its always an adventure...

it seems when we have somewhere to go, especially out of town with our good friends Amy and Joe.

This weekend we attended a very lovely wedding for our friends Jess and Aaron. This marks just about the last of us college girls to get married...we will look forward to Jen getting married, but for now she is enjoying the single life.

This was also the first weekend that I left Avery overnight. I had terrible anxiety all day friday, but once I left him with my mom it eased a bit. I wasn't the only one that had to leave their little one over the weekend..Amy and Joe did too. I know it was hard for both of use to do it, but we both survived.

Friday afternoon, we drive into Boston(Quincy actually). Well none of us are big city drivers, but luckily Amy drove us there safe and sound. We arrived right at 5:56, exactly as Keith predicted for rehearsal at 6. This was after we went the wrong way on the highway(not our fault, we followed the directions we were given). After that we went and met our friends Melissa and Dave for dinner at Bertucci's. The food was delish and everyone had a drink(except amy and i). Then we walked the mall and finally headed back to Jess and Aaron's for the night.

We watched a bit of tv and talked, while the boys played "find the network". Amy and I looked at each other at one point and said we were both lost as to what to do with out the kids there. It was nice to have time just to chill...but we also missed them. I should also mentioned I made us a chocolate cake and my husband as talented as he is, sat on it! so we didn't get to eat it...we weren't up for some "butt cake."

After a interesting night of NOT sleeping...Jess warned us the futon was "hard" she wasn't kidding...it was like sleeping on a piece of plywood. Amy and Joe got the air mattress, and we all know how sleeping on one of those can be. Saturday morning came and we went to breakfast, got my husband a haircut, and bought Joe a new outfit. Finally it was time to get ready for the wedding. We all clean up very nicely and off we went!

The wedding was short and sweet and I don't think it could have gone any better! Jess did survive the day without getting sick or peeing all day(although maybe she did at the reception). The food was decent and then we danced a bit and finally we drove the long way home! We were all very glad to be on our way...after 8 hours in the car in 2 days. It was great to also sleep in my own bed!
