Weekend to Arkansas

Several Blogs posted today...

We left Thursday for Arkansas and the drive was long but went very well. Madeleine did great! We got to the hotel about 12:00am. Madeleine woke up when we got there and was up until about 3am...that wasn't fun! Oh and then back up at 8:00am. We got up had a nice breakfast, went swimming and then got ready for the day. We took Madeleine to go play but decided to go to Build A Bear because she was looking tired. She picked out a cute Dog, stuffed it, bathed it, picked out the clothes and dresses it. She did so well even with a stroller calling her name. She named the dog Paisley. After that we went to lunch with the Frazier's and then back to the hotel for a nap. I got about a 30 min one before I had to get ready for the rehersal. We got all ready and headed out. The rehersal went great and Madeleine did great also. After the rehersal we sat around waiting for the reservations for the Catfish Hole. Funny side note...Mr. Gary, the preacher and Sarah's Dad was finalizing some of the stuff with the bridal party and made a comment about the bubbles and our meals. Sarah's mom just heard bubbles and asked, "Who is bubbles?" Not missing a beat Gary said Bubble's is the stripper!" We all busted out laughing, never would have expected that out of his mouth. We get to the Catfish Hole and start with pickles, cold slaw and hush puppies. I only had about a dozen hush puppies (literally) before our food came. I chose catfish and it was amazing!!! I was stuffed!!! Oh and then Blake's Mom (mother of the groom) made these cheese cakes for dessert and they were to die for. I do not eat crust but this crust was like sugar butter...soooo good. After that we went out for the Surprise Ligerie Shower for Sarah and then a drink. It was nice. We got up Saturday, all got our hair done, went to Taco Bell and headed to the Chapel and Maddie went back for a nap. We took lots of pictures in the hot sun and all sweated like crazy! I can't wait to see the pictures though. Then came the wedding. Madeleine was so cute and did so well! The ceremony of light and humorus...especially at the end when Mr. Gary told Sarah and Blake "Now go forth and multiply!" LOL!!! Then the food was good and as we did at my wedding, Me, Sarah, Natalie, My dad and Sarah's dad did our lovely dance! Mom took pictures and a video this time. I will have to get it from her to post, also I apparently did not take to many pictures so I will have to steal those also. Sunday we got up and headed out. The drive took a little longer than expected...we stopped at Mc Donalds only to find out that every camp in the area was going there...like 100 kids. Then we had to stop a couple of times. We finally got home and it was nice to be back. I have a bit of a cold and feel bad but we had a nice weekend and now can start relaxing for this baby. The wedding was great, the weekend was great and My little Sarah is married!!!!
The only appropriate picture...and yes she put the panties on her head.
