Kayla's Wedding

Kayla is married! And I have helped decorate for another wedding. By the time Kenzie gets married I will be pretty good a this!

I think my favorite part of getting ready for a reception is the silliness, the bantering, and the fun of actually decorating! We arrived at 4 am their time Friday morning after traveling almost all day and most of the night only to get three hours of sleep and then head to the church house to decorate. And I am not the most sane person when I have little sleep. And there was less help this time, and I cannot count Mackenzie and Joey as help! No, after a few hours they went back to the house to play video games with Nathan!

But we did it! The fake roof went up, tables decorated and props set up! Cortney is pretty good at this too!

The wedding was wonderful! The Dallas temple is about an hour away for we had to be ready to leave by 9 am (7 am our time) so we could follow David and not get lost. It was beautiful! While waiting for the session to start, I met a very nice sister who traveled 2 1/2 hours to go to session. She is from AZ! It was so nice to see someone from home! And rooms were so small not everyone could fit so some people had to wait for the next one. Luckily we were with a bride so we did not have to wait. Kind of a switch from the last time we came.

The wedding ceremony was nice and Cortney sat in back of me! (Her and my cousin Gary had to run back and get the wedding certificate. It was forgotten so they missed the session)

Pictures were taken and we finished just in time for the heavens to open and it started pouring! Texas knows how to rain!

We had our luncheon and then were on our way to the reception, the rain never stopping. If it had rained this bad in Mesa I think it would have washed away everything!

We headed back Monday morning, bright and early but Britt stayed for a few more days.

Great weekend and one more down!

Funny story. Joey just sat down and started talking to this young couple. He went on and on for about 30 minutes and they found him delightful! They are even pen pals now! Good thing he was not older because he would have given this girl's boyfriend a run for his money!
 

And now we get to wait for at least two years before we do this again. Because as much as Ashley insists that she will live with me forever and have lots of cats I doubt that is what her future holds!
