Ok Well I guess I should post about the Wedding I went to last weekend. I had to get up early to get to the airport. Weird thing was they got this e ticket machine thing where you have to put a credit card in to get your boarding passes, so I fo you don't have any luggage that has to go under the plane you don't have to deal with anyone. Sounds fucked up. The flight to Houston was 2 hours and a half. Got breakfast on the plane it was some sort of cereal and a banana. It was pretty darn good for airplane meal. Then once I got to Houston had to immediately go to my next plane to fly onto San Antonio. It was about a 30 minute flight. Soon as we got our drinks they had to pick them up. So that sort of sucked. Then I was stuck at the airport waiting for a couple of hours for my mom and sis to get there. So I got some MCDonald's while I was waiting. Thought about getting some alcoholic beverage but passed on it. So I waited and when it was time for my mom and sis to be there i didn't see them. turns out there flight cam into the other terminal. So I had to walk all the way over to the other terminal to get them.
Then we get our rental car and head off to the hotel we were staying at. We of course got lost because that seems to be what happens on trips and especially in San Antonio. We get there and have to use the valet parking for the hotel cause this is an upscale hotel, which happens to be where the reception for the wedding is to be held figured we stay there so we wouldn't be totally lost.
The hotel is a very nice hotel and historic apparently. John Wayne stayed there along with some other celebrities. It was interesting reading the various things that said who had stayed there. We get our keys to the room and it's on the 8 floor. The room was really cool and the beds were a nice change from the stupid dorm beds.
We went to dinner in the restaurant in the hotel and I had the chicken like my sister. It was really good. The waitress took half off our meal. It was 50 dollars the lady went and took off hlalf and it was only 25 dollars. How cool is that. Nice dinner for 3 people only being 25 that's cool. I was totally full from dinner and very tired from the flight and the fact that I've not gotten much sleep lately. So we got back to the room i bundled up and conked out. It was great getting to go to bed at reasonable time. Plus not having someone get on my throat for doing so.
Next morning had to wake up early to get ready for the wedding that started at 1. Got up took a shower and went down to breakfast where service was slower then hell. Took forever to get someone to wait on us. When finally did the food didn't end up being as good as it should, but it was ok. At least I got some strawberries. That was great. The bacon was pretty good and when the biscuits were just brought out they were good.
Then we went back to the room and got our jackets and changed completely into the clothes we all were going to wear for the wedding.
We get down to wait for our car and it was cold and misting. So I was super duper glad my mom brought my letterman's jacket. So I was good to go while I was waiting for the car to come. Car comes and of course driving to the church we get lost, but we find out way. Get to the church and there is no parking so we have to go around and low and behold we go by the Alamo. Not that exciting of a place. Then we find a parking lot and park in it. It's the el crapo parking lot but oh well. we then walk a couple of blocks to the church and when we get there they are still having a church service going on. That was weird. So we went over to the mall and looked around and sat. IT was an interesting mall, but I've seen a lot of malls lately so that's probably why I wasn't too into it.
Then at about 15 minutes or so before the start of the wedding and the service was still not over. Then 10 minutes till the people from the service finally started to leave. The church was catholic church that was originally a church for the Germans. It's consider a historic site. It was an interesting looking church. It had depicitions of Jesus dying in the mother mary's arm. That freaked me out a bit. Then we sat down.
Finally Robert came he sat and talked about how he was finally graduating community college this spring. Telling use how he was going to quit Prie Chopper and get a job at a restaraunt and go back to CMSU. He had no clue what all was going on with this wedding. Then he was told to sit in the front. Which then he dragged me up there. So I sat in the front for the wedding with him and his parents. The wedding was very catholic. Lots of things were going on that I had never heard before. Robert was confused as I was. After the long wedding or at least what seemed long they took pictures for a while. Then the bride and groom left in a horse drawn carriage to the reception.
We then left to go to the car to get back for the reception. We drove my sister's friend Heather over to the reception also. She has changed since the last time I'd seen her, but that was a long while ago. We of course got lost again getting back to hotel for the reception. However, we managed to get back. Then I went back to the room to go to the bathroom and I came back down and went into the reception. I sat and waited with my family at a table near the bride and groom. Finally after 30 minutes Robert and his family showed up. Robert sat with us instead of his family. He put like 3 packets of sugar in his ice tea. Talk about artificial sweetner. Then we realize that the food for the reception is a Mexican buffet. Ugh not my choice of meals. Oh well I wasn't paying for it. Then they announce that the bar will be open for an hour before it comes a cash bar. Then Robert and I rush over there and get some alcohol. Me a bud, he a miller lite. It was weird seeing him drink and it was weird for my mom and sister and his sisters seeing me drink. The food was ok, but Robert said the enchiladas were horrible. Only thing real good was the chips and the fajitas.
After everyone was finished with dinner there was dancing. Not big on the dancing I showed Robert our hotel room and we looked at the gift shop. IT was great just having a convo with Robert again. Found out that Shawn Heator whom I went to HS with and went to my SR homecoming with has a kid and not by choice. That's what he gets for being the ass he was to me near the end of my SR year. That's all I heard about concerning people I use to know in HS. Most of our conversations were about getting out of school and how we were looking forward to it. It was great hearing someone actually happy and not complaining.
Then after hours of watching everyone dance we left to the room. Went to bed at 10 because had to get up at 6 to go to the airport for my 8 am flight. Then got up at 6 am and we went down stairs got the car and headed to the airport. We turned in the car and waited for the bus to take us back to the airport. . We get there and wait an hour then i head to the security check area and my mom and sis leave to go to their terminal. I get on the plane and do some homework. The flight from San Antonio to Houston was short but very bumpy. Then had a little break for an hour in Houston.
Then finally got on the plane in Houston for the lovely 3 and half hour flight. Dang that flight was long and very boring. My cd players batteries died like 10 minutes into the flight after they allowed electronic devices to be used. So I ended up listening to the station on the airplane. It was ok. Had the hardest time trying to get sleep on that flight. The meal on this flight was roast beef sandwich melted cheese and ruffles chips and an apple.
Finally after 3 hours and 30 minutes we get into the airport i get off the plane to look for my ride. I meet Nicole after I go down the escalator. I'd like to thank Nicole again for picking me up. I greatly appreciate it. We listen to some Used in her Chevy 2000 pickup truck. She's got a cool vehicle and cool taste in music. We chatted a bit in the car it was great to chat with another person about stuff.
I had her drop me off by Beckman because well I needed to type up Homework. So I typed up some homework, then went to dinner. Then I go back to my room. Which is then when I go to check my phone to see if there are any messages. That's when I realized that this roll of film I had finished and laid next to it the phone is gone. So obviously someone messed with that while I was gone. Then the next day when I go to eat my chips i had that were only half finished when I left were now like to the bottom with tiny crappy peices left. So obviously again someone must have eaten my chips. Guess my personal stuff is not safe to leave out at all. I'm still looking for the roll of film but yet to have found it. It has some good pictures on there and if I don't get it back I'm going to be majorly upset, because I think there might be some Amber pictures and some other pictures that mean a lot to me. You don't mess with my stuff and get away with it. I'm thoroughly upset and pissed beyond belief. Not a good thing.

So that's about everything in a nutshell for last weekend and part of this week.
