Wichita

This weekend I headed down to Wichita with my parents to get things organized for my brothers wedding. I got to meet Melissa's family for the first time. They were all so nice and welcoming. Melissa's mother is making all of the bridesmaid dresses and the candle lighter dresses. From what I hear she is very talented and super quick so I look forward to being able to see what she can do.

This weekend was full of firsts for me. I tried salmon for the first time and loved it. Bart, Melissa's father grilled in on his gas grill. I was super duper worried all day when I found out that is what we were having. I am not a fish eater, I also never try new foods. Well I didn't want to be rude so I took a teeny tiny piece of fish. I then mixed it with my heavily seasoned rice and broccoli and took the smallest bite possible. I was pleasantly surprised, enough to take another small piece and eat that as well. For my first time I think eating half a piece of salmon was an accomplishment. I also tried biscuits and gravy for the first time. I also liked that, but know that I could never order it out at a restaurant, and I won't make it for myself. It was good, but I just dipped a piece of biscuit in the gravy and didn't put it on top of my biscuits. I tried rhubarb and didn't like it , but I tried it.

I also drank beer for the first time in a movie theatre. I went to watch Hancock with Toby and Missy and they had a full service bar and restaurant there. All you had to do was push a button and a server would bring you whatever you wanted, very fun. All in all it was a good weekend but I am very tired and plan to go to bed very soon.


*Just a quick side note to show how messed up my brain really is, looking back at what I just typed the word restaurant is underlined twice because I of course misspelled it. BUT I spelled the word rhubarb right the first time! Go Figure!!!
