My knee hates me for this weekend

Quite a few days!! I am getting back into the land of the living. Friday night, Justin and I went to Clif and Abbie's wedding down in Charlottesville at this wonderful vineyard. The wedding was gorgeous! The weather...was not as gorgeous. It was miserably hot until the storm hit, then it poured down rain. But that let up for the ceremony. The wedding party walked down the aisle with major thunder and bolts of lightning hitting all over the place. I was sitting there trying to decide what to do if it starts to pour....and Justin said we would just wait and watch Clif and Abbie. If they ran, we could...optherwise we were sitting through it. Luckily the weather held for the ceremony and everything was inside. We had a great time.
I even danced (little awkwardly because it was only on one foot, but humerous.) I cannot wait to see pictures! Abbie looked wonderful in her dress and all the little details she has been working on really came together!

We were leaving the reception to get back on the bus (always a great idea!) and you had to walk across this porch that was had standing water on it. I was so careful and got to the last plank and went down face first, so hard that Justin expected a busted open face or missing teeth. Somehow I was okay except for some bruises on my arm. What a lovely exit!!

That night we went out in C'ville with a bunch of people at the Mellow Mushroom. No offense, but I still cannot stand C'ville. People just are so snobby. We were at the bar and people were getting annoyed with me for being on crutches...uummmm, I am not doing it as a fashion statement, I cannot walk!

When you haven't really drank in awhile, you shouldn't start your evening back at a vineyard. I had the worst hangover on Saturday morning!! But at least we had a handicap room at the hotel so I got to shower all by myself!!

Then we got on the road and headed to Newport News for wedding #2. We got to my grandmother's, changed and left with my mom to go to the church I grew up at. This wedding was insane! The bride was a good friend of mine growing up and my mother went to high school with the bride's mother....and my grandparents introduced the bride's grandparent's to one another. So needless to say, there is some history. The wedding was gorgeous. I really loved her dress and the bridesmaid dresses!

Then we went to the reception at the James River Country Club, where I grew up swimming, playing golf, tennis, etc. This reception was amazing. Money was not an issue. I would say there were 500 people at the wedding. There was more food than we could even begin to taste and drink bars every where. It was magnificant. But I would say the thing that was the most over the top would be the firework show that they had that evening. What wedding has fireworks?!?! Anyway, it was a great wedding to get to attend!

So yesterday we drove back to Falls Church. TOOK FOREVER! Then went to see the Bourne Ultimatium. Loved it! We are addicted to all the Bourne movies so I was so happy this one is out. It was really good. Then after the movie we went home and pain set in. I mean PAIN. I guess I did too much this weekend (well I knew I was doing too much, but I didn't really have any choice). It was as painful as the night I came home from the hospital. So I slept upstairs in the day bed again and got a little bit of sleep, but made it into work for this morning.

I have physical therapy in a few minutes. I am dreading this. They are going to hurt me. :(
