Weddings, travel, weddings and more travel!

I have had some very special people in my life getting married....my cousins, Graham last month and this month David. It was so great to be able to make it and share those days with them!

Before I was in Maine for Dave's wedding I had one of my friends and TYR athletes, Micha Burden's wedding, here in Huntington Beach. Actually, they were married in Bali (Jealous?), but they did a reception here...aren't they beautiful!!



Dave's wedding was an adventure, because I was in Seattle for work. I flew into Boston on Thursday night, thank goodness Colleen was there to rescue me and let me come to her place to crash. Brent came and picked me up Friday morning as we embarked on our 5 hour journey to Brooklin, Maine. When we arrive at the Eggemoggin Inn, this is what we see:

Rough, I know!

We were able to see the family, hang out and just be. It was very much enjoyed. Jon, Brent and I thought it would be a great idea to go swimming on Saturday morning, before the wedding. We arrive on the end of the dock, suits and all and touch the water - it was about 60 degrees. We QUICKLY changed our minds! The wedding was beautiful. It was on Jane's family's property and I couldn't of imagined a more perfect venue. Here are some pictures from Dave and Jane's wedding:



I was up in Seattle for the US Open before and after Dave's wedding and I was able to see Jessica and Donovan (I don't have a photo from that trip yet, but we did take one). Even though I have been all over the place, each of the stops brought me around the people I care the most about, and that makes it all worth it!

Now.....
I have come down with a little cold, so taking these few days off, trying to keep it as "little" as I can. I have my PET scan coming up on September 1st, it's a big one. ONE YEAR MARK! I got a nice bill in the mail for it too, $5,000...don't worry, I am sorting it out. It is much easier to deal with them when I'm not 100% drugged on Chemo :) I'll keep you posted on this next round of tests as well as billing. I won't see Dr. Chen until September 8th, so that will be the big day. Keep your fingers crossed.
