I like how I mentioned dan and phil going on tour but they weren't going to be anywhere near us ONE TIME and my mom went "okay are there tickets for a show in Colorado?" and then just BOUGHT THEM? I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO CONVINCE HER? AND THE NEXT DAY SHE ASKED ME "hey who are those guys we're gonna see live" GIRL YOU BOUGHT US TICKETS TO SEE THEM WITHOUT KNOWING WHO THEY WERE WHAT

For some reason the backs of my legs hurt so bad today it was hard to sit or stand up. Laying down and sitting criss cross seem alright. But it did put a little damper on the day. Thankfully it was still a good day.

I slept alright. I felt really stressed when I got up because I had to go back to the dentist. James tried to make me feel better. They made a beautiful blackberry tart. And so I packed one of those in my little backpack. I also had to charge my phone so while I wanted to not bring my backpack I had a lot to hold.

I felt cute today though. I was in a good mood overall even if I was stressed. My legs were really bothering me. Like I couldn't touch my toes my hamstrings were so tight. But we headed out and I would mostly be okay. Except getting in and out of the car. That was tough.

Honestly the dentist went fine. The hygienist I had was lovely and really nice to me.

And the cleaning went okay. Honestly it hurt in places. She was very concerned about my oldest crowns because I like fully tried to get away from her when she tapped in it. Which is crazy because it doesn't hurt? Like I feel fine. But it wasn't horrible. I just wasn't having fun.

She was nice though. We talked about the wedding. I told her our venue has beautiful gothic architecture and she said if she could do it again she would wear a black wedding dress and I was like. Yes!!! My mom vetoed that. But I am walking down the aisle to MCR and she was like. You know I was listening to MCR this morning and they still slap. And I was like you are correct.

She also told me I was hardcore when I told her about the time I had to pull out my broken tooth bits with pliers. Got to keep them on their toes. Dentists.

But at least she didn't make me feel like crap. I did make more appointments to possibly get my one crown replaced but I don't expect I'll actually be able to afford that. Even with insurance I will be surprised.

It was a beautiful day though. And me and James were heading to the zoo!!

We got out there and there was a huge group out front but they were a homeschool group and so we were able to go around them and got in with no issue. Love a reciprocal ticket.

I almost got emotional looking at the prairie dogs again. There were babies!! They were squeezing! And jumping!! It was excellent.

And then we took the historical walk to the rest of the zoo. I really had fun. I dont know if I was showing it much. I was hungry. We would sit and I had my pastry. Enjoyed the nice weather and the lack of crowds. There were babies and nannies and parents and that was fine.

We didn't get to pet the goats but I did pet a donkey. Very soft ears. And we saw a lot of sleeping animals. I wish we saw the otters and bear more. But I got to see so many bats and tree frogs. We also just saw a free roaming deer. It was really just a lot of fun.

We were there for about an hour and a half. I was getting tired though. My legs hurt and I wanted to eat something. Their cafes weren't open today so after we saw the grizzly bear we headed out.

A nice security guard referred to us as king and queen and it made me smile. It was a beautiful day for real.

While we were walking back to the car we got the great news that the kilts are ready for pick up!!! Finally!! So I texted my mom and checked in with her. The plan now is I'm going to to visit my parents and pick up the kilts and do a sewing day with Jess and it just made me feel so much lighter. It had really stressed me out not knowing what was happening with the guys outfits. But things are good now. Hopefully the pick up goes smoothly.

Me and James headed to Hamden to go to Golden West for lunch. We got sandwiches. They have a lot vegan options so I was able to get a BLT and I enjoyed the half I ate. The whole thing was to big honestly. It was a good lunch.

We went to get gas for the car after that. And I just got so tired. My body hurt so much and I just desperately wanted to lay down.

We got back and I got changed and laid down. James rubbed the backs of my legs and it helped but sleeping helped more.

James went for a long bike ride while I slept. And when I woke up they were all smiley and it was just good to see their face.

We ordered pizza for dinner and just had a chill evening. Mostly just watching videos. I packed a little backpack and put out my totebag where I'm keeping my wedding dress. Jess says that is very me. But I'm all ready to go in the morning.

I took a bath with salt and bubbles to try to help my poor body. Helped a little. I also washed my hair and attempted to use my round hot brush to practice how I'm going to do my hair for the wedding and it's not perfect but it worked so well!! Made me feel so pretty and my hair felt so soft. I think with a little more practice this will be perfect. I also need to get some hair spray but that's not a huge deal.

Now me and James are in bed watching scary videos. I have a little juice. I am in a good mood.

I hope my trip to my parents is nice. I am looking forward to seeing them. I haven't seen my dad since his surgery. But he's home now and I am looking forward to spending some time with him and my mom.

I hope you all sleep well tonight. Goodnight everyone!!!
