Sitting at IAH, waiting to go back home. It was a really beautiful wedding, though it seemed really long -- particularly to Jake. Jennifer was radiant, and the couple gave all appearances of being over-the-top happy. Amazing carrot cake. I accidentally left the wedding present at the motel (doh!), but MoMo's going to ship it to them this week. I could pay for wi-fi here at the airport, but screw that. That's what TextEdit is for, right?
So, what happened this weekend? Dad gave Jacob a beautiful telescope for his 8th birthday -- what a geezer! And we both Jake and I got the Mommy-look (a.k.a. the "evil eye") from MoMo when we were getting too rowdy at the reception.
Jake also got to experience my serious snoring firsthand. Lucky kid, right? Of course, I got to listen to him snore (probably much less aggressively, albeit) this morning.
Completely in reverse order, I spent Friday with Pat and Liz, which was really nice, and then there was a surprisingly large dinner Friday night with Doreen's friends and family. Saying "it was really nice" sounds trite, but it really was. No, really. I hadn't seen many of them since I visited last year, so it was a good reunion.
I got a few more repeats done on the Samus cable. Two more to go (I think) which will probably tide me over on the plane. For now, I'm just decompressing with a decaf soy latte.
I do so love spending time with my grandparents. They are so open with me, and we talk much more easily than we used to. I think that the visit this summer helped that, too.
