All last week, I knew that Sunday was going to be a test of my patience. Sunday consisted of 1) taking senior photos in the morning in Ethel, which is 60 miles south of where I live, at a dairy farm. 2) My cousin-in-law's 30th birthday at 3pm and 3) a pumpkin party at J's co-worker's house in Buckley, about 45 mins from where we live. So, a lot of driving around, dealing with family, and dealing with people I don't know.
The pictures weren't too bad, the worst part was just how stinky the place was. The pictures had the nice rustic, farm look, which I don't usually get to capture, so that was nice.
The party was supposed to be "low-key" and yeah, it wasn't. The entire family was there, which is fine, but overwhelming. Oh, so side story-my sister-in-laws and I were all trying this new way of curling our hair without heat, and it actually turns out pretty cute. We told my mother in law about it, and yesterday she had run into Kelly at the store. At the birthday party, me, Jen, and my mother-in-law were sitting together (kelly didn't go), and my mother in law says, "oh! I saw Kelly at the store today and that no-heat curl looks really good on her! She has the perfect hair for it, just like you." She was looking at Jenn. Not really sure why she said that but it kind of hurt my feelings. I'm sure she didn't mean for it to be rude and I'm sure she thought it was cute on me too....but come on, think about what you say!
The pumpkin party was great! We didn't know anybody else but J's co-worker, but they were fun people. We had cider, carved pumpkins, and had a ping pong tournament. I beat J. ;) it was good times, and I really think they'll become some good friends of ours. We get along really well and they were already talking about having us over for Christmas. :)
So all in all, I held it together. At least the pumpkin party was the last of it. But I was super extremely tired when I got home! Here is to less stress!
