Bridges,Squares

Well, we survived our first wedding that we brought Mia to. Ran a little late to the ceremony but MADE IT! Mia looked gorgeous in her blue/white flower print dress with matching color bows she didn't want to wear. As I watched my cousin walk up the aisle as her now husband waited, it reminded me of when I got married and how excited I was to see Jill in her wedding dress. The feeling is truly amazing being the guy standing there awaiting the person you love most who's about to join hands and marry you. I remember like it was yesterday...Anyway, Mia did quite well in the church. Kept saying "Hi" and "Bye Bye" a lot, while making stink faces at my family. Always fun. Towards the end of the ceremony she started to get a little bored and fidgety so I walked her out and in a few minutes it was over with. After a nice nap, Mia was ready for the reception later in the evening. She enjoyed clapping with everyone during the speeches, got a VERY nice plethora of food and devoured her own slice of wedding cake. What kid doesn't love wedding cake or cake in general?

After words, her and I danced to the Beatles (my father in law would be SO proud) she had such a great time walking around the dance floor and trying to sing along. Overall, the evening was great. Couldn't stay too long because she was uber tired, but the next wedding Jill and I will most certainly dance :)  Just gotta survive the drive to Peoria first.

Hooray, Jill and I got the day off together :) Woke up a little later then usual which was great because Mia slept well last night. Sadly, it was raining though this morning but thankfully not for too long. I was able to finish cutting our grass. towards the end of it, Mia and Jill came out and Mia was waving like a crazy kid. Totally made me smile.

Was hoping to complete my dog portrait this week, but I don't know if that'll happen. I've got like, 14 hours left of work to probably get into it. maybe 10. I was approached recently to play drums in an all-cover band. I just don't think it's in the cards to happen. These guys wanna play 40 songs and half are bands I really could care less about. If I ever consider playing in a band again, I want it to be mainly original stuff, not Pearl Jam or any songs about cowboys. Music is very important to me, and I want to be a part of something creative, original and in vein of what I like. Plus the guys/girls have to be real down-to-earth. I can't play with grade-A deuchebags anymore. Totally sucks the fun out of playing and performing.

That's all for tonight-:)
