July 20th, 2007 was the day Brian and Keri joined their lives in marriage! I love weddings and love seeing family more. Chris and I drove the two hours to be with our extended family at the Sacramento Mormon Temple. The Price Family, minus Emily and Brian, drove to Santa Clara to stay with Mom the previous Wednesday evening. Chris and I got to spend time with them for dinner. On the Friday we met at the Temple for photos, but then drove into Old Town Folsom for a Mexican Food Luncheon. I helped Mike and Uncle Greg with a rap in honor of the recently married. Mike even custom-made beat for it!
Chris and I had planned to stay in Chico for the rest of the weekend and were invited to a BBQ at Aunt Lo's house. More great family time and slidding down their slide into the cool pool!
Our dear friends, the Reid's, let us sleep in their side of the duplex that we once lived in, while they were away. It was great to stay in a place we were so familiar with. Luckily, Chico was not as hot as it could have been. We visited eatries we loved like Sin of Cortez for breakfast and Christian Michael's for dinner/happy hour. Besides stuffing our fat faces, we also walked around the quaint downtown and had an after-dinner walk we used to have every night. We were a little sweaty after that walk and decided to go for a night swim at the Cootsona's. Before going back to the house we had to walk to Shubert's for some ice cream. You must think we are 300 pounds each, but we just love some of Chico's finest restaurants and had been planning this trip for a while. :)
Sunday we went to Bidwell Presbyterian Church where Uncle Greg was teaching that morning. Aunt Lo wanted to go get some Peet's after the service so we had an hour chat and sat outside the shop, sipping half-caf coffee in real mugs. It was great to have some one-on-one with someone who's older and wiser. On our drive home we took the 99 South to Yuba City (Taste of India is our all-time favorite Indian food place!) and then to Sac-Town for shopping.
We had an excellent weekend. Chris and I were surprised how relaxed we were because while we had lived there we were not always so stress-free. Looking back to that time of our lives we had a hard time finding consistant work for both of us and that was really hard. But Chico does have a draw and we thought almost just as relaxing as Tahoe. Gasp!
