Big Wedding
This past weekend was Miguel's wedding. It was a great weekend... Andres and I were in the wedding, Novali was a flower girl, and everyone had a great time in downtown Chicago.

The weekend started poorly for me. My flight to Chicago was canceled and all flights grounded into town... I was so distraught that I might miss my Brothers rehearsal dinner that I nearly started crying. Seriously it was that bad. I luckily was able to land a flight into Midway on another airline and had to get a one way ticket... after a fun cab ride to Ohare from Midway... getting lost in Des Plaines... I made it to Evanston for the dinner. Relieved to be with family, I ate and just had a great night.

At the wedding Novali was a doll, Kate was beautiful, and us Centellas boys looked dapper in our tuxes, and my mom had a sweet hat (and Novali complimented her on her jacket). We had a great time and my dad made an awesome toast! Little teary again.... maybe. Then we ate, drank and danced the night away! Novali was a terror on the dance floor and I think danced with everyone in the wedding party. She was the life of the party and I think half the reception video might be of her... hope she didn't steal the show.

Sunday we had a great brunch and packed up. My parents and Heather and I went to lunch with Novali, Syed and Tamara before hitting the road to Michigan. Hit some snow on the way home but made it back to Albion safely. I hate to make this short, but I have been out of my office for nearly two weeks and have a ton of work to do. I did find some time to post two new galleries on Novali's website.
Please check them out in her Pictures Section. NovalĂ­'s Site.

Today my parents arrive for a three day visit in Albion. I am looking forward to spending more time with them since we were so busy at the wedding. The students leave town this weekend and then I get a break for a little while and can catch up on paperwork and reports... fun fun fun.
