I neglected to update since my vacation.
I am back. I was slightly motivated. Then.... my aunt visited. I've been off the last couple of days... hopefully I can steer relatively clear today, and I'll be ready for the weekend.
I have a good friend who is getting married next fall. We had conversations, in the past, before she was engaged, that if either of us were to get married, we'd be each other's bridesmaids. It was a very definite thing. Now she's engaged. And she's torn. Her sister in law got married a couple of years ago, and had a friend, Alice, who coordinated everything day of the wedding. My friend now wants an "Alice", someone she trusts to coordinate and ensure everything goes according to schedule, or as planned... and she hinted, and has stated that she wants me to be that person. She also still abides by wanting me as a bridesmaid, but also mentioned she has a long list of gals she'd consider for her bridal party.
Honestly, I'm honored she considered me, trusts me, enough to want me to be that coordinator person, but at the same time, I really want to be a bridesmaid. I know I'm really good at planning, and coordinating, and I'm sure just about everyone who has considered me, in the past couple of years, as a potential had this thought cross their mind. It may be the very reason most people want me to be there, because they know they can count on me to be there when they really need me, and know I'll do my best, and do it well. It's a huge responsibility and to be the first person considered is a true reflection of perceived character. And it's a good one. I just think I can do it, while also being a bridesmaid.....
