Fun and exhaustion

I am SO tired this morning. I'm at my limit again, I've gone to bed way too late that past couple of nights and I'm not doing well at all. I need my sleep in a bad way. I can't wait until this day is over.

The weekend was lots of fun. Friday night Melanie and I headed to our friend Richs neck of the woods, by the beach, for his birthday get together. He decided to have it at a little bar and grill a few blocks from the beach. Great atmosphere and nice people. It was fab seeing Rich again, haven't seen him in almost a year! He and I talked and talked about wedding plans. He is going to be a huge help, as he is head caterer at a hotel and plans weddings all the time. Ron and I plan to get together with him in the next couple of weeks.

Saturday morning Ron and I had an appointment to check a nice hotel that's near my work. It was much better than the last place we visited a few months ago. Amazing what a difference a person who knows what they're doing makes. I barely had to ask any questions! We both liked it a lot so it's going to be a big consideration...so far. Things are moving right along now and I don't feel as stressed about it anymore. I JUST WANT TO GET MARRIED! WEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Saturday afternoon we took my dad to a car show for Father's Day. My dad has been retired for a couple of years and has rebuilt an old volkswagen bug convertable. He is ready for his next project, hopefully a hotrod. This show was perfect for him, he had such fun looking at all the old cars, talking to people, getting ideas... He and Ron talked a lot while I ran around frantically snapping pictures of AMAZING cars. So many photo ops, a photographers wet dream. I'm no photographer, but I did get some great shots. Including one of Ron and I, IN THE SAME PICTURE. FINALLY. The show was a great success!

Sunday, Ron and I stayed home and tootled around the house. We didn't go to the family father's day thing because it was far away and we'd taken my dad out the day before. It was a nice change from the usual meeting of the family at some restaurant. It was such a hot day and I had gotten burned on Saturday, so I was just hot and tired. And hot. And tired. Bleh. But we got a little bit done and then rested most of the day. Then we started watching movies, listening to music, playing on the computer... Didn't get to bed until 2 a.m.!

Okay, I'm tired and I have to get some work done. I'll leave ya with some nice pictures from the show.



LOOK! He does exist! And we're TOGETHER!



Dad and future son-in-law bonding. AWWwwwww!



No, he just can't smile for a close up!



I'm roddin'!



It's a silver bullet!



Ooooooooooooooh, peeeeeeeeerdy!



Look at that crazy beehive lookin' thing!



This one turned out just plain funky. That's the reflection of the car behind me as I was taking a shot of the very realistic flames on the side of another car. I've never seen flames like that!

Okay, that's it... Later!
