Vows of love, fidelity I got a good night's sleep last night, but many many dreams. Lacee and her little girl friend spent the night with us, and I fear that they have discovered boys. And the boys, of course, have discovered them. I am so glad that I had two boys, their problems I more or less knew how to handle. I got up about 07:30, really hungry, so I had a PB sandwich and a glass of milk... and went back to bed until 10:00. That was pretty nice. I kept trying to hurry Karen along, and she was dawdling around like we had all of the time in the world. Heh, right. It was at least a two-hour drive to the church in KC, and I really wasn't sure how to get there, even though I'd printed maps from Mapquest.com. And it was 13:00, and I thought that the ceremony was at 15:00. I finally rushed her into the car at 13:15, and then got out the invitation (which we thought that we'd lost, but Karen finally found it last night) and sure enough, the ceremony was at 18:00. I felt like a fool, of course, but I'd put 15:00 in my PDA when we originally got the invite. So we had a nice, relaxed trip up to KC, checked into the hotel and went out looking for food. Drove down Metcalf and I remembered the Longbranch Steak house, and we found it and had a nice meal there. And then we got lost, but eventually found our way to the church. It was a nice ceremony, except for all of the preacherly stuff, of course. Josh and Lisa make a nice couple. Got lots of pictures here When we sat down in the church, Lisa saw us and tears started running down her cheeks, and I have to admit, mine too. But she was in the midst of taking pictures, and we didn't really get a chance to talk to her until the reception. And we got lost going to the reception too, naturally. Finally asked some guy in a residential neighborhood how to get there... we were only a few blocks away, it turned out. We only stayed until about 22:00 at the reception... they served a nice meal, but no free beer, darn it. It was pretty emotional, seeing Lisa get married. She had lived with us for a couple-three years, and we really got attached to her. And now it's way past my bedtime, and the bed and Karen await.

Love will always win.
