Last weddings for the Summer

Our two last summer weddings happened to fall on the same day, August 18th. The first was my cousins in the morning in which we were very involved. I was acting wedding coordinator and Rod was on set up and break down. I have long been frustrated with friends and family assuming that I love to perform. I did quite a bit as a child, but have long since retired this pleasur. As I stepped into the role of wedding coordinator I realized that what I loved and infact still do love is this practical way of acting. Once I put on the shoes, there was no going back! Everyone was looking to me for direction and instruction. If I didn't know the answer I had to make one up on the spot. I was playing a role that carried weight, but didn't have an audience. Thankfully the wedding went smoothly and beautifully.

By one pm we were all three exhausted and ready for a rest, so we stumbled back down to Tacoma(the wedding was in Seattle) and all slept for a few hours before sending G to nana's and R and I freshening up for round two. It was lovely to go to this friend's wedding just the two of us with no jobs to do for anyone. We danced to Etta James.
