Back from Ithaca, NY

The wedding turned out to be really nice! It rained our first night there (Thursday), but the weather just got better and better as the weekend went on. Below are just a few photos to show you the beautiful day and the beautiful setting.

I showed Todd my tiny little hometown and the house I grew up in (it sure looked a lot better than I remembered it!). And, we did a good tour of Cornell, where I went to college. We ate a lot of ice cream cuz it's cow & dairy country there. And, we drank a good amount of wine, too, cuz, believe it or not, the fingerlakes region of NY is pretty good wine country. I think the Rieslings are the best, but the whites in general are better than the reds.

It was fun seeing my best old friends, but boy, are we all so different now! The two who had kids since I last saw them were never big dancers, but they liked to occasionally get a little silly. This weekend, they still enjoyed good conversation, but that's it - no dancing, no singing, no being silly. That made me a little sad as the bride would have really enjoyed having them up and dancing with the rest of us. Oh well. The photographer got a couple WILD shots of Todd and me dancing. Hopefully, the bride will send us copies someday.

Here is my baby in front of an OLD building of some kind. I never did find out what it was or its history.

This is a view of the back of the inn and the tent where the reception was held.

This is us on the deck of the inn just before the reception. Look at the sky!

hey michelle... i've written to you before about bulimia... but i just noticed that you went to cornell... which is freaky because so did i! not to mention we share the same name :0P

i also have a question regarding your previous blog on GERD. has anyone responded to you further about such complications after bulimia? i've been experiencing reflux now for quite some time and sometimes i get extremely worried (borderline panic attacks, really) that it will cause cancer in the future. i'm young and scared, and i shouldn't be. i'm just having a lot of trouble forgiving myself for those five and a half years, and i find that i'm constantly looking back and hating myself for it all. how did you work past all that regret and hatred?

thanks again for all your help!
michelle
