Just got back from a trip to St. Louis.  The whole family met up for Sarah and Jeff's wedding, and it was a small miracle that we all made it.  Four different flights from four different cities!!
We got to see family on both sides, I spent an evening with Lauri and two new friends (Hey A Team!!! You two are always going to be guaranteed fun-and thank you for always being there for Lauri), and had a great night with the cousins.

The wedding was such a wonderful, crazy, dance-filled night. Sarah was a beautiful bride and we were so blessed to be included.  Catching up with family that we rarely get to see  is always very special.  We miss everyone so much living way down here.

I think I am still hung-over from way too much partying, but it was worth it!

The trip had so many moments to be grateful for, so here goes:

I am grateful for my friendship with Lauri and my two new friends, Amy and Andrea.

I am grateful that Elizabeth, Sally, Susan, and Carolyn are ALWAYS so welcoming and ready to hang out.

I am grateful that my parents open their house to us and quietly suffer with too many house guests.

I am grateful that we have a NP in the family so that we can get that Z Pack without a doctors visit - Thanks Lori!!!

I am grateful that my husband even considered this trip in the first place - SO worth it.

I am grateful for my mother-in-laws hospitality - Dropping everything and entertaining 15 of us on short notice.  

I am grateful that we got to spend a weekend with  the girls - I miss them so much.

I am grateful that we all made it home safely - again: 4 different flights.
