I went to a wedding last night. The bride I have known since she was a baby. As they were saying their vows, it really got to me. Especially the til death does apart. How sad that almost 21 years ago my H and I repeated those vows and now they have no meaning to me.

After the wedding I went to the reception thinking that I would make an appearance and leave. Guess what I was among the last guest to leave. I had a great time. Danced, drank, and made a new friend.

How's this for GAL? One of my friends that I teach with lives an hour and half away in a condo on the lake. She was with her husband and their friend (my new friend). They invited me over today to go boating. I'm excited.

My H is taking my DD's and their friends to the lake today and I was feeling kind of down, but not anymore because I'm also headed to the lake, just a different one, but in the same town, ha!

It was funny last night because on my way home last night my D16 called and said where are you?!!! I said I'm on my way home from the wedding. She said you stayed that long? She went also, but she and oldest D left soon after getting to the reception. It was funny that D was checking up on me instead of the other way around!
