people reschedule things with me. The florist and the seamstress both bailed on me twice, making my last few days off a scramble on tieing up loose ends. All the things I needed to get done are on a list and I have only been able to cross a few things off because of the rescheduling. Mom has turned into momzilla regarding the wedding and for some reason was mad at me for buying stuff regardless that she was with me and okayed the things I did buy. Nothing like mixed signals to really make this an enjoyable experience. The stress has finally started to sink in as the date gets closer. I think of all the weeks I did nothing about the wedding because I have so much time to do it.....gurrrrr.
The reply cards are still coming in and I am thrilled with all the family that is coming out! I just wish I had a huge mansion so I could have us all under one roof! I also wish I had lots of vacation time to hang out. Makes me think we should have gone for a summer wedding instead of a fall wedding regardless of how much rob and I like fall and Halloween, it would have been easier on everyone if we picked summer. Hind sight is always 20/20.
Rob and I did manage to make it down to Oakland to get our marriage license at least. Granted it was in the middle of another water heater melt down we still managed to get there and get the license before the parts or the plumber showed up.
We recently found out that Rob's dad can't make it due to his heart, travel isn't a good idea. Rob's step dad can't make it to the wedding because he is in the middle of selling his house. Rob's twin brother had the money to make it to be his best man but blew it on a new flat screen t.v. so chances are he wont make it for the wedding ether. Poor Rob has no best man. The only thing we could come up with is my dad being his best man and my mom walking me down the isle, since he doesn't know any one else to stand in for him. He can't ask his co-workers because they are covering his shifts while he gets married. Sheesh. So I may have a spare booger green tie if anyone wants one...
We still have tons of things to do, and the wedding account is slowly draining, we have almost paid off the photo guy and almost paid off the florist lady. But Ashley still doesn't have a dress and Karen still hasn't picked her dress up from the dress shop. ugghhhh I will be so glad when this is all over. I just want to go back to normal. Normal is in a world non bridal, where green is green, not clover, sage, shamrock, Kelly, emerald, jade or spring. It's just plain green. I miss that world.
