On the coast (again?)

We made it to the coast (whew)! Right now, some of the adults are downstairs eating salad or whatever we have left over from this week, which has been stressfull, to let you know. We woke up on Tuesday morning (we being Mom, Dad, Dakota, Chey K, and I) and got dressed in our 'coastie' clothing. After loading into the car, we drove to Leavenworth and ate breakfast at Krystals cafe, which was NOT very good. We didn't stop again until we reached the coast.
So before we even got to my Aunt and Uncle's house (where we are staying) we went SHOPPING!!! I was soooo happy. We went to Ross, which even though it is embarrasing to say I shop at Ross, I still love it. I got a cute new dress and to-die-for flats. My mom even bought some new shoes- both pairs which I WILL steal eventually.
For lunch us brave ones (Mom, Kota, Me) went to Suhsiland and ate about 2,000 pounds of sushi. My fave is tuna rolls.
We met up with Daddy and Chey K (who had gone to Red Robin) and drove to my Aunt Bethanie's.
The next morning my mom went to Safeway and bought a bunch of snacky stuff. Later that day, mom took us to get mani-pedis at Oaisis nails or something like that. I even got my brows waxed! That night we went to meeting at the North Bothell hall and I got several compliments on my new dress. It was uber fun.
The next morning we relaxed a little, and we mostly hung around on Thursday. When 6:30 rolled around Bethanie, Mom, me, Taya, and Paula and Raine and went to my Nanna's house for the Bridal shower for Makayla. It was fun. We played the price is right.
On Friday, I went to Skyview Junior High to see my old friends. Little did I know, my 'old friends' went to Leota. The only people I got to see were my 'classmates I knew but didn't bother to talk to'. I was bummed out, but at least I had something to do that morning. A lot of people came on Friday night including Nita Weeks, Craig Weeks, Joel Weeks, Bethany Weeks, Ryan Weeks, Ethan Weeks, Asia Weeks, and Cacie Kothman.
The next day was TODAY! We woke up around 7:00 and got prepped for the wedding. Sky showed up at 7:35, worried about the fog.
"It will be clear before the ceremony" my mom said to reassure him.
"Are you sure?" he stressed. "What time is it?"
"7:35"
"What time's the ceremony?"
"11"
"Oh"
We all laughed. Makayla showed up later, but stayed up in the bedroom to get herself all dolled up. When we were all seated, and the wedding song played, she floated down the stairs and delicatly glided across the floor to the "platform".
I pretty much only go to weddings for one thing. During the entire ceremony, I think about it. While they exchanged rings, I thought about it. Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you. I'm talking about the SNACKS!
Finally, at 2:30, everybody left. I was happy, and I immediately changed my clothes and went outside to play. And now here I sit, happy and content. Hope you enjoyed reading. That is, if you made it this far.
