This really isn't going to have much knitting content. It's mostly just going to talk about our weekend trip to my sister's (E) wedding.  Wednesday I watched  Kdrama but I'll save any talk of that till another day. Saturday after we got back I watched some podcasts but there was nothing that sticks out.  I'll probably do less of both with the kids home.

So we left Thursday morning after we had doughnuts.  It's about a 2 1/2 - 3 hour drive.  When we got there I saw my some of my family and sat for a bit.  Shortly after that we (me, sister B, sister R and our girl children) went to E's house and started putting together her bouquets and boutonnieres.  The picture at the top is R making E's bouquet. All the flowers were orange.  It was fun to work on this with all the sisters.  

After that we (my family) ran through McDonald's for supper (the kids hadn't really eaten all day) then headed to the rehearsal.  The wedding was in someone's back yard that was about three blocks for where this picture was taken.  After the rehearsal we went back to E's for the rehearsal dinner.   Finally back to my mom's where we were staying.  I stayed up way to late talking to my family, rag rolling my hair, and doing nails.

The next morning my daughter, my sister B and her daughter all went to E's house with all the rest of the girls for hair and make up.  Most of the other sisters were there already and R was in charge of pictures (she got some really good ones). The wedding was at 4:00 and the weather was perfect.  We had to move our car but most of the bridal party walked from the wedding to the receprion.

The reception was pretty good.  They had cupcakes that were really good.  We aren't much of a drinking and dancing family so there was no drinking and little dancing.  The view of the city was wonderful though.  All of my aunts on my mom's side came and some of my cousins that I hadn't seen in about twenty years.  I feel a little like a bad person because I didn't really want to see them.  Not because I don't like them but because I'm not good with people and I don't really like where I am in my life right now (the short version of the weirdness in my head).  I spent most of the reception chasing after my niece, J, because both her mother and father had been given jobs and there was no one to watch her.  By the time we got back to my mom's it was after 9 pm and I was way over tired

We left my mom's about 11:00 a.m. on Saturday and made a stop by Mitsuwa.  I was unfortunately not feeling well from staying up too late and not drinking enough water so we didn't get to stay long.  I had some bibimbap for the first time.  My husband had ramen and my Amey had sushi.  Sadly my son refused to eat anything and got McDonald's at a rest stop later.  We bought some Japanese candy and then headed home because I wasn't feeling the best and everyone else was tired.  We need to go back when we have more chance to look around because there are some things I really want to get.  

I guess that's about it.  Lots of things that have nothing to do with knitting (I didn't finish the shawl).  I think tomorrow will be back to a normal post.  In general we had fun and we are home safe and sound.  If I get a chance I will probably play WOW today and work on the test knit that has to be done by the 28th.  I hope you were at least a little amused by this post.  Have a nice day.
