June was quite the month, well it isn't even over. The month started with birthday dinner for Joel and I...it seems that it was a crazy day but I cannot recall why at this point, should have written then. Anyway, I prepared to head to Nebraska/South Dakota with Ashley and Amanda for David and Emily's wedding. It was so awesome. We drove 15+ hours and arrived at the address we had for the hotel and it was an awning with a door and a couple of doors up some steps but nothing looked like was a hotel/no desk/room numbers that we could see etc. So I call the number I had for the hotel and they laughed, yes, we were in right spot, just head up the stairs and punch in the code...umm, what code? more laughter, and then she told me the code. Room was fun. When you walk in there is an antique desk to left of door, a round table and old fashioned lace cloth and lamp, day bed to right of door on wall, then same wall was fridge, microwave, wire rack with china etc. then cute bathroom with pedestal sink and tub with rounded edges where it was not against wall. Then in bedroom was a huge bed that was the most comfortable thing I have ever in my life encountered. An old fashioned dresser with mirror, stand alone full length mirror that was beautiful, a lattice screen with shelves etc behind it for dressing area, and then a tiled raised area with HUGE claw foot tub for two...was a little weird for my daughters and I lol. We got Burger King and went to bed. The next day Michele arrived and we went to help unload cars and start decorating. We decorated for several hours - 5 or 6 - then we went with Michele to Mexican restaurant and then shopping at WalMart. Then back to hotel. The following day we started off by decorating reception hall again, then headed to golf course club house to decorate for grooms dinner, then to church to decorate. After all day of decorating we ran home to change and headed back for rehearsal. We were all fine until David wiped his cheek after Emily walked towards him, oh my gosh, we all lost it, mildly. So sweet. Emily and her bridesmaids were all dressed so nicely and all of the groomsmen were in jeans etc. was funny. Then we went to the grooms dinner and David gave a very sweet talk and they handed out gifts. Then we ate dinner and dessert, and dismantled the decorations, and headed home to hotel in South Dakota - hotel and reception in South Dakota, grooms dinner and wedding in Nebraska. Then Sat we woke up and headed to wedding which was absolutely beautiful and amazing. David was crying as he led mom and dad up aisle and gave them a hug, then he cried while Emily came up the aisle, red eyes and discreet wiping, then both he and Emily had shaky voices as they said their vows. Then we left the church in rows and when it was almost empty we headed to front to dismantle the decorations there. We finished before David and Emily went out to limo. Amazing how many hours it takes to put it up and how little time to take down, reminds me of Thanksgiving dinner that takes so long to make/prepare and how 20 minutes later everyone is full and gone. Anyway, then we headed to reception and had such a nice time. Dinner/Dessert etc then dances/cutting of cake etc etc etc and then Ash Manda and I headed back to hotel for a while. We went back a couple of times to see what was going on and then about 11:45 we went back and started taking down lobby decorations. Michele came back about midnight and we all started going full steam as everyone started to leave. We worked around several but they had migrated down towards bar and stayed on dance floor. So with all of us working it was not bad. Home in bed by 2. Then we woke up and headed to Michele and Dougs hotel room where everyone gathered for gift opening and lunch. We watched the gift opening and then said our goodbyes. Hit Wendys and hit the road. I drove until it was dark and then Ashley took over. got home safely and was very glad to get out of car!! Then Ash and I returned the rental car the next day and just took it easy. That evening I received an email from Candy that her son was missing and that a dead body was found in the vehicle him and step brother were driving. Next couple of days I kept in touch and on Wednesday, 2 days later, they confirmed that the body was her son Steven. I could not believe it. So I told my work that I had to head out again. I had Kim and Amanda take car up to Tom's as I did not want to spend money to rent one again but spent $362 to get it ready to go...ugh. Headed out Sat morn around 4 and arrived there around noon. Mom had flown in on Friday and Angie (my sister) was already there as was Tanya and Natasha (Candys daughters)  Candy Tanya Natasha and I then jumped back in car to go to LA where they found the vehicle. Candy wanted to put flowers, candles, and card there. Stevens half sisters went and added more flowers etc later. Later that night mom and I did some shopping, filled my car up with gas and I got a hotel room. Sunday we did...I don't know what. Pretty much Sunday and Monday we were copying pictures, painting items, getting flowers and items ready to go to funeral. Tues night George Tanya Sage (Tanyas son) and I went to LAX to pick up Michele. then on Wed we drove to Big Bear/Running Springs for funeral. Thursday we just shopped etc. trying to keep Candy busy. Michele mom and I went to Angies and went thru items to load my car with. Candy Tanya and Natasha arrived several hours later and we went out to eat then swam in pool/jacuzzi at Angies. Then on Friday we went to Newport Beach where we all proceeded to burn although Michele and I were lobsters. Michele and I went back to hotel and got cleaned up, shopped and got pizza for dinner. Sat morn we had talked about going to Catalina but Michele was way hurting so we just hung at Candys, cleaned out her fridge and then Angie came out to eat KFC.. Then I headed out to dads house. I know way to dads but was tired so decided to let GPS do work and got a little lost. They wanted me to turn up road that did not look good so I passed it but because I did not think for myself I was turned around and so did U Turn and turned on road but literally stopped after 2 feet and decided not to chance it, but was stuck. After going forward and backward I got out but had ripped off 2 huge plastic deals that protect under carriage and my bumper was hanging down on both sides! So I called dad, he came and put parts in his trunk and took my car to jerry to fix. Jerry lifted car and said no damage and re-connected the bumper for me so I could drive home. I was bawling because of emotions and how tired I was!! I was so upset. Had a short but nice visit with dad then set alarm for 3 but was up and out by time it went off and was gone by 3:15. Had uneventful drive home and I pray I do not have to get in car for long ride for a long long time. OK enough for tonight!!!!
