Go ahead and TRY

Ok so before I give you the story on the wedding....look at my ugly dog. UGH! Harley has always been the cutest little puppy you ever saw. I cuddle with her and love her and play with her and treat her like a child. I hate getting her trimmed because I love her fluffiness! So usually I don't love her for like a week after I get her trimmed....Chance says I don't have unconditional love or something like that;) ANYWAY...it's summer now and Harley gets so hot with all her fluff, and with long hair she gets matted really easily if she isn't brushed constantly, which of course I don't brush her every day....so she got so matted up that I told the groomer to just shave her! I AM CRAZY! The poor thing looks like a mix between a rat and a small greyhound. I am REALLY hoping she grows her hair out soon because I can't even snuggle with her! So I debated even putting these up, because I hate her right now, but I need to document it so Chance will know I still love her.
After a few months of having Harley:


And even fluffier:


And now here is Harley......


poor girl....

Ok so that was that. You won't believe what happened with a wedding package! The shortest I can make it is that you all know I have bought pretty much everything for my wedding on Etsy. So we are doing a lot of online buying and shipping. We always ship it to my house, just because it is easier than getting it at Chance's apartment. Well we use PayPal on Etsy, but get this....Chance's old address (in Salina, KS...where he attended college) is always marked as the default address. Why we haven't changed that yet...I don't know. Well I always just change it to ship to my house, but we had been doing a lot of buying online pretty late at night...and we somehow didn't change the address of shipping when we bought our garlands. Ya.

I got these gorgeous garlands designed by an Etsy lady who let me pick all the colors and patterns and then she cut paper circles and sewed them all together to decorate my reception with. She sent me a tracking number on the package and yesterday I was sitting at work and thought, oh..I'll check on my garlands. Yup...they had been delivered the day BEFORE to Salina, KS. Drat. I called the apartment office that he used to live at and the lady was soooo not helpful and told me I should just contact the postal service. I'm like...ya...cuz that's gonna get me my garlands soon. I asked VERY nicely if she could contact the residents of his old apartment and just see if they had received it or thrown it out or what. She said uh yaaaa sure. And then tried to get off the phone. I said, Ummm would you like my contact information to get back to me on that? Oh ya...sure. SOOOO Katie got a little angry and realized it was time to solve this little mystery myself.

Chance got off work and I said, go change...we are driving to Salina. I explained what happened and we jumped in the car and drove 1.5 hours to Salina KS. Which was weird because neither of us have been back to Salina since he lived there a year ago. We got to the apartment and I went to his old door and knocked. A young single mom about my age answered the door barely through the crack and I explained to her what happened. She told me she HAD gotten a weird package yesterday and she still had it in her mailbox! AHHHHH! I was screaming inside. She nicely walked me to the mailboxes and we got the package! GOOD AS NEW! I thanked her A LOT and told her I was sooo thankful she hadn't thrown it out. All my garlands were safe and sound. Here are a couple pics of our confused slash so happy to have the package at his old apartments. And of course a kiss for happiness!






So that was yesterday. We went to Red Lobster to celebrate...because well...if you're in Salina....that's the fancy place to go;) I gave him a straw ring and asked him to still marry me in Red Lobster. He said "Are you really doing this in Red Lobster?" I was like "What....isn't this the fancy place you go to get engaged???"


We had a good time...since no one had to get confronted by me and we got our package. All ended well. I told Chance NO ONE can mess with my wedding. Just TRY and ship my stuff to other places. Next challenge please!
