obligatory bullet-point update
The past month has been very busy in a good way. Kara and I joined MJP and Stephanie at a NH lake house owned by Stephanie's family for a weekend of grilling and lazing about, and we did an Upstate NY wine tour around Lake Seneca the next weekend. This past weekend Mom and Dad were in town for Kara's bridal shower; we have lots of neat new toys that I can't wait to use.
I'm absolutely exhausted, and I can only imagine how much more tired Kara must feel. It's been a good last few weeks but I'm relieved to be sitting on my balcony with Labatt at my feet, trying to decide where we should order pizza from for dinner.
I'm too tired to write much but I guess I can put down some bullet points for some of the recent activities:
- Labatt stayed at mum's for over a week since we were away a couple weekends in a row
- Dad and I ate at several Gloucester restaurants while the shower was going on and while the girls were off doing wedding stuff
- I took MJP canoeing for the first time
- For a shared wedding present for Kara and I, I bought a Canon HF100 HD camcorder
- Mom and Dad brought me up a case of Yuengling and a snack pack of Middleswarth chips
- We saw the best 4th of July fireworks ever when our lake rental next-door neighbors lit off a bunch of fireworks from their dock
- We went to 9 wineries and tried about 70 different wines, and bought 14 bottles
- We had lunch at Tully's in Syracuse on the way back, after walking around the campus
- I had my car washed and had to replace the rack and pinion after the steering started making a horrible noise
- I made homemade chili in the crock pot we got (I know technically you're not supposed to use your gifts until after the wedding, but if Kara bails on me I've got bigger problems than returning the punch bowl to the right person)
- Rabbitt moved on from the old job and got a great position at NYTimes.com
That's a bunch of good stuff. I know there was more, but that's a good start. It's been busy but fun. This weekend we have nothing planned, just to do any wedding stuff that's outstanding, and then the next weekend is Vegas!
