Day 7 and 8, August 7 and 8, 2010

So I got back home today about 2pm.  We had a good weekend at my father's house and my brother's wedding.  Some things didn't go right and I just laughed them off.  We went out after and got stinking drunk- without the bride and groom because they were leaving at 3am to head to Watkins Glen for the race...part of their honeymoon. 

So I got home and in the mail I found a letter from my college.  6 months ago I applied for a scholarship and totally forgot about it.  I WON IT!!! $1800 for the next school year!  And just in time for the wedding!  I am getting a little irritated because I have all this money coming in; it just hasn't come in yet!  I'm STILL waiting on my financial aid check from my summer classes (coming any day now), the guy from Walmart is sending me $500 to fix my car (but we can't seem to get in contact other than phone tag), and now this $1800 that will be split; $900 for the fall and $900 for the spring.  Hey- extra wedding money is how I look at it!  In NY, pretty much if you are a single mom the state will pay for your education through the TAP grant, which I get.  Then add the federal grant I get and now this scholarship- any money not used on bills or books I get in a refund check...which means I can use it for anything I want- including wedding stuff!  Sometimes it does pay to go to school lol.

This is my brother Kenny that got married yesterday, with my little Haileybug as his flower girl.  This was during the dollar dance.  Soo cute!  She went around to everyone in the fire hall and ended up thiefing $10 or so to keep dancing with her Uncle Kenny :)  She was a beautiful flower girl and I can't wait to see that bright smile at my own wedding.

As I said, this is the pic that my friend put on her slideshow at her wedding.  She don't know it but it made me feel 10 ft tall having this pic in her show.  I was soo skinny then!  Hope I can get there again!
