The long and the short of it

(ok, this is actually the e-mail I sent my folks, but it gives the best update really)

Well, we made it to Erie pretty darn easily--it's a straight shot once you get onto I-70, then I-79, then you're in Erie!
Dave's Dad was very impressed with his visit to our house; when we arrived in Erie he told everyone about seeing his first bluebird :)

Dave and I were both exhausted, so it was hard to mingle with relatives and friends that were in for the reception. So we crashed at 11PM. Dave came down from his upstairs nest/room in the morning and gave a knock on my door, and we had breakfast together before he had to go to work at noon.

After that, it was just me and the rest of the family. We watched soaps and I played video games with Jill Marie. At 3:30PM Julie's husband Andrew's mom came over, and we worked on favors for the reception--little feathery butterfulies attached by springs to cards with a dolly parton poem about love being like a butterfly. Very pretty, actually. We enjoyed our craftiness.

More video games, and then at 8PM we picked up dave from work, and had pizza. Then Dave and I watched the TNT epic movie about Ceasar, and that was it for the evening.

It always takes a little while to get comfortable as a guest in someone else's house. But just like Dave, Dave's family is easy to get comfortable being around. And the food is delicious, and they have cable. But mostly, it's great to be around Dave again. We'll see how the week goes!
