One weekend … two weddings … one family get-together … good times all-around. The possible exception would be the drive down to the in-laws. Lesson learned … kinda like Gremlins … don’t keep child up on car trip past 8pm or so. Laura finally fell asleep between 9:30 and 10… we got to DeForest around 11:30. Guess who got a second wind and didn’t want to go to bed. Eww.
Friday we drove up to Green Bay for Liz & Corey’s wedding. It was very good. The ceremony was very relaxed. The reception of course was a blast. They really like to have fun. There was an awkward moment when I ended up between the bride and the groom in a dancing train, but it was all good. Liz and I had a really good time and were sad when we had to leave to drive back to the in-laws.
Saturday we drove up to Eau Claire for Mindy & Nate’s wedding. It was a nice ceremony, officiated by Mindy’s brother Karl. I think that’s the second wedding I’ve been that an immediate family member has officiated. It added an extra bit of specialness. The reception was good but we were kinda drained from Friday. Note to self … one wedding per weekend. Some extra stress was added by the fact that the directions to the wedding left a little to be desired. Even Gabby the Garmin was confused (we borrowed Scott & Joni’s GPS).
Today is a family day. My brother-in-law John is home for 2 weeks R&R from Kuwait. So we’re watching the Rams fall over for the Vikings and having a good visit. John is enjoying cuddles with Warren. Nephew Jonah is out playing in the leaves.
