Yesterday's wedding

The wedding cost me $670 and five days and here's what I got out of it:
  • To explain myself to Will
  • To play an important role there
  • Some flirting that soured
  • To see how it is to be a college kid with good friends
  • Many hugs from my kids
  • Expressions of well-wishing from others
  • Time on the beach with Maggie
  • Some mediocre dancing
  • To have Rachel put makeup on me
  • To put a boutonniere on Sam and on Ben
  • To experience feelings of generosity
  • Some time with Will and Cassie before anybody else was there
  • To see my kids efforts to put me at ease (wish they didn't need to)
  • To attempt to bond with Cassie's mom
  • A sweet thank-you note from Cassie and Will
  • A name tag that has my name spelled right
  • To spend time with all of my kids
  • To provide my support for something I can really get behind
  • Practice on social interaction. Time with other human beings.
  • One West Coast Swing dance with a somewhat drunk Rachel.
  • Some pretty good french toast
  • Some decent pictures of redwood forest
  • A review of humboldt county as a place to live
  • A personal talk with Rachel
  • Time alone with Will
  • To see Maggie dripping with thick mud
  • A picture of Maggie lying in the ocean
