As warned, I had a very busy weekend. We traveled to Charleston for Michael’s mother’s wedding, and the associated visit with various family members.

Rehearsal Friday night, and then we hung out with Michael’s sister and her family. Wedding Saturday followed by a small family get together at Michael’s sister’s house. Then mandatory (and I do mean mandatory) church attendance, followed by breakfast Sunday morning. Very busy weekend, but it was lovely to see Michael’s sister and her family, and Michael’s grandmother, who is very sweet. And it was of course wonderful to be present for Michael’s mother’s remarriage.

The wedding was very small—family only—but nice. I took pictures, although since I didn’t use the flash during the ceremony, several were unfortunately blurry. The bride and groom were both very happy and looked lovely, as did everyone else in the wedding party. I downloaded the pictures last night, but was too tired to do anything other than delete the super blurry pictures.

As we somehow neglected to bring enough clothes to wear, we ended up running to Kanawha City mall after the wedding to get something else to wear. Joy! It’s WVs tax-free weekend! Everything was on sale! We now have clothes to wear for the rest of the weekend. We also stopped at Flatwoods and at Meadowbrook on the way home, and now Michael finally has enough shirts. I think I’ve had more than enough clothes shopping for the next several months at least. But Michael did look quite sharp, and I was pleased that we could throw together an outfit each that looked quite sharp, in under an hour, from clothes that were on sale.

But mostly, I’m still tired. As pleasant as any trip may be, there’s nothing like coming home to your own bed (and shower and sofa…)
