Our house is still a mess, one of the kittens (Seal) is still sick, but getting much better. Our house is still dusty and the furniture is everywhere. We got the estimate back for the reception at our home. Let me just say that we could've had the damn reception at the Plaza Hotel for the price they wanted to charge for installing a tent in our backyard. Quick change of plans. We had a friend of a friend pull some strings and get us in this national historical Victorian home (complete with ghosts- cool!) for our reception. I'm SO excited. We went today to check it out. We have access to all rooms, which are totally in Victorian style, we have a garden, and a basement with card tables, etc. This home was built in the 1850's and belonged to a rich family (the Keltons). It was built for the soul purpose of being a stop on the underground railroad. The owners were diehard abolitionists. God, I love northerners! So we've had a pretty stressful week. And on top of it all, we fly out to Minneapolis for Lindsey's best friend's wedding this morning at 6:10 am. Yes, that's when the flight leaves. The wedding's not 'til Friday night, so we'll be sleeping all day today when we get in. At least we're flying. I swore I'd never drive it again. I SO don't feel like traveling. And I've been in this really bitchy mood for no reason.............
