A Wedding Weekend!

What beautiful weather we had this weekend!  My husband was in a wedding for his fraternity brother from college, so we traveled a few hours to attend the rehearsal and the wedding.  This was the first time that the both of us had left Nolan for 2 nights.  So I guess that means it is the longest we have been alone since Nolan has been born!  He was in good hands with my mother-in-law so we weren't worried.  I of course checked on him several times, and was either playing or taking super long naps.  Where are those naps when he is at home?  I guess Grandma wears him out!  The reception was at a beautiful mansion with gorgeous gardens and landscaping.  Sorry I don't have more photos to share!
I also had to make an emergency candle run for the lovely couple.  The unity candle was set up with the larger round one and then two short round ones.  There was no way they could lean the short ones in to light the bigger one, so my husband and the wedding coordinator called me to ask if I would go get long thin tapered candles.  I had just arrived at the church, so I had to turn around in the car in a place I wasn't from and go on the candle hunt.  Luckily, Walgreens to the rescue.  I made it back just before the wedding started (music was already playing!)  Anyhow it all worked out, and they were able to light the unity candle.  I was a pregnant woman on a mission!

Hope everyone has a great Monday!
