The weekend of April 16th, Charlie and I had been looking forward to heading to Indianapolis for one of my college girl-friend's wedding. Since we moved to the East Coast, it has been hard to see all of our friends from college so it was going to be quite a reunion. However, our dog came down with a really bad stomach bug that led us to a trip to the animal hospital in the middle of the night less than 24 hours before our flight to Indianapolis. Griffey was quite sick and was de-hydrated from not being able to keep any food or water down, so the animal hospital thought it was best for him to stay over night in the hospital to get IV fluids and medicine down to get this stomach bug under control. We didn't get back from the hospital till less than 2 hours before our flight was suppose to leave and had only about hour of sleep, so we were forced to call the airlines and try to get our flight rescheduled for later. Luckily, for a stupid $50 change fee, we were able to get Katie's flight changed to Saturday morning and we decided it would be best for Charlie to stay behind and wait for Griffey to get released from the hospital. Charlie was disappointed that he didn't get to come to our friend's wedding, but we were both very worried about our dog.
Katie made it to Indianapolis Saturday morning and scheduled an impromtu hair appointment with one of her close friends that was also there for the wedding. The wedding was beautiful at an old building in Downtown Indianaopolis and all of our college friends were so happy to see the bride and groom so happy. We danced the night away and when the bride realized that the band/dj did not have one very important song, we were thankful for the abundance of I-phones that made it easy to quickly downloand the Golden Girls Theme Song (wedding crisis adverted)....our favorite song from college that we use to sing in college walking to the bars and now continue on the tradition and sing it whenever we all get together again.
The wedding was a lot of fun and it was wonderful seeing so many of my college friends again. Charlie went to the hospital to visit Griffey and took some pictures and sent them to me on my phone so that I could see how the 2 of them were doing. Griffey was still alittle weak and getting over the stomach bug, so they kept him another night and Charlie picked him up on Sunday morning. And when Charlie picked me up from the airport, there was a very happy dog waiting to see me.
