Muncie, IN (08-06-11)

    Busy, Busy, Busy. 
        Paul and I hardly had time to settle into our new home before we moved our daughter into the trailer with us. We spent last weekend moving her out of her apartment and into the trailer.  I must say, we all did a great job of fitting all her stuff into every available nook and cranny!  We sorted through everything she owns and made separate piles for the trailer, Goodwill, and Storage.  Our original idea was to put her stuff to be stored in our storage unit in Michigan until the wedding, but in the end there was just a tad bit too much stuff to do that comfortably, so we got her a small unit of her own.  We had to scramble at the last minute because we were arriving in MI on Sunday and the office to the Storage place isn’t open.  They were nice enough to assign us a unit, unlock it, and let us fill out the paperwork for it on Monday morning.
    We dropped her belongings off and checked in to the hotel early Sunday evening.    Monday was doctor day.  Jess had her appointment in the morning, then we headed to my appointment in the afternoon.  After that we investigated florists and made a couple of appointments for early September, to make final decisions on flowers for the wedding.
     Tuesday was Jess’s dress fitting.  In the morning we went to the salon to get her make up done as she wants it done for the wedding, so when we went for the fitting, we had a better idea of the “whole picture”.   Marissa, one of her bridesmaids, was able to meet us at David’s Bridal, and Jess was really excited to have her girlfriend be there for the fun.  
       After another 4 hour drive, we were back in Muncie Tuesday evening, all of us pretty tired after a whirlwind 5 days.  Since then we’ve been getting settled, Jess has been working, and we are putting together the invitations, so they can go out in a few days.
