Jenny’s & Kemp’s Wedding

October 27, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

I’m going to cheat and write as if I published this yesterday because I didn’t get home til almost one am and I was pooped from the drive.

2019 | Sissy's Birthday Celebration at Sushi 9

I was supposed to meet up with Jakob for lunch but due to timing and having to drive to Montgomery for the wedding our timing didn’t work out as planned. Instead I had lunch with Sissy and the family to celebrate her birthday at Sushi 9.

Jenny & Kemp Wedding | Montgomery, Texas

After running a couple of errands I headed to my over an hour drive to Montgomery, Texas for Jenny and Kemp’s wedding. The drive wasn’t as bad as I thought and seeing this sight made my heart happy.

I was kind of feeling myself since I haven’t put on full eye makeup in a long time.

Jenny & Kemp Wedding | Big Sky Barn | Montgomery, Texas | Decorations

Her decorations were on point and I loved the wooden name touch. I don’t know what I’m going to do with it but I love it.

Jenny & Kemp Wedding | Big Sky Barn | Montgomery, Texas | Saying "I Do"

There was an announcement to not take pictures during the ceremony but I’m a rebel. But don’t worry, they photographer and videographer were standing next to where I was sitting so I wasn’t in their way!

Jenny & Kemp Wedding | Big Sky Barn | Montgomery, Texas | Emma

I finally got to meet Emma, Wacko & Monica’s daughter. She’s already so grown! She was very shy but still uttered hello to me and gave me high fives and kisses.

Jenny & Kemp Wedding | Big Sky Barn | Montgomery, Texas | Food & Drinks

They catered from Goode Barbeque and had open bar. Everything from the venue to the food and drinks were on point. I’ve found out I like Crown Apple with Cranberry juice as well.

I was lucky to snag a picture with the lovely couple. Her dress was so freaking gorgeous! Speaking of dresses, my dress had both the bridesmaid and groomsmen colours! How crazy on point was that.

These two are so silly, so loving, and so perfect for one another. They’ve both grown a lot as well and I’m so honoured to have witness them tie the knot.

It was also great to see familiar faces again too. Well other than Wacko since I work with him and see him practically every day.

But this family always makes me feel very welcomed and always makes me feel like I belong. There were no anxieties walking into the Big Sky Barn alone because I knew with them I felt at home.

Jenny & Kemp Wedding | Big Sky Barn | Montgomery, Texas | Drive Thru

It was a gorgeous wedding. We danced the night away and caught up. There was drunk talk, drunk crying, and drunk love. Don’t worry, that wasn’t me. But I witnessed it all and my heart is full with love for each and every one of them.

The drive home wasn’t horrible since I was still high from all the love and fun we had.

Rizzo & Luna’s Reunion

October 26, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Rizzo and Purple Dog

Scruffy and I met up to catch up at the dog park and Rizzo got to see Luna. It’s funny how the world works because I realized today marks one whole year since we broke up. Per usual, Luna was too into the ball but I got some pets in and was able to throw her a few balls. We all walked several laps as well. I’m sure Rizzo was happy to get out of the house because after his shower all he wanted to do was go under the blankets and sleep.

Yummy Crawfish and Seafood | Katy, Texas | Snow Crab, Shrimp, Oysters

My boss gave me an okay to use the corporate card for a certain amount to take a loved one somewhere nice to dinner this weekend. I took Mum and we chose Yummy Crawfish and Seafood since it was close and we got to get a lot for our buck. My eyes, per usual, was bigger than my stomach.

Kim's Teahouse | Katy, Texas | Taro Smoothie

We stopped by Kim’s Teahouse to pick up a few drinks as well. We’re sipping and watching the Astros dominate. Come on ‘Stros!

Matching BBBS, Mentoring, Initial Lasik Checkup

October 22, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

I received an email from Big Brothers Big Sisters today! I’ve matched with a mentee! I’m excited to see where this goes. I heard it’s hard to get selected and once selected you don’t always get matched so my heart is a little on the happy side right now. Eeep!

Elementary Mentoring | Guess Who

I finally got to see my 3rd grader today. We played with Christopher’s kid as well. War, Connect Four, Guess Who, etc. All the kids were a little off the walls today but I guess it was a nice break from work.

Joffe Medicenter | Houston, Texas | Initial Checkup

Luckily I got to leave early so that I could make it to my initial checkup on my eyes. Their machine goes down to 20/15 so I’m not sure if my eyes are better than that but what good news! The only thing is waiting for my astigmatism to slowly correct itself. It’s not horrible but they said that my eyes will adjust with time so fingers crossed!

Baby Finn’s Baby Shower

October 19, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Mum, June and I woke up early to pick up Sissy and headed off to Dallas. I slept most of the way to rest my eyes. It was nice not having to drive all day!

Wu Wei Din | Plano, Texas

We left with Brudda, Emmy, and Sammi for lunch at Wu Wei Din. The Xiao long bao aren’t the very best but still one of the bests in Houston other than Wanna Bao.

QQ Teahouse | Plano, Texas

We went next door to QQ Teahouse And it ended up being one of the worst teahouses I’ve been too. That’s all I’m going to say on that.

Baby Finn's Surprise Baby Shower

Sissy and I went and picked up surprise things for baby Ethan. Brudda went to bed and SIL was still at work. SIL’s mum, Jenny, and Le showed up. It was successful!! Sissy made the teddy bear and I made the decorations for the cake. We all are and talked and had a grand time.

Bols | Plano, Texas

We were supposed to go to the State Fair but ended up against it. We went and got Bols for dinner with Jenny and Le. This place is definitely one of the best ramen places we’ve been to.

Fat Straws | Plano, Texas

We stopped by Fat Straws for another Team but mostly for their mochi donuts. We got the blueberry, strawberry, black sesame, and matcha. We’re saving that for tomorrow’s breakfast though.

We’re back at the house watching the rest of the Astros game. All on the edge of our seats!

Lasik Procedure at Joffe Medicenter

October 18, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

WARNING: there are eyeball pictures that can be a trigger for some towards the end.

Last Day of Prescription Glasses

Yesterday was the last day I wore my prescription glasses for a full day. I was surprised by how many compliments I got wearing them. I guess I’m still scarred by being made fun of when I was a kid.

Joffe Medicenter | Houston, Texas | Lasik | Consent Forms

This morning, June took me to see the wizard for new eyeballs. I signed my life away and swiped my cards to pay for everything.

Joffe Medicenter | Houston, Texas | Lasik | Procedure

After having much laughter with the nurse I went into the room and got my procedure done. They were nice enough to take pictures for me.

Joffe Medicenter | Houston, Texas | Lasik | Procedure Monitor

This is what you see on the monitors. How crazy is this?! You can see the flap they made too.

Joffe Medicenter | Houston, Texas | Lasik | Dr. Kevin Merkley

The whole procedure took 10 to 15 minutes. I really don’t even know because the Xanax made me so chill. All I remember is taking a picture with Dr. Kevin Merkley and walking out the door.

Joffe Medicenter | Houston, Texas | Lasik | Stunna Shades

As we drove home we stopped and bought food but since I was woozy I ended up sleeping the whole time until 6pm. I had a long phone call with Delisha, ate dinner, and am already ready to go back to bed.

There is little discomfort but nothing too major. I do have to keep up with artificial tears constantly so it won’t dry up. The other drops I need to take are four times a day for a week. These do burn just a bit. I cannot wait for this to all be healed so i can live a life without contacts or glasses. Last time I remember that life was back in 1st grade.
