I'm sure you've gathered by now that our family traveled to Florida last week/weekend to attend a wedding. I love weddings. Love the dresses, love the food, love crazy ring bearers, love 'em. David, not so much, but he does enjoy the opportunity to visit friends and family so we both had a great time. The bride was bee-u-tee-ful...and the groom not so bad ;) Raina and Dennis are hopefully enjoying a lovely time in St. Lucia this very moment. I hope they're not getting the rain we have been...but they're honeymooning so does it matter?

Back to FL...it was a nice trip all together. Often we try and cram so much into the short time that we end up feeling we've really done a disservice to everyone, including ourselves, by not giving anyone a quality visit. It's like that speed-dating trend, 1 minute, then move on to the next. Only we're not dating, we're speed visiting: Hi! How are ya? Yep, kids are growin' up fast. NC is lovely. Yes, it's cooler than FL. Elevation is great, God is good. See ya next visit. Move on to the next relative. This visit, our goal was to attend Raina and Dennis' wedding. We wanted to be a part of their special day. If we achieved that, our visit would be a success, so everything else was just icing. We slept in, we took naps, we goofed off with the kids. Sure we could have used another day or two to squeeze in a tad bit more, but overall, I think we spent our days well. Aside from Luke getting sick for a brief period of time and the causality on the drive home, it was a near perfect visit. And I was reminded of all the things I love and hate about FL...stay tuned.
