Festivities Part 2 -Steltenpolooza

Get ready for lots of pictures!

Thursday: I had an open rehearsal I was running, which is usually lame, but it was actually fun because it meant I got a sneak peek at Anna's concerto!

Dress Rehearsal for Anna

That night was her first performance of her concerto with the orchestra. I was so excited to see it - she looked amazing in her dress and of course played beautifully!! I couldn't have been happier for her. :-)

One performance down, two to go!

 Friday: Anna and Bipul's BIG DAY!!! At 11:00am, Andy and I headed to City Hall for two of our favorite people's wedding. I didn't know what to expect, but the small group made it even more special than I could have imagined. Enough talking... here are some pictures!

Dipu, Babs, Anna, and Lisa

Marriage Ceremony

It's Official!

We were surprised that they let us have free reign of the room, which of course meant we had to goof off.

Let's negotiate who will take out the trash in this marriage...

I object!

ORDER IN THE COURT!

Haha, it was a good time. After the ceremony we were off with the new Mr. and Mrs. to Dinosaur BBQ to celebrate!! It was such a great day and so fun to be a part of something so special. And of course Anna and Lisa's parents were there too which was awesome as I always look forward to their visits. :-)

Later that day I headed to Sarah's to curl her hair and then it was time for her birthday celebration with all of her Zumba friends. We had dinner at Selena's (mexican food) which is always delicious, and of course the company was great. Her friends are so nice and funny!

Saturday: Worked Job #2, ran some errands, then watched Anna perform her concerto with the orchestra again. If possible, she sounded even better than Thursday night!! After her concert we headed to TRATA for Anna's and Bips' wedding celebration. Shortly after arriving Anna's dad didn't feel well...I won't go into the details but he ended up spending the night in the hospital and we were all very concerned. I'm so glad he is feeling better!!!

Sunday: Slept in (much needed), went out to breakfast with Andy, then we headed to the RocLiving expo... sort of like a first time home buyers fair. I brought a big purse in hopes to load up on free stuff, but when the moment came I got too nervous to go up to talk to any of the tables. Damn how I wanted that free chip clip from Wells Fargo!!! lol. We were only there for about 10 minutes before we left and headed to Buffalo where we had dinner with his parents and brother. Busy busy weekend.

Monday: Back to work at Job #1. Blah. But after dinner, Andy and I met Anna, Bipul, Lisa, Ben, and Lydia for a night of bowling haha. It was actually really fun and I bowled the best two games ever!!

Lisa willing the pins down

Andy - chest pound of manhood post-strike

My "I got a strike" dance

Anna - come on!

Lydia...obviously a dancer. Check out that leg!

Bips - manly fist bump action

I was LB (Lady B)

DO YOU SEE MY SCORE??? DO YOU SEE HOW MANY STRIKES I GOT IN THAT GAME??? DO YOU SEE HOW THREE OF THEM ARE IN A ROW!?!?!?!?!?!? After bowling we went to the Distillery for half-priced appetizers and dessert. I stayed up waaaay too late but it was a lot of fun.

Tuesday: Right now I'm at Job #1 and soon will be headed to Job #2. I'm really not sure how I'll stay awake - as soon as I am done I'm going to bed. I have an eeeearly morning tomorrow because... I finally have my MRI! I'm so glad it's here. As fun as bowling was, my knees (yes both) started hurting half way through and they haven't stopped since. I want this to be over with!
