Wedding Showers

I don't know where to begin. The two wedding showers for Evey were everything we wanted them to be. Saturday we had absolutely perfect weather in East Brunswick, NJ for the outdoor garden party at the Gaertner's house. Sunday was raining in the morning, so Denise opted to move hers indoors. It still worked out great. There was fabulous food at both parties, lots of good friends and family, and plenty of presents for Evey to open. She felt a little overwhelmed with all the attention and generosity of everyone.

We were able to take Lowell and Emily out to dinner last night after the party ended, too. That was a nice bonus.

Since Evey's flight wasn't until late afternoon, we spent a large part of the day today with her, including taking her to lunch at Q'doba's. It's one of her favorite restaurants, but they don't have any near her in CA. Once we dropped her off, we went to the two pet cemeteries near by to visit our four pets' graves. We had to do some weeding at the one cemetery, and we took pictures on our cell phones. Next stop was the kosher market for hamburgers, hot dogs, and all the traditional picnic go-with-its to make an indoor July 4th barbecue dinner. We might even watch the movie 1776.

Only downside to this trip was that a huge filling fell out of one of my upper molars at breakfast this morning. Nasty. It's like half the tooth is missing and I'm feeling a little sensitivity. I will call the dentist first thing tomorrow and try to get an appointment on Thursday, our one day home before flying to Seattle. I'll try to sandwich it around my lymphedema therapy appointment, my primary care doctor appointment, a quick visit to the radiation oncologist, and a mani/pedi. OY! And there must be laundry and repacking. Never a dull moment.
