Wedding week

My sister Erin (Aunt Erin from this blog) is getting married on Friday. The rehearsal dinner is tonight. Lately bits of personal information have been appearing on Facebook (a social networking website - perhaps you've heard of it?) from Erin and her fiance Jeff about how excited and nervous they are. It's fun to pick up on that excitement. It makes me remember the not so long ago past, right before Kristin and I got hitched. It's a euphoric feeling of total elation and fear all rolled into one. I don't think you feel that exact feeling ever again; having babies is a little different in that there's a higher percentage of the fear factor.

Anyway, we are looking forward to a couple of days of celebrating. I promise I won't get too drunk tonight - when I drink at rehearsal dinners I want to give toasts. There's nothing worse than a rambling, drunk toast. I plan to keep my trap shut and let Erin and Jeff enjoy their moment in the spotlight.

Here's to Erin and Jeff (oops!)
