Weddings....

I’m off tomorrow and Monday. We are going to Fernie, BC to go camping with a little extra special occasion thrown in for tomorrow. Originally, I had booked three nights at this very lovely campground outside of this lovely mountain town.  Then a couple of weeks ago, when we were camping and Mr. Sandra’s son and fiancé came to camp with us, things changed a bit.

 

Mr. Almost Step Son asked his GF to marry him on Christmas day. They are very much in love these two. She is however from Japan and was here on a working Visa and is now on a 3 month visa (can’t remember what type). Her current visa is so that they can get through the paperwork for her to permanently stay here and they marry. Part of the visa application is to prove that you are actually a couple. Pictures, letters from us, that sort of thing. They came with us to Mazatlan in May and called that their honeymoon.

 

Well her father is here until Saturday and he wanted to see them marry, so while were camping, they picked a date. That date is tomorrow.

 

So I’m taking off another day of work, getting up early tomorrow morning, picking up our trailer, and heading out for a lovely 3.5 hour drive. It truly is wonderful country to drive through and very pretty. They are having it in their backyard and I know it will be one big party. I’m looking forward to it. We will be doing lots of fishing if the rivers and creeks are normal. One of them includes a 5K walk down to it, then 5K back up the hill at the end of the day. I remember the first time I did that walk and coming backup, in waders and boots that were too big, well let’s just say it was very difficult for me. The smokers did better than I did. This time, I think it will be different J

 

Next weekend is my Step-Daughter’s wedding. I’ve talked about this one before. Her father didn’t want me to go to the reception in case he got drunk and said something nasty to me (you would think he is 16?).  So I had decided awhile back that I would be the better person, make sure her day goes smoothly, and only attend the wedding. It truly sucks to not share the entire day with her and she is upset about it as much as I am. In fact the groom’s family is as well. But I know her father (and so does she) and he is stubborn, pigheaded and will pout the entire time if I am there. I don’t want anything to mar her day.  I have to admit, I am nervous about just seeing him at the wedding. If he does say something, I have to be strong and just walk away. Unfortunately that will feed him the anger he likes but I will not ruin her day by commenting back…. Other than a polite “this is her day, let it go”.

 

I know way back when – probably January, I was hoping to be rockin HOT by this time so that I could shove his “fat pig” comment back in his face, but alas, I’ve obviously not tried to lose weight for the right reason as that motivation did not work. See it doesn’t work if you try to do it for someone else, it must be for YOU!!

 

Don’t get me wrong, I am going to look good, I’ve lost a ton of weight since he last saw me, but I just wanted to be a bit lighter. Oh life!

 

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend, I won’t be back online until next Monday.
