A months' worth

Holy Shit! I can't beleive I haven't posted anything here in like a month. So I guess I have a lot to talk about. but first I have to go turn the fan off....

OK

First off I will tell you that I am so relieved that this last week is over. It was the most stressfull week I have had in a long time. With the wedding and the funeral, all wihtin a few days, I was wiped out.
The wedding (my brothers and his "significant other") went well, I felt like a million bucks but after looking at the pictures I looked like a million pounds. Sheila looked very pretty in her dress. Her and my mother tried to oh, fool me?? I don't know. I had helped Sheila pick out a dress, and apparently she didn't really like it, so she returned it and bought a different one. I thought they were both beautiful. I don't know what the point was of them not telling me, they kept it a "secret"?? Why, I have no clue? oh well like I said, I am glad its over.
Oh, I should also say that with out the help of my boy and I their wedding would have totally sucked in the music department. Jon and I stayed up way late to put together a CD of tunes that were totally apropros. The CD that my mother bought had some shitty ass music on it. And I had to download "Here comes the bride" because it wasn't on there. Your welcome.
The reception was, well, how do you say it....empty. Let's see. The only person on Sheila's side of the family that was there was here Grandmother. All of Jeff's (my) family was there that live in the area and a few of their friends. They had about 30 tables all set up and pretty. Only about 8 of them were used. I felt bad for them.
I figure if she hadn't burnt so many bridges with her family and wasn't such a lying manipulative person, she may have had more people there. I guess it didn't help that Gerry had died and then more people from Quinn and my family would have been there but you can't stop life.
I danced up a sweat and had a good time. Bean danced to all but one song and Quinn even danced too. I got Jon to dance one with me too, that was awesome. We left early because bean was tired and it was about time for me to go home anyway.

About Gerry, he had died on Friday at the Airventure show in Oshkosh. He was landing his P-51 plane and it hit the back of another, flipped and blew up. The video is here. There are many other accounts of it online if you are interested. Just search Gerald S Beck. He was a good Uncle. I think he was evena a better dad. He love ice cream and cookies. He was a staunch Republican and he and I had a standing joke that he was my favorite Republican. The service at the air museum was wonderful. Every one did a fabulous job. Thank you all.

On to other news, Quinn and I went to the CarCraft Summer Nationals a few weeks ago. It was so fun. I love driving around in his Mustang. People just dig it. Their were so many cars there it was un real. We walked around blocks and blocks and saw all sorts of cars. just awesome. You can see some of the pictures in Flickr.

I took my Aunt Jo out kyaking on the lake on Monday. That was fun. I told her that she would get sunburnt and she was all...I don't burn, hahaha we both got it.

Well we had fun anyway. So that's all I can think of now so I will write again soon.
