Currently Listening When All That's Left Is You By Quietdrive Both Ways see related

Well, Lauren and Caleb are married. It seriously did not sink in until Lauren was practically walking down the aisle, and now that it's over I realize how much I miss my former roommate (whenever you read this, I love you, Lauren!). That being said, the ceremony was truly the most beautiful I had ever been a part of. I am so thankful for the opportunity to visit where Lauren spent her childhood, to meet all of her "WA" friends, and to experience northeast Washington in all its undoing splendor. I wouldn't redo the flying part of the trip (next time we'll stay in Vegas, girls ), but everything in between I'd gladly do again. And again. 

In fact, I miss it. And Ronnie. () For explanation purposes, Ronnie was our host this weekend, and being at her house was like visiting a five-star hotel that was owned by your grandmother. Seriously. Our room was essentially a suite. We had our own bathroom and vanity, king-sized bed, coffee maker, and food basket. Our room led out to a balcony that overlooked the Columbia River, which sunk below a sea of mountains. One morning we awoke to a note slipped below our door. It read: "I'm making eggs benedict this morning. Let me know what time you girls want breakfast." She was just like that. It was a joy to her and her husband, Jim (who was amazing, too, by the way--he loved his wife so much), to love people they didn't even know. I aspire to their warmth.

Well, I'll stop writing and post some pictures. These were all taken by our incredible photographer, Carmen, and since I know she wants to do a post of her own, I'll only put up a couple (or few, I guess *sheepish grin*):

Dorks!

At Ronnie's!

Go Groomsmen! And ... Best Man!! Oh, and ... Usher!! These guys were a blast to hang out with this weekend.

Here's to Lauren and Caleb.
