Wild Weekend

So 2 weekends ago was a whirlwind of excitement, let me tell you! A graduation and wedding were in the works...

My family started flying in on June 7th, first my sister, then they all trickled in from there; my mom and rick, Garrett's parents, my friend donald and his girlfriend, my stepmom and grandmother, my little brother Jonathan, and finally Michael, my sis' boyfriend and one of Garrett's good friends (he actually introduced me to Garrett). We had a complete household, it was busting at the seams. It was an incredible time for everyone to meet (those that haven't already) and for others to fellowship and spend time with one another.

First we spent the day in Seattle on Saturday, we had a group of 12 walking around Pikes Place Market and trying to not all get lost.











Then us girls rushed home for pedicures and manicures and the guys started BBQ'ing for a group of 14.










Sunday was the BIG day, first was my college graduation at 2pm. I received my Associates of Arts in Pre-Law graduting with honor's and a part of Phi Theta Kappa, the honor society.










After graduation was done, or rather after I ran out as soon as my name was called, it was off to the chapel, or resort. To get married, again. The wedding was scheduled to be at 6 but because my graduation ran late, we started 45 min late. But everything went great, just a few minor flaws. The ring fell off the ringbearers pillow into the lawn and was lost until after the ceremony, then the "pastor" (a guy from Garrett's ship) kept saying crap during the ceremony, and then the final problem was the smoke alarm was almost set off in our exit with sparklers, there were different types of sparklers, not just the old fashioned kind. OoOoOps... It was an incredible wedding though, really glad we decided to do a big celebration for our family and friends to be there.














Overall it was a wonderful time with our families and a great weekend no matter how busy we seemed to be. I am thankful to have such an incredible family.
