Note: this weekend was in Houston because that is where the wedding was - for those of you who missed that.
I stayed home from work Thursday, and instead worked from home in the morning, and actually had a pretty productive morning at the same time. Mid-day, Scott’s mom came over and took the two of us to the airport to Houston. Scott came prepared for the ride with food, entertainment and liquor – apparently, the things necessary for a flight. Upon arrival in Houston-Hobby, we only knew that we had the address for the hotel we were going to. An $80 cab ride later, and we were there! Yes, you read that right. If we’d only known where it was, we could’ve saved some money and just rented a car, but we weren’t so lucky. The rehearsal dinner was that night, and after checking in and getting ready, we headed over there. It was a nice dinner with probably 50 people. They’d rented a restaurant, and served Mexican food for everyone. There was a huge showing of the GT friends, which was really nice. After dinner, we hung out for a little while at Chris’s family’s house, and then went back to the hotel and went to the hot-tub to kill some time. In the morning, the guys got up to play golf, but one of the guys, Jake, didn’t go, and we went for a great run. It was about 4 miles, so I was really happy and satisfied with it. When we got back, the rest of us hung out by the pool, and that afternoon, Josh came too. At night was the wedding. The wedding was beautiful. The ceremony was outside, and the weather was perfect. After the ceremony, we all had these little cards that we opened, and inside were butterflies. It was beautiful. Inside there were cocktails for about an hour and then a dinner. I think everyone had a lot of fun. The next day, after attempting to see the (non-existant) Davinci Inventions exhibit, and not finding the Art-Car festival, we watched a bit of TV and hit up the REI spring sale, had lunch at a BBQ place, and then made our way into town for the ballgame. Chris’s family and Kevin’s parents and some of the friends all went to the game. We started out in the upper deck behind home, and then joined them on the lower level right field line. I couldn’t believe that after hosting this wedding all weekend, and planning to leave for California the next day, Chris and Kevin came to the game. It was nice seeing them a little calmer, and out of the wedding mindset. After the game, we drove back to the hotel with a few of the other friends, and then went out to a diner to eat something. All I wanted to do upon returning to the hotel was sleep. I needed it. But I didn’t get too much sleep and my flight left again from Hobby today, so I had to be up and packed in the morning. All in all it was a really good weekend, and I had a great time. I think most other people did too…
Congratulations Kevin and Chris!!
