We flew to Lynchburg, VA for Labor Day weekend for my cousin Jonathan and Rachel's wedding. I had to work on Saturday morning so we missed the big dinner Friday at my aunt's house and the fun activities Saturday but we still had a blast.
After work we flew out of LR and went to Charlotte, NC. Our layover was very short and we were very hungry. We grabbed something to eat on the plane real quick and went to board and our flight was delayed for about an hour and a half due to mechanical problems. They kept coming over the loud speaker saying, as soon as we know what the problem is we will fix it and let you know. We'll keep you updated when we know something. That was very comforting. We finally got on the plane and got to Aunt Linda's around 10:30 or so. We were so tired by then that we were not up for partying with the group. All the cousins were staying in a hotel nearby so we loaded up and went to the hotel. Me, Dan, Val, and Ben were staying in a room together but Ben wasn't there the first night so it was Dan and the girls. We had fun.
We woke up Sunday and went to Aunt Linda's for a big lunch and to hang out with family. What we really did was sit around and watch the hurricane on tv all morning. The kids finally got bored with that and went back to the hotel. We drank a bottle of wine and went shopping.
We didn't actually go to the wedding because it was just immediate family. They had their wedding on a dock on a lake across the street from a house called Timberlake Taverns. The reception was at the house. We had a blast at the reception. We drank and danced all night long. At one point fireworks were being shot off too. It was by far the best wedding reception we've been too. After the reception we went back to the hotel and partied some more. I didn't make it as long as everyone else did but it was still great.
We had so much fun with our family and God has blessed us so much to be so close with all of them. I hope that never changes. We wish there were more weddings and more excuses to get together. We are all already planning our next trip together.
We flew home Monday and that was that. Labor Day is over and it's a short week this week. I am happy for that.
We are going to the Razorback game in LR this weekend. Hopefully they'll pull off a win like last weekend. Maybe not so close though.
So long....
