Wedding Catering

My best friend asked if I would help her out in catering a wedding luncheon on the 19th of February. I was more than thrilled to help her out since 1. I LOVE to cook and 2. She is a blast to work with. It was a really fun experience...but let me just explain my day that day....

So the morning started off with me waking up to finish cooking the chicken and pasta that we were serving that afternoon. Boston had been sick for a few days before that with a raspy cough and some wheezing. We were a little worried about him just because we could tell he wasn't feeling well and wasn't eating well. I decided that I would hurry and finish getting things together and I would run him to the Insta care in Springville on my way to my moms. I get there check him in and watch the clock. I was suppose to be at the church by 10:30, it is now 9:05. They call us back and got his weight and temp. They hooked him up to the SAT monitor....dun dun dun...it reads 86 now for those of you who aren't familiar with medical stuff, normal SAT or oxygen levels in the body should be in the high 90's. They looked at me and said " I'm sorry we cannot help him here. You will have to take him to the ER" Oh let me tell you how thrilled I was about that. So here it is 9:30 and I'm pulling into the ER. Luckily it was really slow. They got us checked in, and back into a room. By the time they did all the vitals and we talked to the doc who ordered suction and a chest X-ray it was 10:15. I just kept thinking....whyyyy of all days why today. My mom was nice enough to come down and take over since John worked the night before and was sleeping. She stayed with him while I went to the church. We got there and started throwing things together. I was such a scatter brain the whole time, but it turned out great. Half way through the luncheon my mom called to let me know that they were admitting him for RSV. I then called John and woke him up at 12:30 to let him know that I had taken Boston in and they were now admitting him. He was somewhat shocked since the last thing I told him before he went to bed was that I was just taking him to the Insta care. He then hurried down to be with B. We finished the luncheon with applause and very positive comments and even people asking for our numbers. They were a little shocked to find out that we didn't work for a company and that it was just the two of us. WE ROCKED IT! We served Minestrone Soup, Alfredo with Chicken, Green salad with a homemade creamy Italian dressing and bread sticks. SUCCESS! Right after I rushed down to the hospital to be with my ever sick baby! Thank you Becky for the opportunity to work with you. It was a blast and hopefully next time I won't have such a crazy day!
