Ok, so I have apparently been entirely too busy to deal with this blog...how sad, I know...but I had to sit for a minute and breathe, so I thought - why not blog! I literally have 5 minutes to do this because I am due at step class in 5 min and given that we leave for Jordan in 8 DAYS, I have no room for missing a workout. Last night I was at the store getting some essensials for our trip and Yousef decided to call our friend who is getting married. Much to my horror, he found out there are going to be 1200 ( yes thats twelve HUNDRED) people at this wedding. For any of you who really know me, you know how much I am completely freaking out...not to mention that some princes and princesses are gonna b there and possible other royalty I will not mention. (A little backgroung is that our very close friend that Yousef went to grade school with and whom we practically lived at his house in college, is the first Director in Jordan's history to produce a major motion picture...there is an earlier blog about his movie, so check it out)
The thought of that size of a crowd completely screws with my head because I am so anal about being early and getting good seats and etc...thankfully though, we will b going with the groom to the wedding and have reserved seats. That does pose another problem...I am going to be sitting where 1200 other people want to be sitting and they are all going to be looking at me and wondering "who is this girl and why does she get to sit there?" That scares the stinking poo out of me. So, for now I will look at this as God lesson to me that I cannot control everything and that I can only be me and need to stop worrying about how fat I am or how terrible my hair or make up is, or how my dress only cost 60 bucks at dress barn when the girl next to me is wearing a $3000 dress she bought in Paris, because in the end the most important thing is that we are able to fly all the way there and enjoy one of the most important day in the life of one of our dearest friends.
I am learning to let go, and let God! We love you Amin and are so happy for you!!
