Crazy couple of weeks

Wow it has been a long time since I posted on here... but then again a lot has happened in the last month. We got thru the High holidays.... the mother had 24 people for Rosh Hashana dinner, but then did a quite family dinner the next week for just us, before we went to services. But then on the evening of Yom Kipper as we had just finished break the fast, my mom gets a call the my Grandpa Jerry had passed away. If has been a long time coming since he has been really sick for the last year or so. Anyway we all went to the Quad Cites to spend a few days with The mother's side of the family. It was nice to be there for my Grandmother. It still was a little crazy though since there were so many people in town and so many people there to help out. But I think we got my grandmother thru the worse part and now she can start moving on with her life and everything.
Last Sunday was A.B.'s birthday and we had planned to have a little party for him and a locate restaurant and then see a concert. But he came down with this weird rash all over his one leg, so instead he went to the ER and got it checked out and then spend the rest of the day in bed. It didn't get any better and really got worse, so that he couldn't even really walk. So on Tuesday he was admitted into the hospital and that is were he stayed until Saturday afternoon. The doctor's let him go home, but not before telling him that he would have to take most of this week off work and watch the rash to make sure it is getting better and not worse. If it does he will be going back into the hospital. For that matter if it is not totally better by the end of this week, he might have to go back. I'm just hoping that he gets some time to rest and get totally better.
Wedding planning is still in full force, we have booked the DJ and the string quartet, now we just have to pick the music. The last 2 weekends I have been going to different bakeries, to see about the cake..... I don't want a traditional cake, but just a small cake to cut and then petite fours for everyone else. Most places charge an arm and leg for that, but I have found a few that are reasonable. Anyway, I think I'm going to check out one more place, before me try to make a decision. Tomorrow night we are meeting with a custom invitation lady, to see about invitations.... so I guess we will see how that goes. The Mother meets with a dress maker on Thursday, to start the mother of the bride dress process. We are also going to talk to her about making bride's maid dresses. Then at the end of this mother it is Wedding dress time, the mother and I head to a place to hopefully make a final decision on my dress and everything.
So you can see the last couple of weeks have been crazy but hopefully it will be dying down soon.
