Officially back from Florida

I am totally depressed too! I had such a good time.
Friday

I was ready to head out early in the morning. My dad showed up right on time and we rushed to the airport. On the airplane I read my ethics book and slept. Then shared a veggie cobb salad, a tuna sandwich, and pop chips with my dad on the plane. My stomach felt icky right after. when we got to the Ft Lauderdale airport, we went to get the rental car. We chatted with the guy Paul Berson (I think) turns out he is a musician and an artist. We then got the car and waited for Roberta and Arman. We got them and then went to the hotel Bahia Marr. Then we got ready for the bachelorette party. Arman told us that the guys were going to an art museum while the girls went to the strip club. I actually believed him. I thought it was hilarious, I pictured the guys all dressed up and pondering over abstract art and the Mona lisa.

when we arrived at hte hotel, my stomach felt really quezy, It got worse while we were heading out the door. I was full on sick right after the picture in front of the hummer limo was taken:( I stayed pretty much face down in the toilet until midnight. Candace stayed behind to take care of me and call my dad etc. I did get to chat nicely with Candace. we had some bonding moments. I was able to bond with her more after I took the Pepto bismo and ate some saltines that my dad brought me when he picked us up. Stayed up till about 2am when I finally fell asleep. I slept really well.

Saturday
My dad and me met with Uncle Mark, some guys that were friends with Jared, and Jared at the Bahia Cabana. I had over easy eggs and grits and an OJ. The OJ was nasty. Then Josh, Philip and Kerachel, Roberta and Arman, Stephanie, aunt Karine, Mel and Nicole showed up. Finally Candace showed up with Jeanie and Greg. We chatted all morning and ate till noon. Then we went back to the hotel and almost immedately my dad and I met up with Uncle Sam for lunch. Then my dad and I went back to the Bahia Marr pool and met up with Kerachel and Philip and aunt Jeanie and Arman. It was so funny, we found out while we were there that the pool at the Marriott was closed because too many people peed in the pool and the chemicals were no longer in balance. hahahhahahahhahaaha! I can just picture the movie Grown ups with the water turning a different color.
Then we all went back and got ready for the rehearsal dinner.

Rehearsal Dinner
Met up with everyone.
I sat next to Nicole and Emily (cousin on Stephs side) she is adopted and a possible date for Josh.
Josh was at the table and so was Gaby (new person on stephs side). Unfortunately I wasn't sitting with Kerachel and Philip:( but Candace was at my table. anyways it was a rehearsal dinner/ roast. Most of the roast comments were pretty funny. Some of them were just lame. But overall the food was ok, and I had a good time. I forgot to eat the desert though. Oh and nicole made a funny comment about how this was the last time that Jared would have the upper hand in the relationship.

After the dinner we went back to the hotel where we chatted. My dad was trying to call Uncle Sam and the conversation was pretty much them saying Hi over and over again. Bahahhahaha! we were rolling on the floor laughing. Actually only aunt Jeanie was. I think she might have been a little drunk lol.

Then Kerachel and Philip joined us and we decided to go walk on the beach. I walked farther with Kerachel and philip while my dad, roberta, and arman, and jeanie stayed behind a bit. They gave up on walking and just chatted while Kerachel, Philip and I went further to meet with Josh and Emily. We got some seashells and learned that they kept the lights off so that the sea turtles could find their ways to the ocean instead of heading to the street. There were nexts all about the beach. Then we walked back and went back to the hotel. poor Philip was exhausted and willingly gave in to my dad when my dad offered to take Aunt Jeanie back to her hotel. Watched Doogie Houser on tv before we fell asleep. or maybe it was the movie perfect getaway. Anyawys eventually I fell asleep to my dad snoring.

Sunday
got up at 9am and I met with Kerachel and Philip while my dad and arman waited to drop Roberta off. then Kerachel, Philip, and I went to the Baha Cabana and waited for Josh and everyone else to show up. we had breakfast and then we headed back to the hotel. We the nwent back to the beach for a hbit. Kerachel, Roberta and I made a sand fort only to have it destroyed by Philip and maybe Arman later. When we got back I took a shower and tried to nap for a bit. Soon it was time to get ready for the wedding.

Wedding
WAS TOTALLY AWESOME!!!! it was outdoors of the Marriott. Other guests actually came out and watched the wedding. Roberta walked with Josh and Stephanie was gorgeous as usual. they exchanged rings, did a sand ceremony, and Jared broke the glass. then we were supposed to stay behind while others got hor de vours, We cheated and grabbed sushi while waiting to have our pictures taken.

I totally pigged out and ate 8 pieces of sushi, dissecting the last ones. I was bummed because I was too full to competely eat my whole meal. Then it started to rain a little so we all went inside. I found my seat at the table with Emily, Josh, Kerachel, Philip, Roberta, Arman, Candace and nicole. Nicole told me that she purposely put me there to sit next to me. But I ended up sandiwched between Candace and Emily. It didn't matter because after some really nice toasts by Uncle Mark, Nicole, and Melanie, we danced the night away. literally danced the night away. i got to have a dance with my dad, and I danced a lot with Kerachel, Roberta, Arman, Philip and Josh and Candace. After all the dancing we were all pooped and sat around the table laughing away. We were the last ones to leave with Uncle Mark. I wanted to stay a little later to see Nicole and Mel. We were up till 3:30am at least.

Monday
Woke up for brunch. we met with Kerachel and Philip and then headed to the Marriott for breakfast. Said goodbye to everyone and then we went with Steph to their room and got to check out the bridal suite (presidential suite) It was huge, complete with walk in closet, petals on the floor and an interesting standing shower. we then said our goodbyes and went to check out. We had lunch with Uncle Sam, Aunt Joyce, Joyce's parents, Roberta, Arman, Dad, Kerachel and Philip, Philip told me that he works for a company that prints books like dr suess. After lunch we pretty much had to leave. :( Very sad to say goodbye.

the airport was weird. the normal metal detectors were replaced with these scanner things. I was the only one who went through. My dad went through a normal one and Arman and Roberta refused to go through the other one. they took them aside and gave roberta a long lecture. It was so long we couldn't even say goodbye. My dad was really upset at the airline people. But I think that it is silly to refuse to go through the scanner. Anyways, everything is back to normal now. Sigh!

back to school and work. I miss being on vacay already.
Anyways I have to go read for school and write my other paper already.
