Jes and Beak went up the hill…

dsc_8617a.jpgOn Saturday evening, Jes and I went to Frank and Kathleen’s Wedding. Frank is one of Jes’ buddies from his Xpedior days so it was like a mini-reunion for him. The wedding took place at The Fairmont, which is located on California, which means it’s at the top of the hill. We took Muni from our condo, got off at Powell, and then HIKED up the hill. At one pointm it got really steep (looked like it was a 30-degree angle) and was pretty rough – especially since I was wearing 3-inch heels that slipped a little with every step. Those little rubber nubbins on my running shoes could have really come in handy. When we finally made it up the hill, we barely made it to the ceremony and we were pretty winded and sweaty…gross.

The wedding was pretty extravagant with the Grand Ballroom decorated to the nines. Frank got pretty emotional at the altar and Kathleen looked simply beautiful. We had a pretty good time and everyone got to catch up with each other. Luckily, we got a ride home and didn’t have to make the trek back down the hill in a drunken stupor.

Jack’s Pre-Party

I went to Michelle’s Baby Shower on Saturday afternoon. As I had written in my card to them, I still can’t believe our melter friends are going to be parents. Oh well…I think they’ll figure it all out by the time Jack is 6 months old. Haha. The shower was just down the street from my home at Michelle and Ryan’s loft. It was great to see Michelle and Ryan’s moms so excited about the arrival of the baby. There were games, food, and of course, lots of gifts. The baby is expected to arrive on November 3rd and we should be collecting our $1000 very soon…muhahahaha.

Update (9/30/07): The photos are ready for your viewing pleasure.
