Wow I'm wiped but wow it was a good weekend. It was kind of tense at times but I think I'm figuring out why I am the way that I am with Rich. But he and I need to talk about that before I start posting on it on the net.

My family is NUTS! And with anyone else I think I would have been nervous about how my family would react and how the person I brought would react to my family. However, it's Rich. I knew they'd all love him and I knew he'd have fun with my family. It's so funny because on Saturday morning when Rich was in the shower Aunt Gayle was like, "He's such a nice guy, I can understand why you care so much about it." And at the wedding Aunt Robyn said practically the same thing. And I know Rich worried that I've told my family mean things about him... but no matter how we're fighting I don't think I could ever bring myself to say anything bad about Rich. If I say anything it's just that we had a fight, it sucks, and I'm upset. Anyway.

On Saturday Rich and I kinda wandered around and ended up at the mall for food and to wander some more. We did a lot of driving around, something Rich loves, and I'm happy just being with Rich. The traffic in Illinois is INSANE, I guess I've never noticed because generally when we're there we don't do a lot of driving and I can't remember traffic from when I was younger. So the traffic was a little annoying, I found myself wanting to yell "GO GO GO, why are you going SO DAMN SLOW????"

The wedding was SO much fun! It was my typical family, being loud and crazy, eating and drinking a lot. The food was AWESOME and, as typical of my family, there was too much. I can't even think about how many drinks I had but the next morning we decided they must have been watered down because they seriously didn't hit me that much. Interesting. We danced. I love dancing with Rich. I love being in his arms, I love looking up at him... oh it was just heaven. I feel like I'm 7 years old with a total crush. My heart was doing little flutters, lol. I danced with Grandpa, too, who is a GREAT dancer! He was out on the dancefloor A TON and it was hysterical! Oh it was just fun. I had a great time.

Yesterday Rich and I, after saying thanks and goodbye to Aunt Gayle, drove into Chicago and kinda just tooled around. I really want to take another trip there when I can really go see things; head to the museums and just enjoy myself. We also met up with a friend of Rich's, Emily, and it was cool to wander around her campus real quick. She seems like a nice girl. After Chicago we headed to Grandma and Grandpa's for an AWESOME dinner. Yay to my family for keeping me and my friends well fed, lol.

I'm keeping this entry kinda short just because I want to just keep the memories in my head and jusy replay them, lol. I'm sure I'll have a few pictures to post soon and I'm sure I'll be gabbing about it more. I have thinking to do about Rich but I feel good after all that happened this weekend. Like I've figured things out a little more. More on that later, though.

Time for a walk! I just want to say THANK YOU RICH for coming with me and helping me have a great weekend. You're the best!
