wild wedding weekend, part one

jane, my old college roommate and one of my most near and dear friends, got married last weekend. which meant a non-stop party for days on end! as you may know if you know me (or if you have been reading this blog for a while), i am not super into weddings, and i usually try pretty hard to avoid them. i am willing to make an exception to my usual wedding hiatus, however, when the blessed event involves people i really like and don't see very often coming to town and staying at my house.

like robin and shaunna. robin and shaunna were also roommates in college, and lived right across the street from jane and me. we ate almost every meal together, watched thursday night tv together, walked to classes together. robin and i even had an intense morning work-out schedule going for a while, which seems sort of amazing now that i am lucky to make it to work by 9:30a.m. i hadn't seen shaunna since her own wedding, five years ago, and robin since two summers ago, so it was about time for a reunion. we did lots of girly things, like shopping and baking and watching romantic comedies. and we enjoyed some delicious stoneground pizza with robin's younger brother, tanner, and his friend, michael. (or it might be matt. for some reason i have real trouble remembering his name.) as a funny side note, tanner called just as we were leaving the house and said, "can you bring some lotion that i can put on my face? it's really dry." when i said yes, he said, "girls are awesome!" how right you are, tanner. how right you are.










we got off to a strong start, and did our best to keep going, but it didn't take long to discover we're just not as young and energetic as we used to be.
