The Last 6 Days Before the Wedding...Day 2

Day 1

(I forgot to mention in my post from yesterday that while I was getting into bed our last night in CA, I slammed the top of my foot into the corner of my dresser drawer. It hurt really bad. I woke up limping, but I think the adrenaline healed the rest.)

The day had finally come...we were leaving for MN! The week or two before this I had been sleeping well, but when I woke up in the morning, that was it. No more sleeping! As soon as my brain realized my eyes were open, it started spinning with lists upon lists! I was up and ready to start the day around 7AM. We had breakfast and finished packing. By 10:30 we were out the door and to the airport. I was really excited about our flight since my sister had upgraded us to 1st class! This was a first for me and I was pretty excited! We got to security and our carry-on bag (which was full of presents for everyone) got pulled to the side. I had packed this bag early in the week and couldn't figure out why they had pulled it. It was because of this...

It was for my personal attendant and one of the items listed on the outside of the package was a "cutter". Which I believe is the middle round thing on the bottom of the picture. Since neither Mr. 2SB, the TSA agent or I couldn't "find" the cutter, they let us through. Still trying to figure it all out, but whatever!

Once they announced that 1st class passengers could board, we went on! We found our seats and got comfy and started to drink! We weren't necessarily trying to get drunk, just taking the edge off! We both started with a bloody mary (which was mostly vodka). Once we were in the air we both got a Mojito, which was even stronger than the 1st drink. Mr. 2SB had one more drink after lunch (I had a greek chicken salad and he had a rueben sandwhich). He took a nap and I started watching Bride Wars.

We landed and since we were in 1st Class our luggage was priority so it came out right away! That might have been the best part of flying that way and not paying for luggage helped too! My sister/MOH picked us up. We grabbed some dinner and headed to her house for the night.

She had called earlier in the week and wanted to do a make-up trial since she wouldn't be in our hometown until Wednesday night. She did a fantastic job and we were done in a lot less time then we figured...which always helps! We tried to go to bed early 10:30 CST which was 8:30 for us. We tossed and turned a lot, but eventually made it to sleep!

Our plan for the next day was: get a rental car, drive to my hometown (only an hour), my dress fitting & meet with the reception site to settle the bill. Which will be in tomorrows post! Do you think we stuck to the plan?

Since this post was a complete bore...here's another teaser picture from our lovely photographers!
