Whoa! You were up late! I had taken a nap earlier in the evening. I was just exhausted after doing errands all day. Didn't get up until about 9:30pm, so I'm just now getting sleepy again.

Gotta do some packing tomorrow. Have been buying new cabinets for the two bathrooms the last few days. Folks say that kitchens and bathrooms are the things that really sell houses, so we're fixing ours up before we put it on the market. Got in stock ones from Home Depot for the kids' bath; SirKit is re-routing the plumbing to accomodate the center sink vanity top, then he and Joseph will install the new pieces tomorrow or the next day. I still need to paint places on the wall that had been covered by the old vanity, since this one is shorter than the other one.

Ordered new cabinets for our bathroom that are really nice. Also got them from HD, and they're a dark color, Java, in a Shaker style door design. It's gonna be sorta Asian inspired. It's a small room, so I'm trying to keep the lines clean and non-fussy. They won't arrive for couple of weeks, though, so we're gonna get the kids' bathroom back together, and we'll all use that one while we tear out the vanity from our bathroom, and get the walls and trim painted so that when the new cabinets arrive, we can put them right in!

I'm so glad the hitchin' went off without a hitch! Heh heh!!!

Oh it was perfect!! It was everything a wedding should be: a complete family affair. No hyperactive wedding planners with headsets, no bridezillas. Jen's family did it all - the dress, the cakes, the decorations. Her brothers grew all those sunflowers ( they were *beautiful* ) and were excellent ushers. They worked the reception like pros. I tell you, that's one impressive family. So is Talon's! Absolutely delightful folks!

And anyone who pooh-pooh's homeschoolers for their supposed lack of social skills are utter fools. I just met two amazing families who represent everything a family should be. Just amazing.

And yes, the shoooooooes raised a couple eyebrows. We took those pics vey early before most of the revelers arrived to avoid any scandal. Once we explained a little bit, the interested individuals said, "Oh, that makes sense!" Meaning they're well-acquainted with our collective sense of quirky. Heh.
