It was a long ride to get to the wedding, in some traffic. The boyfriend was very hungry and, well, he's cranky when he's hungry. Add in, I'm not good when I'm in a car for long periods of time. My max is about 45 minutes to an hour. SO after an hour in the car, he's looking on his phone trying to get me somewhere so he can get food. I don't know where I'm going and we are both pissy and snappy. After we hit a drive-through for him and were about to get to the wedding, we were both fine and things were good. I don't want to say it was a fight, cuz it really wasn't, but we were both PISSY, yelling and snapping. Almost funny if we weren't both so aggravated!
So we made it to the wedding and it was beautiful. She looked beautiful. COLD as hell for outdoor, long winded ceremony. No seating plan, so that was weird, and a TON of extra space. We ended up at a table with one other couple, a friend of the groom and his girlfriend. They weren't what I expected and really nice. She's a runner and I ended up giving her my email address in case she's interested in running the marathon. She's done a bunch of halfs already.
Dinner was good, but overall it was just different. Not like any other wedding I've been to, from the ceremony to the whole reception. Just very different. I thought it would have been more traditional, just knowing her. But I think it made it almost better that it wasn't, since the boyfriend doesn't love weddings and all. Either way, we were back to his house around 11, so it wasn't too much of a late night.
I got some great pictures from the wedding and finally uploaded a few others from this month too.

And no wedding is complete without a picture of the wedding slut... please note the beer bottle, neck tie and dress so short I'm sure people caught views they shouldn't have at a wedding!
Other pics that were still on my camera for the first half of September were....
When my mom had everyone at her house when my cousin was in town & for all the birthdays.... This is me with Sammy, how cute is she?? :)
Here are pics of me with my cousin Jen and with my cousin Lisa
Then Uncle Joe with his granddaughters doll. LOVE this picture!
The last pics I had on my camera were from the night of my birthday, after dinner out and several glasses of wine with my boyfriend. I really like these pictures of us.
With all of that, and going through all the pictures again, September is turning out to be a great month. Work is the same. All that bs is there and I'm just trying to not let it effect any other areas in my life. I'm really grateful that so many things are going as well as they are in the other areas of my life. My friends are great. My family relationships are great. My boyfriend is amazing. I'm figuring out what I want to do with my future. I'm just happy. Its kind of nice!
Last night after we were back from the wedding and in bed, I had one of the best and most open conversations with my boyfriend that we've ever had. Actually, we had another one earlier, before the wedding too. He opened up to me in ways that he hasn't before and it was really nice.
I know he was really messed up after his last relationship. I get that. It was four years of his life with someone he loved, someone he was going to marry. And it didn't work out. I get that he had a hard time with that. I keep letting him know I'm happy with how things are and where we are at. After he opened up more last night, I told him that again. I said I don't want to put any pressure on him for anything and reminded him that he knows how I feel and that I'm here. It was just nice to hear him open up like that.
Things with this are great for me. It is going at the right pace and I'm with the right person for me.
