Sooo I just got home from California on Monday! I was there for a whole freakin week and let me tell you that was probably the longest week of my life. I went up because i was a bridesmaid in one of my friends wedding. I had been dreading this trip for a long time. everything from the stupid dress i had to wear to having to go down and face my fear in the face by myself was crap i was going to have to deal with. I honestly didnt know how i would hold up with staying sober and how i would get the past to understand and appreciate the new and improved me. Well they dont get it. they never will. i did however stay sober. not one drink for me. All i did was hold and make drinks for everyone. It was hard. but i think the hardest thing was realzing that these guys were never really my friends. but whatev. i was super thankful for my cellphone and my friend collette who called and texted me through the whole week to make sure i was okay! well here are some of the pictures from the cali adventure
our Wii batchlorette Party- Ashley is on the left of me (she was the bride) and Amanda on the right... Game faces girls! this was one intense nite of boxing, bowling, tennis, and baseball~

Smile Pretty

Me, and Ash. she was basically plastered. its kinda sad acutally

Random Faces!!

Kay so here is when the whole wedding day became an adventure. Ashley was the worst Bridezilla we had ever seen. freaking out about anything and everything. SOOOO her mom gave us a Valium and told us to do as we pleased... sooo in the Limo on the way to winery (were the wedding was held) we crushed that puppy up and put it in her champagne! :D she never saw it coming.
Me and Mandi

Ashley, poor bride. she really needed our help i promise

hehehe Amanda and i handing out champagne to the fellow riders... and sneaking valium into the drink! :D cheers to being sneaky!!

Yeah, well we got bored with waiting so we were taking picutures of ourselves

Soo instead of drinking alohcol like 99 percent of the groupe there i was stinkin to Mt. Dew and H20!!!

Amanda, The mother of the bride and myself... dont mind them they were slightly intoxicated

the bride and us... notice how much happier she is now!

me and the stupid dress. i still hate it.

this was like half way through nite and i was basically tired, and annoyed, and just kinda over it... you cant tell that im annoyed can u ;)

Me, Mandi and Lito- this guy was like all up in my personal space all freakin nite long. it was a long uncomforatable nite.

H2O baby






So yeah, i made it thru alive. there were all sorts of weird things that went down with this wedding. and it made me realize that "till death do you part" is the saddest thing i have ever heard anyone ever agree to.
i so am digging the "for time and all eternity" sooo much more.
I learned alot about myself and where i stand with myself in life. but yeah...

Good job Kels! I know that took a lot of discipline. I remember when I changed my life I would watch all of my friends and what used to be so appealing to me was so sad and just not what I wanted.
I am glad you stuck to your guns! GOOD GIRL!
Your last part made me get a little teary. Isn't that the truest thing ever said?! No wonder people don't value marriage so much. There is a Country song I heard the other day where the guy was singing this great love song and said something like, I am going to love you until the day I get to the gates of heaven. Then what....you'll just stop cause that's what you have to do. Oh if they only knew! :)
Good for you! I'm proud.
period
