Hey, Mom! I hope you were there. I had to leave before the reception, but the ceremony was beautiful.
I tried to keep it together. I’ve never been a sap at weddings. Jennifer did a great job officiating. But her voice broke just once when she mentioned those who couldn’t be there for the occasion, and that was all it took for the dam to break. It was a sweet ceremony. They giggled as they said their vows, and Austin was ready to rush away with his new bride when all was said and done. I felt a little embarrassed of my tears, especially when it was the groom who came to console me. But I hate you got cheated out of the occasion. I know you would have loved to see him (despite the presence of your “enemy”). I did make a new friend. He didn’t say much, but he did a great job greeting the guests.
Cute pre-wedding story: I asked Ramsey if she wanted to come upstairs while I put on my makeup. She hurried upstairs and grabbed her little makeup case to do her own makeup. I even gave her a pencil for her brows and a nearly dried up mascara. She used her phone as a mirror to apply her makeup. It was so cute, and she had a blast getting ready with us.
Anyway, after the ceremony and some pictures, we rushed home to take Ramsey trick-or-treating and to get her ready for school tomorrow. We missed the reception, but Jennifer did share Jade’s and Winnie’s toasts.
So, for Halloween this year, Ramsey opted for witch as her costume.
It took a bit after we got home to get Ramsey ready for trick-or-treating, but she loved it. She sang Halloween songs the entire time, and she liked going to the houses. We opted to have Cliff drive the car to a couple of houses, and I would walk with Ramsey to all the surrounding houses. I’m happy she had such a wonderful time and that Cliff didn’t have to struggle with too much walking. It worked out well.
All right, Mom. It was quite an eventful day, so I’m going to get the Ramsey ready for bed. We love you lots. Days like this make it really evident how much I miss you.
Hey, Mom! How are you?
