Good Friends, Good Times

At the beginning of June my very good friend Melissa got married so Peter and I of course had to make the trek cross country to the joyous occasion! Alan unfortunately had to stay home and study and work in the OR. So I braved the flight with overlay to Cali with a very active 9 month old armed with snacks and my trusty Born carrier. He did surprisingly well especially since the day before the trip he decided that he was done nursing! I definitely had a slight panic attach since he has never had formula and hadn't been a huge fan of the bottle. But like a champ he had no problems with the adjustment, I think I on the other hand had more separation anxiety than he did!

It was a fun trip and I am so excited for Melissa she and her new husband seem so perfect for each other. We also got to visit with some other good friends that were close by-I wish I would have had time to visit everyone but that would have taken a month and once all the wedding festivities were over there was not that much time. I did realize how much a a little social butterfly my son is. I don't think he met one stranger the whole trip!

Peter and I waiting with some of my girlfriends for the happy couple to make their exit from the temple. The happy couple!We snuck in a shot with the happy bride! Isn't that bouquet beautiful!My good friend Gretchen was so kind as to watch Peter during the sealing and then she and I had lunch and spent the afternoon picking red raspberries in her backyard-YUM!Visiting with Mark and Liz-I am so glad we had a chance to stop in and say hi. I am a firm believer that you can adopt "family" anywhere you go and they are one of those families that I will forever be grateful for their love and support.
Peter especially loved the Harley-notice his shirt!

We were lucky enough to stay at a friends house during our visit and I unfortunately did not get any pictures of our stay there-but it was so fun to stay with them and renew those bonds of friendship and love. I am so blessed to have such good friends!

As much fun as it was I was so glad to be home and to see Alan, I am not sure who missed who the most!
