dearly beloved, we are gathered here today....
So, my aunt is getting married tommorroww in St. Paul, and Rachel, Grandma, and i are driving there tommorroww afternoon. My original plan was to have dad pick me up Saturday morning, but grandma is worried i'll be late and/or tired, so now my mom's picking me up tonight. This is foolish because 1. Who does not realize that i tend to sleep less when in EC than in Madison? 2. i actually have things (plural! O stupid scheduling fate!) i really wanted to do here tonight, and my mother does not have sympathy for me, so she'll probably show up at seven; and 3. there is no 3, i'm just selfish.
In any case, i'll probably call EC people when i get there, or you can call me.
The wedding itself is pretty shady. My dad wasn't invited, nor was Steven, Debbie's closest brother by age and acquaintance. Steven is, apparently, quite bent out of shape about it, and i bet daddy and Steven spent lots of time debating Christian Ethics on long-distance phone lines. As for myself (and Rachel, s'pose) i'm not sure why we're going, except my curiousity is killing me. And hopefully, hopefully, the wee cousins Hannah & Rebecca will be there, i haven't seen them in three years and i've long had this idea that Hannah is also not-so-much-a-fool like the majority of our kin. They have much further to travel from, but of course, their Good Christian Father was invited and stuff.
The main thing on my curious mynd right now is: who is this man my aunt is marrying? You see, she's been the standard old maid aunt for my whole life, and i didn't even know she had a boyfriend much less a fiance (accent! how do i do you?!) until my grandma called over winter break; "I'm going to move to Eau Claire, Debbie's courting, I think it's best I moved to Eau Claire, I can't drive anymore, and you know, I can't drive anymore, so I think it's best if I move to Eau Claire...."
And Then! We talked about fruit in Michigan!
Just kidding....
Since i'm on the Silly Things That My Relatives Tell Me On The Phone subject, you'll never guess what my mom called me about this morning. At Six A.M.
[RGE, your guess doesn't count, especially if she did the same thing to you.]
Oh, Saturday night party plans: RR, we are not going to the bar. Sorry, hun, but i don't want to make the not-21s sadder zen neccessary.
