As of Friday afternoon, Jen and I have a date for our wedding: Saturday, July 26, 2003 at the Vassar Chapel in Poughkeepsie, NY (with reception to follow at Christos). It seems unreal. Actually, now that we have a date, it makes it all seem more real. I’m really excited about it and know that this next year will fly by. Planning continues to come together, and our honeymoon will likely be in the Caribbean.
Saturday morning Jen, Stella, and I picked up Enoch and headed to Sacramento for a weekend to hang out with James. We arrived at his pad in Elk Grove and were greeted by a BBQ, a houseful of folks, and three tiny dogs: Maddie (aka Mad Dog), Zoe, and Tag. Stella loved the little fellas. James cooked up some mean BBQ grubs. After an afternoon of drinking and chatting, we went to Nana’s house to rest, dropped off Stella, then headed out again at 11pm. Going out at that hour is something we rarely do. We hit the Limelight on Alhambra, where we found an unusually high ratio of blonde chicks with fake breasts. Jen gave me a hard time for trying to get Enoch to put the moves on the Britney Spears look-a-look with the hat.
Sunday we slept in a bit, then headed to Roseville for breakfast with Jen’s aunt Liz and cousin Taryn. Mmm…Mimi’s Cafe.
