Flower girl Debut!

We spent the weekend in Fayetteville Arkansas for the wedding of Amanda and Kevin. We left Friday morning for the airport after dropping Rylee off at the kennel. This is the first time we have had to kennel her but since every single person on both side of our families were out of town this weekend (what are the odds??) we had no choice! I felt so guilty about having to leave her in a strange place, I cried the entire way to the airport....could have been the pregnacny hormones too!

We got the airport and waited an hour for our delayed plane to arrive, then once we got on the plane it started to rain. Gotta love those summer time storms that pop out of nowhere! After another hour of waiting on the plane (ps- not fun with a two year old!) we took off. Brinley really enjoyed taking off and watching the land getting smaller and smaller. She tolerated flying for about 30 mintutes before she wanted to move around. So the rest of the hour flight was pretty miserable of trying to contain her to our tiny area. Once we were on the ground, we had to wait 30 minutes in the rental car line (seems they were the only company that had cars available to rent!!!)

By this time we were running 2 1/2 hours late and drove like crazy to the hotel so we could unpack, get dressed (no time to shower) and head to the rehearsal at the church 40 minutes away! When we got to the hotel, we noticed our bags and clothes were soaked (evidently they didn't load the bags and kept them out in the rain while we waited for it to stop!)

The wedding was GORGEOUS! Amanda was stunning and the all glass chapel in the mountains they had the ceremony in was breathe taking. Brinley did not make it down the aisle, she got a 1/4 of the way and stopped to see why everyone was looking at her. Then she saw my mom and ran to her! The reception was on the University of Arkansas campus. The food was delicious, and Brinley had a great time dancing to the band. We had a great time and passed out with exhaustion that night!

Sunday morning, we took Brinley for a walk around campus, took some pictures, and showed her my name on the senior walk. It was great being back on campus. So much has changed but yet all the familiar sites are still there. The weather was wonderful with highs in the low 80's and lows in the 60's and breezes! It felt great not to sweat when you walk outside for once!

The flight home was just as eventful as flying out. We got on the plane on time but as soon as everyone was buckled in they told us we had a hour delay due to rain in Houston. Thank goodness they let us get off the plane this time. Brinley got that extra time to run around and release some energy! Brinley sat a little better on the flight home because I think she was worn out!

Here are some pictures from our trip.
