My Best Friends Wedding

My best friend Michele got married on Saturday to her High School sweetheart. Bill and Michele were engaged when I met Michele 18 years ago, and they had broken the engagement. Michele went on to have 2 children and 3 marriages and finally came full circle back to Billy. This is Billy's first marriage. I think he's been waiting for Michele for 18 years.

The weather was awful, it was freezing with a mix of snow and rain. It was really coming down. The wedding was at a little church in Dayton and it was really nice. The church was really pretty. Michele looked gorgeous as always and Bill looked very handsome. Michele wore her Aunt Sandy's wedding dress and it was perfect for her. It's great to see her so happy.

After the church we went down the street to Pierres for dinner. The dinner was very nice and we went back to Michele and Bill's for a little bit after dinner.

I'm glad it was beautiful for her. I hope her and Billy are very happy together. She deserves it.

Nothing exciting

I know I haven't posted in a while. Nothing exciting goes on in my life. Even the day to day trials and tribulations aren't much to write home about.

The holidays were nice. A lot of presents and the kids seem to be enjoying them. There's a few that we're not enjoying like the Marble game that if one piece falls off you have to break the whole thing down and spend 2 hours (no exaggeration) putting it back together again. They are playing with everything else pretty much.

New Years was nice. We went to Bonzai as we do every year with the Havens, Drakes, Slattery's, Johnsons, and Lopardos. There was about 21 people there with us and we had a good time. Then Jenn and Ellen and families came back to our house. The kids played nicely in the basement and everyone stayed up until midnight. At 12:01 J came to me and said he wanted to go to bed so he was the first one to sleep.

New Years day we went to the Bogens as usual and the kids had fun playing over there for a bit. Jenn, Ellen and I went to see Brokeback Mountain that night which was very.....um...... interesting. Yeah, that's the word. Different movie, but it was actually pretty good. Better than the movie I saw this past Saturday, Fun with Dick and Jane. That movie was pretty bad.

My parents went down to Florida for a few weeks. Mom till the 17th and Dad till the 27th.

I think the most exciting thing that's happend lately is that we got a new cafeteria in my work building. It's huge. I don't know that there's more stuff but it's definitely a lot larger. I guess there is more stuff but since it's not more stuff that I'd like then I guess that means there's not more stuff. The grill is back which is nice and they have a panini station now (which doesn't thrill me but I'm sure it does for other people) and they have these nice brick ovens so the pizza looks better. It's very nice. It opened yesterday so it'll take a while to get used to. They also replaced all the seating in the cafeteria and even made some booths. Pretty neat.

It's pretty sad that that's the most exciting thing that's happend lately. But it is.
