Val's Wedding Weekend

So this weekend was my friend Val's wedding, and it was a total blast. The rehearsal was Thursday night so I had to be there early to rehearse with the guitar player. We literally rehearsed for twelve minutes! We ran it twice, and it worked fine. Gotta love professional musicians. So, Doug and I had an hour to burn before everyone else showed up. I think we snuck into every room at the church, played as much basketball as I could in high heels, talked to every person that was around in the church, and then this is what we did to amuse ourselves.

Yes, we were ready for things to get started! Val and company finally got there, and it was the quickest rehersal ever! She was so funny -- we kept talking, and she would get in trouble for not listening. I've never seen a bride so laid back. Afterward, we went to a great Italian place for the dinner. It was great because my sister showed up too so a bunch of us from college got to catch up with each other's lives. i totally enjoyed it. I forgot to get a pic with Mike (from college), but he is a marathon runner so I had a long conversation with him about running and outdoor stuff. Meg and Doug were totally bored with that conversation, and it showed. They prefer a movie and McDonalds to a run anyday :)

Here they are hanging out and making comments just like they use to in college.

I loved seeing Josie and getting some "bonding time" with her. She is just perfect!

I loved being with my sis too. It was kind of like being back in college, except she had a baby :) Meg looked great, and it was nice to get some sister time that we don't always get when the kids are around. Val and Gary are the awesomest couple! They are a blast together and seperately. She got a great guy . He is really easy-going and personable and fits great with Val. Congrats and best wishes, you two!

The last time we were all three together was probably in college!

Elizabeth is another friend from college. She looks amazing and has two kids! Wow! She and Steve (her husband) are moving to Africa soon. I told her to expect a guest. :)Here is Meg with the girls from her class. Lookin' great, ladies.
