wedding weekend recap

Thursday
Because of the Jeremy Travel Curse, we flew to Washington (and then drove to Idaho) on the day that security was suddenly tightened and no liquids were allowed on board. Fortunately, we breezed through the lines at our first airport and only experienced a few minor delays at our second. The second terminal was completely equipped with wireless Internet, I noticed, so I could have blogged from there, but, alas, I had no computer.

Friday
By the next day, I began to enjoy having no computer. As much as I love reading and writing on the Internet, there is something wonderful about a temporary de-wiring and unwinding. We had a lovely, slow-paced lunch (with Hannah! :) ) and time to swim at the hotel pool before the rehearsal. Soon, several college friends arrived whom I hadn't seen in a very long time, and I was surprised how easily we all fell back in to our old patterns of conversation and inside jokes. It was like someone had pressed the pause button for a couple of years and suddenly released it; it was so easy to talk and laugh and pretend for a time that we were still in the dorms, not worrying about a time when we would separate and go different ways.

Saturday
Andrea and Adam's wedding was beautiful, and beautifully them. The setting, the ceremony, the souvenir bookmarks--everything reminded me of the two of them. The day sped by with love and dancing.

Sunday & Monday
Our last few days were quieter and even more low-key. It was kind of strange to be in Andrea and Hannah's hometown without either of them being nearby, but we made it through just fine with a combination of coupons, luck and complacent laziness. ;) Justin, Jeremy and I flew back on Monday morning on one plane that made four stops (Jeremy exited after the third). I was happy to be home, but also a bit sad that I wasn't still in the same location as everyone.

Now if someone could develop a Star Trek style transporter, I would save up the $$ to buy it. (C'mon, we pretty much already have tricorders; it's time to move on!)
