To Minnestota and Back Again

Boy I sure am getting slack about posting events as they happen! I used to be on top of it but now.... I've become a terrible slacker!!

Well two weeks ago I flew to Minnesota to be a brides maid in a friend's wedding. It was so much fun. I've never been on a trip by myself so it was pretty exciting to travel alone and then have two whole days away from Bobby & the kids. It was nice having time to myself but I still missed them so much!!
I went up on a Thursday evening, the rehearsal was on Friday (in Duluth), the wedding was Saturday and I came home on Sunday. It was a whirlwind trip and I spent most of my time riding in a car but at least I got to see Lake Superior - and we even ventured over the border into Wisconsin as well. I made some new friends who were delighted to learn that Southerners really do drink iced tea, eat grits and say "y'all." I, on the other hand, was less than thrilled to learn that most Northerners aren't friendly at all (would it kill you to smile?) and call everything "cute". The wedding itself was interesting, to say the least, but that's a tale that you'll have to hear in person :-)


Evie & I the morning of the wedding. It took 65 bobby-pins (no joking!) to put my hair up in a french twist.

The Matron of Honor- Darcy. She was such a sweetheart! She was cute ;-)

Me & the beautiful bride.

The entire wedding party.

The groomsmen I walked with was Jake - Darcy's little brother.

Taking a moment to pose.

There's a whole story about Nate. He was very quiet and answered questions with one word answers. Darcy asked him questions non-stop throughout the rehearsal dinner until he finally got up and left the table!! We thought it was hilarious that he goofed off with us while we were waiting between wedding pictures (it took 90 minutes for the photographer to get all of the shots that Evie wanted!).

Another new friend, Stephanie. She loved it when I said, "y'all!"
