wedding weekend

Back on the blog and happy to be home! :) This post is giving me fits because I've too much to blog about this go around! My computer has finally given up the ghost and I am mourning its painful death which has left a sad dark hole in my life. So I better get my tears dried while I use Danl's laptop for a bit. The past weekend was wonderful; every minute was packed with family, friends, and fun! We left out Thursday morning. (gave me quite the feelings of de ja vu to be traveling with my parents again after being married for 7 years!!) We stopped in Hebron, KY, for night; then took in the Creation Museum the next day. It was spectacular! I loved the 4-D theatre, and the amazing "Garden of Eden" in the outdoor part of the museum. My big mouth scored us some free tickets to the planetarium show which was interesting as well! Friday evening found us in Washington Court, Ohio, where we were pleased to make acquaintance with the lovely Lydia and adorable lil Kaycie! She is a doll! It was beyond delightful to see my Smith family again, and other friends that fell into the "long time no see" category. We tried to make the most of the time together; which resulted in the beds at the Holiday Inn Express not having to support our sleeping selves for very many hours! Saturday morning began with a bustling breakfast. (I wonder if the hotel staff were quite frazzled by the swarms of Mennos downing coffee!) The wedding was soon over and the happy couple were on their way to who knows where! :) The rest of us chatted the afternoon away at the hotel before eating a much-waited for steak supper! Like usual, I gobbled so many soft steakhouse rolls that I could barely down my steak and loaded baked sweet potato! The next highlight was taking in a few runs of the nearby truck pull! That was exhilarating! I love me some diesels - I enjoy taking interest in them since the hubs does! Vanessa and Seth agreed to let me tag along home with them. (hope they survived!) We finally headed for home  Sunday morning almost 2 hours later than the intended time, but we treasured more good belly laughs and lingering goodbyes. The following hours on the interstate dragged along, but the company made up for it! Finally the welcome sight of the Wind Creek Casino peaked on the horizon....and I was soon home sweet home with Danl and the dogs!
