There hasn't really been much news this summer. I've been keeping busy busy... between work, ultimate and a bajillion weddings... I barely found time to turn 30 years old in there!
The quick recap on the trudge weddings:
Laura & Greg's wedding was July 1 in Saratoga. I got to visit Jess (and if she ever sends me the picture of me & Jack, I can show you her lovely little boy!) & Steve and went for a fantastic hike just west of Albany...
Irene and Scott got married July 29, in Hartford, CT (it's about time!). Another gorgeous wedding and a fun weekend!

30 IS THE NEW 20... FOR REAL
posted Saturday, 22 July 2006
I took it like a champ... I say 'bring it on'... 30's have got to be better than the 20's, right?
I celebrated my big 3 oh in the Poconos, with family and friends. My Aunt Deb & Uncle Bill hosted us during the day, while folks kept me up WAY past my bedtime fixing flat tires, playing True Colors and doing some late-night baking at the house we rented around the corner.
Thanks to everyone for making it such a memorable weekend -- I can't think of a better way to have spent my 30th.

HEY NOW... YOU'RE AN *ALL STAR*
posted Saturday, 15 July 2006
Saturday was MCUDL all star day, followed by Jaegro's bachelor party continued... (the boys had done it up in NYC on friday night and invited the gals to join them at the beach saturday night). While we didn't get to chill with Bruce, we did get to eat at the Chat & Nibble (finally) and check out the finer points of Asbury...
Sunday, we headed over to Spring Lake for some beaching... and then over to Pete & Elda's for the best thin crust pizza in the world. Vlad hooked me up with a Snicker's Ice Cream cake and I got to ring in my birthday eve with "the crew", wrapping up a fantastic weekend.

FLOODS AND FIREWORKS
posted Tuesday, 4 July 2006
July 1 was Greg & Laura's wedding in Saratoga Springs. I took a few days off from work and decided to drive to Ithaca and then ride up to Albany with Mike. I was planning to work from Ithaca, but struggled with connectivity. My cell phone reception was spotty and I had trouble getting on line at the local coffee shop. Having Otis with me and not wanting to leave him home alone (bc I know he howls the whole time he is home alone), I was limited in where I could go (and the coffee shop had "free internet" and outdoor seating... too bad I couldn't get it to work). Anyways, we drove up to Albany on Friday, which was easier said than done... it had rained for nearly a week straight and there was massive flooding in NE PA and upstate NY - particularly around Binghamton and just north in Sidney, NY. In fact, the flooding washed away a huge section of Rt 88, killing two truckers... it was all very crazy.
Anyways, we stopped by to visit my dear friend Jessica, who just moved back to the Albany area after a brief stint in NC. I finally got to meet her baby boy Jack, who is no longer a baby, but a very active 18 month old... what fun!
Saturday was the wedding. We were joined by friends from RPI - Tate & Susie, Pete & Meg, Jim & Sherry, Bowers & Jamie, Reed & Megan, Benny G & Beth and Alicia. Quite a group... thanks to Pete and Meg for hosting us all... the wedding was lovely and Laura looked beautiful. Greg and his mom danced to Outkast - very cute. The party was fun and I am quite sure that a good time was had by all.
On Sunday, we went for a hike about 30 minutes West of Troy (where 90 & 88 meet). It was an awesome place, with several waterfalls and steep trails that take you right along the river bed. Otis loved swimming (can you see him in the water by the little waterfall?)
We headed back to Ithaca and spent the next few days there. July 4 we went to watch the fireworks at Ithaca college, from the slope at Cornell. Otis came with us and was a big hit... apparently, he is much more fun than fireworks (according to the young girl pounding mgd next to us at the fireworks). Wee... I love fireworks! :)
