So in chronological order, went to wedding. It was a pretty ceremony. xSIL looked amazing, they are such a cute couple. I saw tons of people I haven't seen in anywhere from a few months to a few years.
XH was there of course, managed to avoid him for the most part. He unfortunately made a point of coming to talk to me, but was polite. He got pissed off at Roger for talking to his gf and interrupted their conversation to literally drag her off to dance lmao.
I danced a bunch with Roger and with one of the cousins, Amber. I managed to hold it together this wedding, not sure if it was a combination of being further along in time, being stubborn about not breaking down anywhere where XH could find out about it, or having a lot more "family" there to support me.
All in all, a fun time. So glad I was able to go.
Got up before dawn Sunday to drive to San Francisco for my national guard drill. Got to do my official promotion ceremony to Captain. Finally got home at about 7 pm last night and started laundry. Was hearing sirens close, then heard heavy trucks, so went outside to see and the duplex two houses down from me was on fire! Luckily we are having unseasonal rain and cold weather, plus the fire station is less than a mile away. I think the entire station turned up, we must've had 5 trucks there. Both halves of the duplex are pretty much totaled I think, but it didn't spread. It was started in the garage of the unrented half by some squatters. Don't know if they all got out, but the family in the other half was able to get out, including their cat.
Contractors were there til almost 3 this morning boarding up the house. The fire dept cut down the front doors, cut a hole in the garage door, broke most of the windows to get hoses in, and cut a hole in the roof.
Maybe next time people try telling the owner there's squatters in his investment property he'll actually do something about it lol.

Wow Michelle.. well done! Sounds like you conducted yourself with dignity. So... you say you held it together because you didnt want him to see you break down, or something.. so in fact, was it upsetting to see him and in that sitch ? How was Roger about your XH being present ?
LOVED the dress btw, really unusual and flattering shape I bet.

No, if anything, seeing him makes me feel luckly lol. He's put on a bit of weight and is just as insecure and pompous as he has been since his deployment. He is not the same person I fell in love with, the one I miss.
I do miss being married. I miss being able to believe in forever. But life goes on.
I will try and get some pictures up tomorrow.
Tonight is puppy dog's final exam in training class.
