We went to Joanna and Bill’s wedding celebration on New Year’s eve, and things went well. It was kind of a strange wedding to be at for me. Joanna and I are the same age (within 5 days) and we’ve known each other since we were 9. That said, when we hit highschool, we each kind of went our own way, and we really haven’t spent a lot of time together in the intervening years. There aren’t a lot of people that I’ve known “forever” like that, that I don’t really know very well at all. Anyway, it was a good wedding, even though we had to duck out early because the music was too loud for William.

It was just kind of strange, because it’s kind of like Joanna is family, and yet, obviously she’s not. Meanwhile, Erin’s cousin Jess is one of Joanna’s friends from way back, so Jim, Judy, Jess and Ryan were all at the wedding too. (In fact, someone introduced me to Ryan despite the fact we’re related - you know who you are.)
