Wednesday after I arrived Katie and I got to hang out and just catch up. It was great. Oh, and I got to experience the renovated version of South Center. What a difference. Then we met up with the bride only to go meet up with the rest of the bridal party to get manicures and pedicures. Two of my favorite things to do. Then the girls hit the town for Karin's bachelorette party. So fun. Well, minus the dress in the freezing cold weather. One of the highlights from the day: we were driving, it was about 50 degrees outside and Karin thought it was warm enough to turn on the air conditioner. Call me crazy, but that is no where near air conditioner weather.
Thursday was the start of another busy day. Katie and I ran lots of errands in the afternoon. Then we had the rehearsal and the rehearsal dinner. By the end of the meal Katie and I both had sore fingers from trying to crack all the crab. I actually punctured my finger at one point and saw blood. We then headed to Issaquah (where Katie and he husband live) for the night. Upon arrival Kasey asked us what we wanted to do, we both looked at him and said "VEG!"
Friday was another early morning. Considering I wake up at like 5:45 every day I don't know why anything is ever considered early, but it is. Katie and I attempted to get ready before heading to the hotel to meet the bridal party. Let's just say that about an hour and a half later we both had our hair pinned back. It looks so easy, but do not be fooled. The twist and pin combination is not easy. Then back to Seattle we went. And yet again we headed out into the cold in dresses to take pictures. I am not sure why people in Seattle think this is okay. And to top it off, the grooms men were complaining about being cold. HA! Oh, and that their feet hurt. Given, I love love love heels. But by the end of the night after wearing 4 1/2 inch heels my feet were killing me. But it was so worth it, they looked so cute!
After the wedding I hitched a ride to Federal Way where I spent the night at my cousin's house. I have not slept that soundly in a very long time. I am actually not sure how I even made it into bed, but let's just say that I hit the bed, realized there was no pillow, said "oh well" and promptly fell asleep. Saturday I got to hang out with my best friend Shannon. We just laid low as she had homework and I was still trying to re cooperate from the events of the wedding.
And to end the weekend on a high note, I got to drive to Bellevue (which I do not highly recommend doing if you can avoid it... I got a bit claustrophobic on the 405 freeway. How do people drive with only 2 lanes and when all the drivers are barely going 60?) But in Bellevue were my precious nephews, and of course my sister and her husband. I could seriously hold those boys for days! On another high note, they come to Cali tomorrow. I jokingly tease Kim that once they get here they won't get to hold the boys, but I am kinda serious.
With them coming to Cali there will be lots of fun events, from Disneyland, to a hockey game, to hopefully being able to go to the beach. If only we could get back to where it was a month ago where it was in the upper 80's. Now that is my kind of weather.
Scott was there as well. It was really good to see him, it has been forever.
Cullen is in the tan and Jackson is in the white.
We are pretty much the best aunt and uncle ever, hands down!
The best photo of Cullen ever!
