Wedding Weekend Recap: Friday

I spent most of the day Thursday and Friday cleaning up the house and getting ready for guests.  On Friday afternoon, Chris came over and we had a great chat.  We caught up on each other's lives and had a wonderful time just remembering things from the past and telling each other about the present.  It was so nice to have a few moments of calm before the crazy weekend really started.  Jon and I made lasagna for the rehearsal dinner, so my job on Friday was to stir the sauce.  It had to be done every 30 minutes for about 7 hours, so I set the timer each time to make sure I did it right!  Poor Chris - he had to deal with me jumping up every 30 minutes to stir the sauce!

Jon's bachelor party was that day, so he was gone most of the afternoon.  After it was over, some of the guys came over and we grilled hamburgers and just sat around and talked for awhile.  Jen came over too, and we ended up sitting on the couch while the guys sat at the table.  It was good to catch up with her too!

At about 10:45 that night, Jon realized he hadn't picked up his tux yet.  He had a moment of panic, but we decided to pick it up the next day and the crisis was averted.

The previous day, Jon's work gave him a party and gave us some great gifts.  Here's a photo of two of those gifts, the really pretty wall sconces!  We put them up the day we got them! And check out the extremely clean living room!  :)
