"Where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain!" Did you sing it when you saw the title? You know you did. If you didn't I'm assuming you've never seen the movie or play, which in that case is un-American and you should be ashamed. It's fantastic. And I feel bad for you if you've never seen it. Really, go rent it. You won't be sorry. I just love old movies. Well, that's right folks. We're going to Oklahoma tomorrow for Chris (Waugh) and Gena's wedding! I'm super excited, I just love weddings. Dancing and hanging out with friends you never get to see PLUS an excuse to dress up? Yes please. The wedding festivities are beginning at 4pm and I'm thinking probably won't go later than 8 or 9pm. Mr. Fulmer's informed me there are casinos in the area and we have a few good couple friends that are going to be staying the night in ole OK after the wedding as well so I'm thinking that's where we may end up. I'm all about some slot machines. Mainly because I don't have to think and the fate of my winning is not in my hands. My mom took me on a trip to Atlantis when I graduated from BU and I won $500 on the slot machine. Thankfully (ha. thankfully? right. I can feel my husband's eyes rolling) there was a Gucci store (tax-free!) IN the hotel so I walked my happy, lucky self right in there and got a purse with my winnings. I feel like it was a good investment. Then, on Sunday we are going to get up bright and early, and head to ...
Matt travels to Arkansas every year for business. He has a big client up there and he spends 2 to 3 months (home on weekends people, it's okay, don't cry for me Argentina) out of the year having to go to Conway, AR for their audit. He's been doing this every year since we've been married and I'm completely used to it, but I've always wanted to know what this place looks like that he has to go to every year. I'm weird and just like to have a visual. So then I can picture him when he whisks away every Monday returning on Friday, in the little town of Conway, along with what the restaurants and hotel he stays at look like. Then it won't feel like he's in this magical made up place in my head that looks somewhat like a cross between a desert and Disney World mixed with a bunch of hillbillies (sorry if you're from AR) running to and fro. PLUS on top of him working there, my sweet Mr. was born there! Well not in Conway, but in Little Rock, so we're going to go see the house he grew up in, the school he went to, the hospital he was born in and eat somewhere for lunch that's authentic to Arkasas. I'm SO excited for a mini road trip with my love. They are always so much fun. It should be a fun-filled weekend. Oh, don't you worry, I am sure there will be 842 pictures. Much to my husband's despise. It's okay, he's used to it ...
