It is so sad. We’ve spent months looking forward to the wedding and now all we can do is look back. My parents and grandma leave bright and early tomorrow morning. The last of our aunts and uncles leave later in the morning. And this concludes the perfect wedding week.

My sister’s wedding was incredibly beautiful. I don’t think things could have possibly gone better. I hope that lisa and lam look back on it with great pleasure and happiness. I really glad to have gained such a great brother. I can’t wait to see what the future brings for them.

It was also great to spend time with the family out here. I wasn’t sure that any of my dad’s family would visit us up here.

All in all, it was a great time. And now I am going to go back to watching “it’s always sunny in philadelphia”.

The wedding was perfect. Pictures are on their way.

Eric and I slept until 10 this morning. No one bothered to call and let us know what was going on and that was nice.

Apparently Lisa gets to be offended, even when my post isn’t about my weekend.

I love long weekends. I left for Santa Rosa on Thursday afternoon so that I could get there early enough to watch the fireworks. This was probably the most planned part of my weekend. Fireworks are nice, but nothing would ever trump the fireworks in Pittsburgh, so really this holiday is all about friends and bbqs.

On Friday Lisa and Lam came out. Lisa’s birthday weekend celebration began! Our day was spent running small errands here and there, listening to music, drinking champagne and wine, eating good food, and just generally enjoying each other’s company. Quite a nice way to pass the time. Saturday the kids went hiking and Winemonkey and I did a couple of tastings out at the winery then went to his mom’s birthday bbq. We sure do know a lot of people born the first week of July. Afterwards we met back up with Lisa and Lam and went to a tired, allbeit nice, dinner at the Underwood. I had been feeling all kinds of under the weather this past weekend and the kids were tired from their hike. The Underwood had no roasted beets (because someone didn’t do their job) and the tuna tartar was off the menu. But I enjoyed my meal none-the-less and especially enjoyed the company.

Sunday we had Lisa’s favorite breakfast… french toast… yummified by Winemonkey and his test kitchen recipe… then parted ways and I finished laundry before heading back to the hell that is Sacramento.

Seriously.

It is 9 pm and STILL 90 freaking degrees outside. Can I click my heels three times and end up at the ocean??!?

So ultimately – HAPPY BIRTHDAY LISA! I had a great weekend with you and your fiance.

I just want to point out that it is only 9 in the morning and I have already had two distinctive conversations with people who were telling me about their poop.

Makes for an interesting Wednesday morning… that’s for sure.

I haven’t been to a baseball game in years… and never to a Rivercats game.

I am looking forward to the game and spending time with Lisa!

I spent this last weekend in Pittsburgh. It was a great trip, even though my grandma was in the hospital. By the end of the trip, she was doing much better and she was discharged today. The only way it could have been better was if she had never needed to go to the hospital in the first place.

We also celebrated Lam and Lisa’s engagement. My trip in was supposed to be a surprise, but Lisa had it figured out well in advance. My mom (and me for that matter) isn’t very good at keeping secrets for her. The brunch my parents threw for the two of them was really nice. Very fancy. Unfortunately, I only took pictures at the beginning. I will have to do better in the future as her maid of honor!

I am moving this week and I can’t guarantee how many times I will be on to post and read. To be honest, it is 7:20 and I am exhausted. I could curl up and sleep right now…
