We laughed, we cried, we partied till dawn...well almost

The wedding turned out better then we all could have imagined. My brother and his new wife were happy as can be. There were many laughs, some tears-- tears seem to happen when our family comes together--our emotions run so close to the surface that the pure happiness evolves into tears of joy.

E and I hung out with my cousins all weekend long and we managed to close down the bar both Friday and Saturday night. Seattle is beautiful depsite the rain.

We visited my friends T and S who now live in Seattle. It has been a few years since we have seen each other. I am so grateful for their friendship. I also met their cute little boy, Owen. He filled me up with cute baby smiles and sent me off on my way with a cute little wave of his hand.

It was a very good weekend! Here is my favorite picture of the bride and groom.

I am SO glad to hear everything turned out ok and that you had such a good time! I had been wondering how it all turned out for you, as I know you were struggling with issues with your brother. How did the reading/prayer go? Did you and E do it together like he suggested? What a relief that everything turned out ok!

You must be so relieved that things went well for the wedding last weekend. I'm so glad to hear that they went well! I was thinking about you and praying it would be much better than you were fearing. Glad that you and Eli had a blast, that's always a fun way to spend a weekend!!
