Long Night

Last night we went to Doug's uncle's 50th birthday party. We didn't know half the people there...well, I didn't know 3/4 of the people there, Doug did know some of them. And we even had total strangers asking us when we were getting married. Someone mistook me for Doug's wife and when he corrected them (ever so quickly), they said "well, she's pretty cute, don't you think you should do something about it?" Granted, I think it was the lady who was hosting the party, but still.

Then I made the mistake of talking to Doug's mom about who Kaden looked like. I was wrong again there. And she's so short with me when she tells me. Like there is no possible way this child could look like anyone other than who she says. I know it's a silly thing, but it makes me crazy. I think we've had that conversation at least 3 times now (you'd think I'd give it up already) and every time I end up feeling like an idiot. Is that what I have to look forward to in a mother-in-law? I told Doug that I hope our kids look very obviously like one of us and that there won't be any inbetween about it.

Then I had the pleasure of talking to Doug's cousin and his wife. I like his wife. She's the sweetest thing. His cousin on the other hand, is a pompous ass. Things were going okay, until he started telling us how we should go about getting our mortgage (we didn't ask for your help or your opinion) and then he told me that libraries were useless (after he found out I worked at one) and that everything you can get from a library you can get on the internet. And we talked to them for at least an hour, maybe longer. Do you know how hard it is to fake smile that long???

We finally left the party and headed over to Doug's brother's to sit on the deck and have a drink. A much needed drink for me, I had none during the party. So that was nice. We left there with more than enough time to make to Bottom's Up for a drink (Doug's) or two. Something happens in bars to make Doug sappy, I think. He started telling me how much he loves me and how important I am to him. Don't get me wrong, I love hearing that. I just wish I heard it a little more when he was sober. Anyhow, while we're sitting there talking they are playing this song. So I jokingly said, "this should be our wedding song." And Doug stopped, listened to the words a few seconds, then looked at me with tears in his eyes and very seriously said, "this is our wedding song." So we have a wedding song now. Woohoo...I'll take what I can get, where I can get it, I guess.

Then we came home and we were up until 3 in the morning. Doug was calling all his friends and we were enjoying sitting outside. It was beautiful out.

Now it's Sunday morning. Doug's still in bed and will probably be there for awhile. We've got alot to do today though. We're supposed to go visit his grandma this afternoon and I want to go get a new cell phone today, plus we were going to clean out the rec room. We'll see what happens though. It may end up being a lazy day for us.
