Jen and Chad's Wedding

We spent the weekend in Galena, IL celebrating the nuptials of Jen and Chad.  Robert and I had a lot of great family time.  He worked frantically on the drive there, he had a 6:00 pm pacific coast deadline, and we needed to be in Galena by 6:00 central time.  I think it might have been the second time in 12 years of marriage that I have driven him on a trip.  It really isn't his favorite thing, and usually makes him a little nauseous to be the passenger. I drove the first two hours, he submitted his work and took over.  And you know what, he didn't do another work related thing the rest of the weekend, it was so nice.  He has been working or on the phone constantly for the last month, it was so nice to just have him.  It was so refreshing.  The only thing that would have made it more perfect is more than one bed in our hotel room.  My public complaint is if you are going to call the room a suite, and you are going to make it big, and you are going to but a sitting area with a couch in it, why in the world would you not make the couch a pull out like every-other hotel in the world.  Five people, one bed... thankful it was a king, but really.

 

Robert walked Jen down the isle until she met Dallas.  The ceremony was wonderful.  The location perfect, and it is super good luck to have it rain on your wedding day.  We figured out that it rained on Mark and April's day as well as Robert and I's day, so why  not theirs!

 The Trolley ride downtown to the dinner reception was a big hit with these kids!
