Hooray for Sweetie! Christian has been knighted. I don't know if I was good company on two hours of sleep or not, but I enjoyed seeing everyone there anyway. Total, Chris and I only had 9 hours of sleep apiece the whole weekend.

I now know how chris felt at my Laureling. Once you get your significant other to site without spilling the beans, everyone else takes over and you're not quite sure what to do with yourself. I spent friday night worried that I wasn't being appreciative enough of everyone involved.

By saturday morning, we'd each had two hours of sleep and two red bulls each. Chris was running on pure adrenaline and bouncing everywhere. I don't know if everyone does this, but with little to no sleep, I get extremely nauseated. One should not yack during their husband's knighting ceremony. I slowly got dressed and sat near Anton on the field. I probably looked like I was meditating on the haystacks.
By saturday night, I was far from the other planet on which I am usually found. My brain probably bumped into the Hubble telescope sometime during dinner.

Anyway, thank you everyone who was involved, and who spent any time around us afterwards. Lack of sleep aside, it was a beautiful vigil and perfect ceremony.
