Weddings and a Weekend in East Brunswick

Friday was Kristen’s sister’s wedding, wedding #3 of my lifetime attendance record.  It was in this country-esque, victorian hall called “The Shadowbrook” in Shrewsbury.  The food was good, as promised by Kristen herself, but more importantly the atmosphere and friends around were better.  Sam was introduced to a few more members of my extended family, namely the Blewitts and ,now, Greenes.  She had a great time, and I was glad to see her having fun.

Saturday I spent the day shopping with my mom and brother.  We went over to the new Toys ‘R Us on Route 18, which is doing surprisingly well.  Timing is everything, I suppose.  Inside were droves of ill-informed mothers and fathers, pestering any red-shirted employee they could find about, “What’s that game with the guns and cars?” or, “Which games are the best for a 4-year old boy who chronically wets the bed”?  You get the picture: tis the season.

Sunday was spent at the apartment, cleaning and cleaning.  Sam and I had a long discussion, and we’re at a much better place now in our relationship.  After sleeping on the floor in my old room, on my sister’s incredibly uncomfortable bed, it felt good to curl up next to her and fall asleep in our own place again.
