wedding weekend

last weekend, i had the honor of watching one of my oldest and dearest friends marry a wonderful guy, and i got to serve as a bridesmaid alongside other girls who have had the privilege of knowing kimberly as a friend.  kimberly and i have been friends since 7th grade, and we have kept in touch since graduating high school almost ten years ago.  although we went to different schools, now live in different states, and have very different jobs, we have remained friends and supported each other through all of life's events.  i am so thankful to have been able to share in this special day with her.  sidenote:  our other oldest friend's daughter was the flower girl and so sweet at it!  another plus to the wedding weekend was introducing brendan to many people i have known for much of my life.  he was a trooper being passed from person to person.

while i was busy with wedding festivities, grandma and papa got their hands at lots of brendan time.  aunt rachel and uncle tyler (as well as maw, uncle john, aunt beth, wesley, and hannah) joined in on the fun and got to spend lots of well-overdue time with our little man.  i think everyone on both sides had some withdrawals after the weekend was over and we all had to part ways :).

 did i mention that the airline changed our gate three times, delayed our flight by 2.5 hours, did not have our checked bag on our plane, and then delivered it two days late?  no?  that is because after such a fun-filled weekend and some rest, details like that are really pretty small in the long run :)


...and thus concludes our month of four weekends in four different states.  whew!
