::STARRING::
Amy Rogers, a baby shower, and Jordan Zendejas
Last night I had this random dream. In the first part of the dream I was pregnant with twins and someone was throwing me a baby shower. But there were only a couple of people at the baby shower and we were all just sitting around watching sports on TV (which I never do in real life). Then out of the blue someone told me that I needed to open up the gifts. As I did, I found that I had received the most random gifts ever: CTR rings in some random language, board games, a broken toy, and used play-doh. I remember looking at the gifts and trying to pretend that I was happy about them because I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings. But as soon as my mom and I left the party, I turned to her with tears in my eyes and said, "What am I supposed to do with these? I'm having a baby and she is never going to need any of this stuff."
Then, out of nowhere, I was in a car with a few other people and I holding a little black baby girl (I'm assuming she was the baby I had been pregnant with, though I'm not sure what happened to the other twin). I was in the passenger seat and we were going down this huge hill when suddenly we drove into a massive fog. The driver honked and slammed on the breaks because we literally couldn't see 5 feet in front of us. I tried my hardest to protect the little girl I was holding, and whoever was in the back seat started yelling at me for not having her in her car seat to begin with (I'm not sure why I hadn't, I would NEVER do that in real life). Fortunately we didn't crash and I quickly put the little girl in her car seat.
We then pulled into a park in Provo Canyon. When we got there, we found Luis' best friend's mom setting up. It turned out that her daughter, Amy, was having a wedding luncheon there. We all joined in to finish helping and soon a bunch of other people showed up, including my parents. As we sat down to enjoy a wonderful meal, I heard some whispering about the pavilion not being reserved. When I looked up, I saw that my friends from school, Jordan, was also getting married that day and her family had planned on using the same pavilion for her wedding reception. Her entire family was all dressed up and standing at the entrance to the pavilion giving us dirty looks and trying to decide who was going to be brave enough to come say something.
As I got up to go talk to them, my father-in-law told me to just leave it alone, but I wasn't having that. So I walked over and began talking with one of Jordan's older sisters. She asked why we were there and why we hadn't reserved the place. I told her that we had spoken with the park reservation people and they said that we could use the pavilion as long as no one else had reserved it. I also told her sister that if they had really wanted to have a wedding reception there, they should have spent the $100 to reserve it. I could see that she was annoyed with me, and she walked away saying that she was going to go figure out how to respond to me. I told her that if they really wanted that particular pavilion, we would be finished with our luncheon in about an hour and we would be willing to stay to help them set up for her reception.
In the end, Amy won out. We stayed at the pavilion having our lunch. I'm not sure whether Jordan's family was going to come back after we finished eating. In fact, I'm not sure why it was these two girls who were getting married. Amy is only 16 right now, and Jordan would never have a wedding reception in a pavilion (I don't think).
