Angie's Wedding!!

I have not written for ages....life have been so hectic...so I am not going to try to play catch up for the last two months. The most recent event in our lives that has been so fun was to watch my sister Angie marry in the temple to a wonderful guy named Ben Hodge. Along with all the wedding festivities I also got to see many old friends and tons of family. It was so fun! Angie and Ben were married in Bountiful, UT on March 22, 2008. Jared and I got married in the Bountiful Temple as well so it was really fun to re-experience the wedding from a different perspective. I was the only one married out of my siblings so I was ecstatic to have my older sister join the old married people side of things:).






Three weeks after the wedding Jared and I flew out to Idaho for the receptions. That trip was crazy but very fun.

We arrived in Boise at midnight on Friday, April 11th. Then we drove home to Nampa. Going to bed was out the question. The whole family was back at home together. So we were up until 1:30-2:00am talking and enjoying being together. Later that morning we woke up around 8:00am and packed the car for the drive to Washington for the reception in Ben's hometown(near Yakima). The family left Nampa around 11:00am and arrived in Washington at 4:30pm. We arrived just in time to set up the reception. After the reception was set up the guest arrived. That first reception went from 7-9. By 11:00pm we had everything cleaned up. The family got back in the van and we drove all night back to Idaho. We arrived home on Saturday morning at 5:00am. Everyone went to bed and slept until about 10:00am. Setting up at the church for the second reception started at noon and went until 5:00pm. Then I went home got ready and arrived back at the church just in time to get in line before the reception started. After that reception ended we were at the church until midnight cleaning up . Jared and I didn't get to bed until 1:30 on Sunday morning. We slept until 8:00am then got up and packed our bags. We had to be at the airport at 10:00am. We got to the airport as soon we were back to Arizona. We got home around 3:00pm.




Now that is what I call a full vacation! I got sick on Sunday night...I am guessing from all the traveling, unhealthy food and no sleep in the last three days. I had to call in sick to work Monday to have time to recuperate but the trip was well worth all of that. It was so great so see every one! I can't complain about that! Now we have a good two months with no travel plans. Our next big adventure will be in June. We are going to run in the Sawtooth Relay in Idaho with my family.

Until next time...we love you all and hope everyone is doing well.
