I feel obligated to explain my prolonged absence, lest you fear I’ve abandoned my regular recaps. Without going into too much detail, 2011 has not been off to a great start for the Huskies. We have endured family, financial and career hardships that I never would have expected to be compounded into just two short months. Mr. Husky has been everything to me and for me since the year began, and I am so very fortunate to have unending love and support from him. Thank you for being patient as I come back around to blogging.

My oh my, where did we leave off? Oh yes, the dancing! The band prepared for their next set break, and I prepared to toss my bouquet. All the ladies, regardless of marital or relationship status, were invited up to the dance floor.

Meanwhile, I evaluated the height of the ceiling beams and prepared my bouquet by pulling apart the stems for the breakaway. MIL Husky and my wonderful Aunt M came up with the idea to have mini-bouquets, instead of single stems.

With the bouquet toss out of the way, it was almost time for the nightcap.
