weddings

Isaac and I have five weddings to go to this year.  We've already gone to two of the five.  
One was for one of Zaq's friends.  That one was out near Philadelphia.  It was a nice weekend away.  
The second was Isaac's uncle.  We rode together with Isaac's sister and her son to that one (that would be the previously mentioned adorable 13 month old).  Since we rode with them we ended up leaving earlier than we normally would have.  But when the ceremony and the reception are in the same place which is a room with relatively no move around space, keeping a 1 year old in his seat the entire time is rather difficult.  He just wanted to go, go. go but there just wasn't the space for it.  That plus no naps made for a rather unhappy baby with how things were.
The third is this Saturday for one of my college roommates.  During my 4 years at Thiel I believe I had 7 roommates.  The wedding we are going to this weekend is for one of my favorite roommates, Emilie.  I haven't seen her since I graduated in 2003.  
The fourth is next Saturday for Isaac's college roommate.  I've only met him once or twice, one of the times being at our wedding, but that should be a good weekend.
The fifth is in October for one of Isaac's former coworkers.  There is one bad thing about that one though.  Last year Isaac and I got to go to Showeast which is the theatre convention in Florida that is similar to the one we go to in Las Vegas.  Well, Ed said we could go to that again this year, but it is the week leading up to the wedding and we had already been planning that and a weekend at Disney before we found out about the wedding.  We still haven't figured out what we are going to do.  That week is looking like it will be our only vacation this year.  And trust me when I say Mon-Thurs is not a vacation.  Yes, we aren't at work, but we are there for work, and this is a convention that has you moving all over the place one thing right after another.  So we'll have to wait and see what we come up with.
I just can't believe that we have five weddings this year!  Last year we had three (I thought we maybe would have four, one of my suitemates in college was getting married and I had invited her to my wedding).  Two of the weddings were July 7 and the other two were both on the same day in September.  That is really rough.  I had to choose between one of my bridesmaids or a cousin for the July 7th weddings.  (I ended up going to the bridesmaid's wedding because I had known about her wedding since before my wedding.  I didn't even know my cousin was engaged until I got the wedding invitation!)  Isn't weird how things always seem to go in spurts?
