Side Note

So not a whole lot is going on. Relaxing from the wedding and trying to get back on track with my working out and eating right...easier said than done. Work is crazy tomorrow is my last day off for 9 days. We will be decorating trees each with a different theme so I will be done looking at Christmas before it even begins, and light riding is one of my favorite things to do. lol Something crazy happened last night and I am sure I am making a bigger deal out of it than it actually is, but it was creepy. I went to bed around midnight and was woken up at 2:30 with a phone call from a Restricted number. Here is the conversation.
Guy Voice- Ashley?
Me- Yes
Guy- Wassup?
Me- Who is this?
Guy- You know who this is.
Me- No, who is this
Guy- You know me.
Me- Hang up
He called back we had the same EXACT conversation and I hung up. He called back again and I ignore it and turned my phone off. I have no clue who it was or even why I hung up, normally I want to know who it is and what they want, but lets face it at 2;30 a.m its a good thing I know my name. It has bugged me all day really just kinda annoying I guess.
On another note I have had a great week with a few of my friends I went and saw Social Network which I was uncertain about but ended up being extremely funny and interesting. Last night I hung out with the kiddos and a friend came over and made a tent the size of our living room and we all watched Garfield the movie under it. Praise the lord for great times and good friends!!

Craziness Weekend ENDS!!

So this weekend was crazy busy, praise the lord I have a great boss. My day started Friday at 3:30 at the ATL airport picking up one of my cousins whose plane was oh an hour and a half late. Its all good though except that when she landed at 5:00 we had one hour to get to Macon to be on time for the wedding rehearsal. Being I was Maid of Honor and she was Wedding Coordinator we thought we should be on time at least lol. Well I am driving down 75 going about 80 ( which is rare for me) and we come to a dead halt....not looking good a semi and VW decided to play. We finally were moving again about 5:30 and I started going 85 and praying there were no cops. We made it to the rehearsal at 6:30 which was perfect bc they had just finished unloading the car and arranging the room for Sunday. From rehearsal we went to dinner at a Vietnamese restaurant which was amazing. Finally got to Paula's (my cousin) apartment and my sister says hey Ash where is the dress you brought for me to wear.....um about that its still hanging in my closet in Loganville. :/ I totally forgot her dress after she told me she was depending on me to bring it. Thankfully I am an over packer so she had 2 dresses to choose from and they were cute. We went to bed around 3 Saturday Morning woke up at 8 Saturday Morning to go get pampered. I was like we are waking up to go get pampered this doesn't make much sense in my head but I am here for the ride. Three hours later we leave the salon and go do more errands....did I mention there was a wedding today for the grooms sister. I think it is impolite to announce your wedding date as the 17th and your sister says well then I will do mine the 16th?!?!?!?! Girl you are crazy!! That means that not only do you have to postpone your honeymoon but that you also have to be IN another wedding the next day. I will say it was nice on the Grooms family who was in from out of town they could do both weddings in the same weekend. Saturday while Le Mai and John were at the other wedding the rest of us went to roll egg rolls!! If you don't know much about my family you know we are southern to the core but we have egg rolls at every major family get together. LOL Afterwards we went and met up with Bride to be and made sure she got plenty of rest. Sunday was our big day we started decorating about 9 and were done at Noon... the rest of the day leading up until showtime was filled with getting ready, photos, and making sure Le Mai ate. We start the wedding about 4:15 and everything goes as plans I help her circle the groom 7 times as its part of Jewish custom and take my place on stage. The rabbi starts and states " in a moment the couple will exchange VOWS"...Oh crap Le Mai had handed me her vows and I gave them to the Paula (the coordinator) who was suppose to hand it back to me walking down the aisle, but we both forgot. Looking panicked I turned and catch the attention of a cousin and tell her to get Paula..she breaks out her phone to text her when I see the photographers assistant. I get her attention and she comes over to me and I whisper to her the situation, she goes and gets the vows and hands them right to me. Praise God for photographers the only people allowed to get on and off the stage and not one person wonders why. Everything from there was perfect from the first dance until we sent them off under sparklers it was the perfect day for her. I finally made it back to Paula's place about 11:30 we soaked our feet as we had been in incredibly high heels for most of the day. The wedding and craziness was finally over and everyone was happy and good to go. I woke up Monday morning to leave Macon and come to work. I was so tired all day Monday but it was well worth it. During this weekend Stephen and Tabitha got married and my best bud Anil had his engagement party if I could have been 3 places and 2 states at once I would have, I may be dead today but I would have celebrated with everyone. :)

Just a Thought

So its been a while. I know. I know. Better later than never. I finally had a night tonight where I could come home catch up on everyone Else's blog and now write one of my on. A whole lot has happened in my life and a lot is still happening. I have learned a few lessons lately that I thought I would share, and you may already know this but its things I am figuring out now.

1) People don't really care, they do for a season or when its convenient but past that its all about them.

2) People are so desperate to get married they decide to lower there morals for a relationship that in the end or even from the beginning is doomed. The saying Having someone is better than no one needs to be compared to Having the wrong someone is worst than having no one.

3) People abuse niceness or think you want something more if you are just being nice.

4) Budget...its not that difficult and just bc someone else acts like they have a lot of money, you are better off looking out for you not trying to keep up with the Jones. Just bc someone acts like they have money doesn't mean they do. Credit cards do not mean you are good with money it means you are good at being in debt.
5) Read the fine print in EVERYTHING if its too good to be true it prob is.

6) Just be you... in the long run You are You have and its good enough... its the best.
