And we're leaving, in a minivan?

So, in a couple of hours when hubby gets home, we're going to make the 10 hour drive up to St Louis. Ten hours, trapped in a van with a 22 month old, a 6 and a 9 year old. Give me patience, Lord. 

Why are we going up to St Louis? My dear sister is getting married on Saturday! At some point, we dropped the "in-law" after the sister. I love that girl. I've known her since she was 13. 13! And here she is, about to get married. Crazy. 

So Arielle and Jasmin are her flower girls and I'm her bridesmaid. I told her that I'm not going to show up at the wedding unless I get to hold the biggest bouquet ;)

I'm 99% sure I'm all packed. I've had a pile of "stuff we need to bring" sitting in the hallway for at least a week. But with my pregnancy brain, watch me forget my dress. Or one of the kids, whatever. 

So, congratulations Sam and JD! No, your eyes aren't deceiving you. She's 5'2. He's 6'8.

 But they're perfect for each other. Here's to the beginning of the rest of your lives!
