Going Back to Cali

So I am super excited because in just 3 days I am going to visit California. I never thought I would be so happy to go back so soon. But I miss my family and friends. Also, my sister both just finished their programs in school and are graduating. I want to celebrate with them.

Today I spent the day online talking with my mom and her friend about wedding plans. More specifically about centerpieces. It is crazy how something as simple as centerpieces for my simple backyard summer barbecue wedding can get so out of hand. I was trying to stay out of it all so that I don't get all stressed out if things don't go my way, but today I got involved. My best friend reminded me that I am super creative and I could find ways to decorate for cheap that would also be beautiful. She was right. I got online found options to make centerpieces for about $4 a table. And with my girlfriends and sisters, I have tons of help to knock out putting the pieces together in no time.

The whole experience got me pumped. I now know that I have to be a little more involved and I have to use my creative side to make things work the way I want and to lessen the stress on my Mommy.

All of a sudden, I am looking forward to my wedding the way I should have been the whole time.

I leave for California on Friday morning and my mom and I are going shopping for my dress and centerpieces and cake. I also have a bunch of hanging out to do with my sisters and girlfriends and my dad. I know this trip will be exhausting, but I can't wait. And I look forward to missing Juan while I am gone. This is all new to me, but so wonderful.
