WW: Walking in the Rain!!!

MIA!!!

I have been MIA!!! I have lots of updates that I need to get posted like...4th of July, Harvest, Summer Updates, and looking back I realized I never posted Easter...so we will see I may do a very belated post on our Easter just for my memory...lol!!! But, this will probably have to wait until after this weekend as I am trying to get things done for our 10 year Class reunion for Saturday!!! It is hard to believe we have been out of high school for 10 years...it doesn't seem like that long and some days it seems longer...lol! Then I will have to blog about that...the list just keeps getting longer and longer...

Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Paulin...

A is a friend that we went to high school with. He got married on Saturday, June 27, 2009 to S Lehman and DH was the Best man! So...we headed to Girard on Friday, June 26, 2009 for rehearsal. We were suppose to leave shortly after lunch, but that turned into 2:30 due to DH and his brother, M trying to plant.

So, we were off and made a hurried trip down! Girard is a small farm town so the closest place that has any hotels is in Pittsburg, which is a college town! We originally were planning on getting there a little early so that we could get checked in, change our clothes and have time for DD to run around for a little bit after riding 3 hours before going to the rehearsal and then rehearsal dinner afterwards. Plans changed seeing how we didn't end up leaving until later and we reached Pittsburg a little after 5:30 and it was about 15 min. or so back to Girard and DD and I still needed to change our clothes and rehearsal started at 6:00. A was still at the hotel with his parents so he waited for DH and DH rode back with him while DD and I got checked in and changed our clothes and then we headed to rehearsal a little bit later.

Rehearsal went good and then we went to dinner at Rockin K which was very good. The place was kinda in the middle of nowhere and it reminded me of a old saloon that you would see on those old country western movies. Very neat, unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of the rehearsal or dinner. Dinner consisted of BBQ, salad, pickled beets, corn, and HUGE potatoes with the fixins...delicious!

After returning to Pittsburg after the rehearsal DH and I took DD swimming for a little bit. We didn't have much time because under 18 was only allowed in the pool until 10 and it was about 9:30 time we got back to the hotel, but oh well DD still had fun until it was time to get out. Then she pouted some because she didn't understand why she had to get out while other people were still in!!! After swimming we went back up to our room while DH went for a little bit to hang out with another friend from high school that came down for the wedding also and A while I got DD to bed. JR and his family happened to have a room at a Motel across the street from ours.

*Hi Mommy!!!*

*DD pouting*

The next morning we got up and got around and went down to eat breakfast. Shortly after JR took DH back to Girard because he had to be there at 10:30 for pictures and the wedding didn't start until 2:00 and we didn't have to check out until 12:30, so DD and I stayed at the hotel and DD took a nap while I got around. I knew if we went with DH at 10:30 that DD would be done for by the time 2:00 came around...she's two!!! So, dd and I checked out at 12:30 and slowly headed back to Girard for the wedding.

The wedding was very nice!!! DD did ok...she just didn't understand why she couldn't go see Daddy he was after all just standing up front...lol! She kept telling there's Daddy, I go see Daddy and then would try to crawl under the pew to go see him, but we made it threw without any major blow ups!!! The reception followed at a hall just around the corner.

After the reception which ended at 6:00 we headed home! About halfway home we ran into a storm that consisted of heavy rain and wind and some hail. After we drove out of that it was smooth sailing and we made it home around 9:00.

It was a busy but nice couple of days and DD and I spent Sunday recuperating while DH was back at planting again.

Congratulations A and S!!!
