Here it is, friends.
It’s a long story with few words.
Thursday, September 5th
school, soccer practice, drum lessons, back to school for a 7 p.m. parent meeting and photocopying, home by 9:30
Friday, September 6th
coffee, flowers, flowers, flowers, snacks with our wonderful neighbors, flowers, flowers, rehearsal, pizza, cotton candy, beer; bridesmaids hem my dress with safety pins because it’s too small for me to wear my petticoat under.
Courtesy of my neighbors’ skill and kindness. I learned how to make flower arrangements!
Saturday, September 7th
Snuggles with a very-pregnant bridesmaid and her baby belly, coffee and breakfast, Xanax, hair
Church parking lot. Hyperventilating.

Seriously. How did this happen. I mean, I know how it happens, but you know what I mean.
“cake in YO FACE!”

We stole an entire pie from the pile of leftovers. We proceeded to eat the entire thing. With gusto.

Home. The honeymoon’s over, but we are still far from recovered. It was lovely and fun, but so very much work for us, our friends and our families.
