Sorry I was gone for a bit...

I know it seems like I have dropped of the face of the blogging planet, but that's what I pretty much did. Last wednesday Eric and I got our in our truck and made the 18 hour drive to Rifle, Colorado. We were there for one purpose, my sisters wedding and it was absolutely beautiful! One of my cousins told me that I was the first to cry during the ceremony. It was just such a wonderful day. I love seeing my sister so happy and I think it's so cool that we got married in the same summer. For those of you who were at my wedding you would recognize a lot of food (the meatballs and the mints were a hit here too!) There were father/daughter and mother/son dances that brought tears to my eyes again! I heard I made a good matron of honor speech and my cousin Joey and I sang a Def Leopard song and when it was Karaoke time! The real adventure began when we were headed back to Oregon and we had one more person in the cab of our pick up truck. Coleen, Eric, and I lasted over 20 hours and have all been brought to a higher level of friendship. There wasn't a single moment when you weren't touching the other person and since I am the shortest I was always in the middle! I got a little cranky somewhere in Oregon, but I just slept (or pretended to sleep.)

When we got back to Oregon (at 9:00am) Eric and I got to sleep in our bed until 1:30pm and then he had to take me to Astoria so I could be part of the youth mission trip. That is where I have been until today. Eric came out to Astoria yesterday because he had the day off and we spent the night camping out with the youth group near Saddle Mountain. We woke up at 5:30 this morning so he could be to work by 9:00 and I went to sleep until noon!

Right now I am just catching up on the blogging scene, reading e-mails, and figuring out how we are going to pay bills this month. Does anyone know anyone who is looking to buy a car in the next few weeks? Eric is trying to sell his. It's a 1998 (I believe) Ford Tempo (black.) I can give more details to anyone interested.

So I am back now for a while. Events coming up: Faith Quest and another trip to Colorado for my counsin T.J.'s wedding. I am sad that summer is coming to an end. I barely even have my long awaited Chaco's tan line! But this has been the best summer in a long time... yes this statement has everything to do with the fact that I got married just three months ago. What about you? What has been the highlight of your summer?
