Hitting the Road

Last Wednesday through Sunday Jonah partied with family while Mommy, Daddy, and Abby headed south to Oklahoma City for a wedding. Mommy and Abby headed even farther south for a few of those days to Dallas to visit some of mommy's friends from high school. Jonah was a trooper while we were away and was anxious to tell us all the fun that he had with Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Reed, Aunt Dana, and his cousins at home. Thanks guys!

Abby was honestly perfect the entire trip. She was entirely sleep deprived, but as happy as can be. It was great to be able to give her a few days of undivided attention. I hope you enjoyed it while it lasted, Abs. :)
On Thursday Abby and I made it to Texas and met up with Chelle and her baby Emory, born two days after Abby. Traci, who now lives in Nashville and Sarah (forever known as Loyd to me) were also there.They're friends.
The next night we figured we'd hang out and get some Chili's take out after the girls went to sleep. We then thought it'd be fun to eat it on Sarah's china. However, as we sat down, we figured we were probably dressed a little to informal and would look silly eating on such nice dishes. The only obvious choice was to wear old bridesmaid/prom dresses of Loyd's.
What... you don't do this?

Sarah playing a little guitar hero in her wedding gown. I think the veil is a nice touch.
Now to the real wedding and the reason we went. Brian was in his best friend and teammate from college, Adam's, wedding on Saturday. I would have pictures of the bride and groom in their dress and tux, but they sort of ate, changed, and left. Go figure.Here's the bride in her drive-off dress.
We had a wedding day four years ago. Abby wasn't there though. Doesn't Brian look sharp?

It was a lot of fun to be able to catch up with some of Brian's old teammates. Look at this crew. From left to right, Justin Boeker, Marques McCarty, Brian, and Jake Muhlheisen.

We leave this Wednesday for Ohio to see Mimi and Papa, so stay tuned for more pictures of our travels. We already have fishing, Brian's birthday, and an Indians game on tap, so it should be a doozy.
