Relaxation

I need to catch up here on my blogging. The week before Mother's Day we went on a small 3 day vacation just south of South Bend to Warsaw. There is a house that we rented near the Grace College. It was wonderful! We played games, went to the park, watched movies and the best part was relaxing in the hot tub. The kids loved it.

Thursday of that week we dropped the kids off at Jerimae's parents and we headed to Alabama for my best friend's wedding. Jerimae and I had been anticipating this trip for months. Ten hours on the road, just him and I. We love road trips and haven't taken one in a very, very long time. We stopped for the night in Nashville, TN. I had never been to Nashville. We got to our hotel, freshened up and went out on the town for an hour. We ate at a bar and grill and walked around a bit. Friday we got to Birmingham, AL where I met up with my friend Sharon (the bride) and Ovis (maid of honor) and we got our nails and toes done. Then we had some lunch and then went back and got ready for the rehearsal and dinner.

For dessert we got to choose what we wanted. My friend Heather and I chose the Chocolate Cake for Two. It was more like Chocolate Cake for Four. I barely put a dent in it, but it was so very scrumptious. Jerimae got a piece of pecan pie and it was so tiny compared to my cake. We all laughed.

Sharon and Jeff's wedding was absolutely wonderful. The wedding was at an old church in Birmingham-exactly where I would have pictured Sharon getting married. Everything was beautiful, especially Sharon. The reception was at Jeff's dad's house. Absolutely gorgeous. We had so much fun. I got to see a lot of my friends from college that I haven't seen in a long time. I will post pictures of the wedding and reception later.

Jerimae and I then headed home Sunday--a straight 10 hour drive. The weather was perfect until we got to Kentucky. The company, however, was great. We had a blast!!
