Wow, we're tired! We made a very fast trip up to Russellville, KY, over the weekend for our dear friend Sarah's wedding (Kendal was honored to actually marry them!). We left on Thursday morning and got back at 3am this morning, tired but happy to have had an unexpected opportunity to see a lot of old friends and a beautiful place full of great memories.
We stayed with our great friends Chris and Leslie and their kids Clark (now in 1st grade - whoa!) and Caroline (2 years). Clark has been our buddy for a long time, but this was our first opportunity to meet Caroline - what a sweetie! I hated the twins weren't with us, but we thought they would be happier with Nana and Papa this trip (if anyone can find a wizard's port-key between our house and KY we may try it next time!). We had a great time just hanging out, eating, watching "The Office" reruns, watching Chris work on the farm - it was like nothing had changed :) I also found out that Leslie makes the most precious clothes for kids - check out
The Gumdrop Shoppe! Evie Claire made the trip and was absolutely amazing - no fussing, just sweet as can be. I love the pic with EC and Caroline - look at those smiling girls! Looking very forward to getting all five of the kids together one day very soon. The girls got to do some shopping in Bowling Green on Saturday while the guys hung out at the house - just like it should be!
We also got to hang out with other wonderful friends - my friend Jackie and her kids Mariah (4) and Mason (1) and Glen and Linda Gilliam. It was such a treat to have time to sit and catch up, we treasured every minute.
We also had the chance to see old friends at the
Shaker Museum at South Union, where I worked for two years. We hung out with my old co-workers, bought some great gifts (yay for Candleberry Candles!) and got a special tour of the nearly restored grain barn and visitor's center by director and good friend Tommy Hines. We couldn't believe how much had been accomplished in the four short years we've been away - if you are ever in the area, make sure to pay the museum a good visit!
Finally - it was time for the wedding! What an honor to celebrate with Sarah and Mario, two absolutely amazing people. Sarah was in the youth group at FPC Russellville when we moved there in 2003 and she was a close friend from the beginning. We love her family so much and we so happy to share in their day. Congrats, Sarah and Mario Ibarra :)
Evie loved the wedding and all the attention SHE got, too! She almost stole the bride's thunder :)
