Hello, Shakers! I’m back from my weekend of wedding hijinks. The wedding was simple and beautiful, my sister looked smashing, and I was mocked incessantly by my new brother-in-law for crying during the rehearsal and the wedding and my toast. I just couldn’t help myself; I only have one sister, who I love hugely, and seeing her so happy and getting hitched to such a swell guy brought out my sentimental side. What can I say?
I also got to meet Mr. Bug’s (so named because I call my sister Bug) extended family, who were all incredibly nice. My nephew has 9 great new cousins, and new aunts, uncles, and grandparents, who he just adores—and soon, he’ll officially have a dad, too, when Mr. Bug legally adopts him. Truly the merging of two families, and a truly joyous occasion.
Enormous thanks to Misty and Patrick, who did an amazing job this weekend—I had lots of good stuff to read upon my return! You guys rock—thank you so much.
Keep on posting tonight, if you like. As for me, I’ve got to catch up on my blog reading, and I’ll see you all tomorrow.
