Heading out tomorrow,
 

Well tomorrow is the day.

Got a surprise when I returned home tonight.

Still thinking I was the only one going to the wedding.
I had quite trying to talk anyone in changing their
mind. It wasn't worth it. But tonight when I get
home from my massage.

Which left me sore.

I got the news, Derrick has decided he is going.
Seems he took a poll at school of his high school
friends. Or at least part of them.
They believed he should go.
Then when they didn't think they were getting anywhere.
They took the cause to his aide.

She told him to go.
That he could do his homework assignment
anywhere. Which as it is.

Its going to be easier to do it there. Its a moonlight.

Or is it 8, so . And were better than at the beach and stuff.

So I'm so happy I don't have to go by my self.

Donna:grouphug:

I am happy for you that you are not going by yourself!!!!!
bizi:hug:

Yay !!! :D

You 2 enjoy your time !!!

Have a slice of weeding cake in my name !!! :)

Dear Donna

i'm glad Derrick has decided to go with you ;) I know you appreciate that.

Hope you both enjoy it... well, i pretty well know you will. So i especially hope Derrick gets a positive surprise seeing how you mentioned he "wasn't into weddings."

Take care and check in when you can or when you get back.

Yea, I was hoping that Derrik would change his mind. That is going to be a wonderful time for you both.
di:grouphug:

I'm honestly not sure what made him ask his friends. And I have
to admit it wasn't the girls he asked. I think he knew the girls would
give him yes, you should go.

But the guys, the ones that are even more shy than him. Heehee.

And he was telling me the responses. And it was kind of nice, to hear
what a couple of them said.

But most probably just thought getting out of school was a good idea.

Donna:grouphug:

Nahhhh.... i say he did it for you
 

Dear Donna,

i think it stuck with him that you wanted company and didn't have any. and wanted you to have some even though maybe it wasn't his favorite thing to do. And maybe he felt uncertain about whether it would make much of a difference or not, and so he asked his buds.

I think the choice was out of sense of loyalty and support. That he was torn between doing his own thing knowing mom would be "ok" after all, or going with mom out of sense of love for you and loyalty, knowing you'd be more than ok and enjoy yourself more with him along.

I believe it is a gift to you Donna.

and then, getting out of school... is just a perk.

those are my thoughts. :) :heartthrob:

Thanks Waves.

You are probably right.

Whatever, its sure a blessing.

And when I got to Holland, MI and got lost for about 1 hour.

I sure really enjoyed having him.

Donna:grouphug:

Have a wonderful time. :hug:

Just noticed.......
YES That temp in my siggie is saying 40*'s....dang it was 80* yesterday

oh gosh... yes, getting lost in an unknown area and being alone sucks. i am super glad Derrick was there!

Enjoy the wedding! :grouphug:

The wedding was okay. I really am not sure what I was expecting so.

It was just not anything special to me. Just so glad it wasn't as windy
as the day before. They had 5 ft winds at this beach the day before.

We had a reception dinner. And then went back to the hotel. The food
was pretty good, I had a bad stomach, so didn't eat much.

No cake for me. But Derrick had some.

Later when I was saying I'd wished I'd thought to take apiece for later,
he mentioned it had strawberries in it. Ugh, no thanks.

What ever happened to just cake.

Donna:grouphug:

home is good
 

Dear Donna,
I'm glad that you are home safe.

I agree with you about the strawberries in cake. Those two should stay separate.

how did derrick do?

((((( Welcome back, Donna! )))))

i've missed you.

sounds almost like the wedding was a bit blah for you. i too am curious as to how Derrick found it. I am glad you were not alone though.

and, at least, you did not have to keep house for a few days, right? ;)

and yet.... do i .... sense some sort of... ? relief? ... that it is behind you?

maybe i am projecting: when i have to put effort into a something with big hype, regardless how it turns out, but especially if it is only semi-kinda-okay, i am invariably relieved to be home. just wondering.

well, i am certainly glad you made it safe through the trip and happy to have you back here with us. :hug::hug::hug:

Yep, to me it wasn't exactly a wedding. It wasn't what I'm used to.

And I didn't care much for the reception, I would have liked it much more,
if there had been the usual dancing, and things. I missed the dance with the bride and groom. And the Father and bride and things like that.

Also I just wasn't feeling as well so. And Derrick seemed to have a great
time. He got to spend some time with his cousins, and that was great.:grouphug:

Donna

glad that at least he had a good time and to think he wasn't going to go.
wish you felt better.
((((HUGS))))

Just realized when Kay was talking about balance issues.

I was so glad even more to have Derrick at the Wedding.

When standing in the receiving line in the sand.
When I almost fell, he grabbed me. Not that my brother-in-law
and a couple others didn't come to the rescue or try too.

But my son is always my first hero.

Now were do I nominate him for the hero award.

Donna:grouphug:

what a great guy!:)

Dear Donna,

wow it sounds like you were disappointed on many counts with the wedding. i'm sorry about that. :(

i am glad that Derrick had a good time, at least.

and that he was there to be your hero...

... for Derrick the Champ: :winner_first_h4h:
