I’m a Bridesmaid!

My dear friend Teresa is getting married in June and I’m in her wedding!  Yay!  As her big day approaches, there’s been a lot going on.  On Saturday, I met up with T, her mom, and the maid of honor for her gown fitting and got a preview of her wedding dress and veil.  She looked so lovely and we were all very excited for her.  I’m not going to give away her dress but here are her shoes.  They’re going to get dyed deep purple like my dress.

Here is the dress I chose out of the 6 silk chiffon J. Crew options.  I had to guess my dress size since trying them on with this big ol’ belly wasn’t going to work.  Hopefully, I’ll be able to fit this thing after Kumquat arrives.

On Sunday, Jes and I went to Teresa and Aaron’s Wedding Shower that took place at Aaron’s dad’s church.  Yep, she’s marrying a Pastor’s Kid (PK) just like I did.  We attended Sunday service at 10 am, went for a little coffee break and walk around the neighborhood afterward, and then attended their wedding shower at 1 pm.  We hung out with Teresa’s folks who are pretty cool and we met some of the others in the wedding party too.

The wedding will be in Santa Cruz and should be fun!!  I also get to buy Kumquat a little purple dress too!  Yippee!

Late Nights

Dayantha was in SF for the past week for a conference and then he stayed for the weekend.  Krissy also flew up on Wednesday night to join him.  So, starting on Thursday night, we were out late eating/drinking for the next 3 days.  My endurance was definitely tested this weekend.  Thursday night started at B Bar and then we had dinner at Zero Zero until it closed.  The food was tasty, everyone was hammered, and we didn’t get home until 12:30.  I was exhausted.

On Friday night, HH started at 5:30 and Jes went ahead without me while I took a nap first.  It was a good thing I did because we were out for another long night.  Luckily the evening was warm enough to hang out on the patio until 10:30.  It wasn’t until about 11 that we actually ate dinner at a hole-in-the-wall Thai noodle place.  We took the last Muni train back home and I SO was ready for bed.

On Saturday, we started the day with Dim Sum.  With 8 people around the table, we had a feast of dumplings and other tasty dishes.  After an afternoon nap, we went to Lucky Strike to watch the Final Four games and then had a fatty dinner at Pearl’s Deluxe Burgers afterward.  If a huge burger and chili cheese fries weren’t enough, the Masayas went to Bob’s Donut & Pastry Shop to pick up dessert.  They came over and we shared all their famous giant glazed donut along with some donut holes and an old fashioned.  I guess that was a good way to finish 3 late nights but I should probably have salads for the next few days.
