Home Again.

We made it home unscathed. Another great round of flights - this time we didn't even have time to eat our sandwiches before we had to get on the plane in Chicago. But that was okay, we ate them while watching some jerkwad stand up and argue with a flight attendant. Sir, arguing with a flight attendant while on the plane is like arguing with a cop on the side of the road... either you do what they say, or you end up in handcuffs. SIT DOWN.

Ellie was excited to see me... about as excited as she gets when I come home from the gym on a weekend morning, which is to say, not that much. It makes me feel like this was the perfect time for us to get away on our first trip. Elizabeth is old enough to be independent, eat real table food, etc, but still too little to understand the concept of time or absence. For all we know, she thought we were in Pittsburgh for 15 minutes! It was great to be reunited with our little sweet Lovebug tonight, and especially nice that Tim has tomorrow off so we can sort of ease back into regular life again.

Sara and Dad sent me constant photo updates on Friday and Saturday - this is my favorite of the bunch. Who doesn't love your own bath water?

The boys of Yorba Linda, pre-ceremony. The wedding was a BLAST, as we knew it would be. Everything involving Rocco is a party. Tim and I were the first people out on the dance floor, though he was nowhere to be found during the anniversary dance, and then Cory had to step in and gallantly escort me around the floor for the final dance, because Tim was once again using the restroom. We stayed out at the after party until 2, then got a hot dog and some french fries from the Original, and sacked out like happy, tired logs. My legs hurt from dancing today, and my knee hurts from where I fell off the curb on the way to the reception (before drinking!) Tim again, was nowhere to be found, but Jake helped me up. Good news: even though I broke the skin, I didn't rip my tights!

Rocco and his beautiful bride Kristin during the ceremony at Heinz Chapel (also beautiful.) They were both nearly vibrating with joy, and it was so sweet to see Rocco's face scrunch up with emotion when he saw Kristin coming down the aisle. A great time was had by all!
