She found a good flight from Texas to stay with Brit in Omaha and so last minute I decided to travel to see her and Brit. I somehow even convinced Steph to drive down from Chicago and come to Omaha with me.. and she came! It was so nice to have the girls back together, we were missing a few but it was still like old times which I miss very much. I think the best part of the night was when Haileigh tried her bartending skills out in what was an attempt to get the lime to go to the bottom. She stuck her thumb in Steph's Corona, turned it upside down and (oblivious to our objections) turned it back right side up and it squirted pretty much all over us. The tables near us gave us a couple of cheers and claps :) Ryan was stuck at home but that wasn't a problem, it was Starz preview weekend and NCAA bball tourney time. So if you know him at all you know he was set. Steph and I came back Saturday because I had Carey's wedding shower to go to. It was a nice shower and she got some neat things from Pampered Chef.. I can't wait for my showers! I think they're so cute. The decorations and everything. Just too cute :) Then we headed to Hickory Park for supper with Ryan's Grandpa and Grandma Petersen and it was delish. We're actually planning on Hickory Park catering our rehearsal dinner.
But the best news of all - we FINALLY got our Save the Dates in the mail and I think people should see them starting tomorrow! I am so glad we're having someone do our invites for us because stuffing the envelopes, label, stamp, seal, label... is not fun. It was much easier than writing them out but I got so bored.
Oh and how annoying was this: Yesterday we got home from work (we both left at 3 because we didn't feel good) and every single fire alarm in our house was going off. All 6 of them. We tried to follow instructions and press the stupid button that says "Press to hush" and there was no hushing. So we were both running around like newbie homeowners.. "What the hell do we do?" Taking the batteries out didn't work because they're all hard wired together.. So Ryan was on the phone with our builder and I was running around just disconnecting all but 2 of them from the wires when all of the sudden they just stop. No reason why.. they just stop. For about 2 minutes... and then they're back. We just wanted to chuck them into the street! It was straight out of a scene of Friends: "The One Where They're Up All Night."
A Disembodied Voice: (yelling through the door) Phoebe Buffay?!
Phoebe: (scared) Fire alarm? (She opens the door to reveal a
fireman holding the blanket with the smoke detector.) Oh!
Hi, officer...fireman, can-can I help you?
The Fireman: We found your fire alarm in the trash chute.
Phoebe: That’s not mine.
The Fireman: Yes it is.
Phoebe: How do you know?
The Fireman: The next time you want to dump a fire alarm in a trash
chute, don’t wrap it in a blanket that says, "Property
of Phoebe Buffay not Monica."
