Jackson Weekend

This past weekend we went to Jackson, MS for Christy and Stephen’s wedding. Stephen is Ryan’s (my brother in law’s) brother. We had a really good time. Christy’s dad did a lot of the ceremony. I’m assuming he is some sort of minister. He had some really good stories.

Haley was in attendance as well. This was her third wedding in three months. She didn’t do so well. She ended up having to be taken out right before the parents and grandparents came in. It was a close call. 5 minutes later and we’d have been taking her out during the bridal procession. Not good.

For dinner on Saturday night we ate at Huntington Grill for dinner to celebrate Laura’s birtday. It was quite the treat.

We also learned on Saturday that the Bulldogs are going to the college world series. They knocked down Clemson in 2 games to clinch the Series berth. They had record crowds in attendance in Starkville. In fact, even on Friday they had the largest crowd to ever be at any NCAA Super Regional. Impressive.

The main thing that has been consuming my time lately is painting the house. I’ve been working on it an hour or two most days this week. I pressure washed it on Sunday and have been scraping and re-caulking all the joints all week. I just finished today…finally. I’ll probably get nearly all of the painting done this weekend. We have a cookout to attend on Saturday and another one on Sunday. Also, I’ve got my first Father’s day coming up! Hopefully, though, I’ll get it all done except for the chimney. That is going to need some serious work. We’ve got a ‘touch’ of rotten wood up there so I’ll spend some time fixing that. I always get paranoid on the roof.
