IT'S OFFICIAL!

Sorry, I haven't had time to post. I've been a little busy. The last of my relatives just left this evening. Yep, we've had a full house the whole weekend. Now, I'm leaving for D.C. in the morning for the next 4 days. Wow, happy honeymoon, eh?! Anyway, it's been a whirlwind and I'm exhausted, but everything went great (well, except for my dress breaking before the reception--it still didn't look as bad as the one on my last post), and by then, I really didn't care that much. We still had a perfect day and a lot of fun! I would post a picture but I didn't take any on my own camera--again, a little busy.

On Saturday, we had a family BBQ at our house once we got back from the hotel. It was a lot of fun, even if I burnt a lot of the food. Oops! After dinner (and cake), we opened the rest of our wedding presents, and then we played some games. It was a fun night.

Yesterday, my 2 aunts & 2 cousins and I went all the way to up to Silver Lake. I wanted them to see the sand dunes. We rode on the dune cruiser and that was a blast (literally!). No better way to experience it if you don't have your own dune buggy. We even got to walk along the beach of Lake MI. We made the traditional stop at Whippy Dip for some treats, then ventured to a road side stand for fresh peaches, blueberries and sweet corn. Yum! We furthered on to Grand Haven where the girls wandered all the way out into the Lake while the rest of us sat on the beach with the waves hitting our feet. It was super windy and almost chilly, but we didn't care. We were able to hit a few shops before they closed, then made it home for a BBQ (again).

Today, we visited John Ball Zoo before I had to run 1/2 of the group to the airport. The rest of us spent a few hours at Woodland Mall, then we stopped by to pick up my hubby (ha--how funny to say that!) and we thought we were going to have a nice dinner at Village Inn Pizza Parlor on the way to taking them to the airport. Too bad they forgot to make our pizza and we were there almost an hour! We had to get it boxed as we ran to the car so they wouldn't be late catching their flight. Bummer! It all worked out ok, I think (haven't heard from them so I assume they got out ok).

Now, I'm off to do my own laundry and pack for my own trip. A couple of days of R&R. I won't know what to do with a full day tomorrow by myself. I have a feeling the king bed and room service are going to get a lot of use!

Damn paparazzi must have got me while I was giving my dress a test run around GR earlier this week!
