Fink & Sarah's Wedding weekend

This past weekend Adam and I headed back to MI for Fink & Sarah's wedding. Because we procrastinated in purchasing the tickets we had to fly out of JFK to get a flight for under $500. I took a half day at work on Friday so that we could catch the 4:00 flight. Driving into the city to go to the airport is quite a pain in the ass, but JFK was actually a really nice airport. We parked in the economly lot and took a shuttle bus to the airtrain station. We got to the airport with plenty of time. Our flight arrived into Detroit on time and I my mom and sister picked us up. I was so excited to see my mom. I'm not sure if I saw my parents this much when I was in college, but I was only 1 & 1/2 hours away, so it was nice to know if I wanted to see my family, I could. Now, it's definately not as easy, but I get so excited to see everyone. We hung out with my parents on Friday and got up early to get ready for the wedding.
The wedding was in East Lansing at 1:30, and when we arrived to Kellogg at noon our room wasn't ready. We ended up going to Emily and Mike's hotel room to change and get ready. It felt like 11F all over again, all 4 of us in 1 bathroom.
The ceremony was gorgeous, and Sarah looked so beautiful. We were all pretty geeked about the reception, and I couldn't wait to hang with everyone. I miss all of our friends in Michigan, and maybe one day we'll move back there. The reception was gorgeous, and the "surprise guest" ended up coming at around 9:00pm. Sparty came all the way back from Indiana, and stayed for long enough to do the Macarena (god, I hate that song), air guitar with Jason, and get pictures with everyone. I'll be sure to post them as soon as I get them off Adam's computer.
On Sunday we went to breakfast with Aaron (Adam's brother), Emily and Mike before we headed back to St. Clair Shores for Ashley's birthday celebration.
My mom made a fabulous dinner for everyone, complete with a Hodell's cherry chip birthday cake. Ashley got some awesome gifts and it was good just to be at home with my family... I can't wait for the holidays!!!
That's about all. This week has been pretty uneventful, and with Adam being gone this weekend I don't know what I'm going to do. I told Jim it was his job to keep me occupied as I will go crazy if I have to sit at home alone for anymore than 10 minutes. Tomorrow night is the OC an after missing last weeks episode, I'm looking forward to tomorrow nights show. I'll be sure to post several times in the next week, as I'll have plenty of time to occupy myself. I will try to post pictures from this past weekend too... maybe the one of Adam and I with Sparty!

Midweek Update

This past weekend certainly did the trick. I had so much fun in the city on Friday and Saturday. It was great to see Skippy, and show him around the city. I gave him and his business partner, Lenny, a tour of all the city has to offer. On Friday night we made our way to Times Sqaure and stopped at 4 bars during our round-trip journey. That night, Skippy, myself and Adam all slept together in the king bed Skippy had at the Parker Meridian hotel in Manhattan. We probably would have all slept in a double bed if that's what he had, but luckily we didn't have any problem fitting. On Saturday Lenny and Skip wanted to go to Canal Street, Little Italy and Wall St. We were going to start with Wall St. but that didn't work out too well when we got on the wrong Subway (my fault). We made our way back to Canal, and went to get some purses. Quite an experience... Anyways, we made our way to/from our destinations without any further delays, and 6 purses, and 150 bucks later Adam and I were on the train back to NJ.
I was extremely crabby because we hadn't eaten since noon, and the meal hardly counted as lunch because the portions were so tiny. We finally made it back to Jersey around 6:00pm, and decided that we would probably just stay in as we were exhausted. We went to the Allendale Bar and Grille for dinner, and then hit the sack. I think we were in bed by 10:00pm.
Sunday we went to 9:30am mass, which apparently is the childrens mass. I've never in my life seen children act so terribly in church (hmm... I wonder who I sound like). But seriously, the boy next to me had to be no older than 3 (he was still in diapers) and he kept punching his brother in the face. When the mother tried to handle the situation, he slugged her in the jaw. Church or no church, I think I would have killed him right then and there. Anyways, the remainder of the day was spent washing cars, and cleaning up. We also watched "Batman Begins" which is an excellent movie.
Monday was Halloween and I went to Jim's house for dinner and to chill. It was a good time, and I hope I didn't offend his family too much.
Yesterday was All Saints Day which allowed for another trip to church. I grabbed dinner with Jim, and headed to Adam's for a bit before coming home.
I am so exhausted today... and I don't think this weekend will offer much time to catch up on my sleep. We're heading home to Detroit on Friday afternoon, and have a wedding on Saturday. I went to the mall to look for a new dress, but have pretty much decided that because of financial limitations, I will probably wear one of the hundreds I already have. On Sunday we're going to celebrate Ashley's birthday... I hope she likes her gift. I'm getting my nails done tomorrow, and can't wait for the OC to return tomorrow as well. Looks like tonight is laundry night...
That's about all for now, hopefully I'll have some pictures from the wedding this weekend to post in my next blog.
