Looks like James wants somebody to join him on the dance floor...yep, it was me.
Tamara de Waard and I - both the supportive wives of the groomsman, and all with our roots in Lynden
Ahh...the candy buffet
The food buffet was beautiful
Bride and Grooms first dance
Too much Guitar Hero, James?
B.J. and Rachel taking thier vows
Rachel's beautiful dress!
James walking down the aisle with Rachel's friend, Kailen.
James and I at the reception hall - my dress matches his tie!
Here we are at Volunteer Park on Capitol Hill...we got to watch Andy in his first big cateogry 3 bike race.
Andy's in the pack somewhere!
On sunny days in Seattle you've got to get a slurpee! (Especially if you live in Ballard...slurpees might not be as popular with the Queen Anne moms)
Just like the good ol' days of late nights in college, crashing on the couch.
James eventually crashed our party...
James and I are finally back home in the Evergreen State, and it has been a wonderful time thus far! We love being back near the mountains and the ocean, and we had a great blessing of sunshine and 70 degree weather on Saturday. It was perfect for Emily, Laura, Janelle and I to go watch Andy's bike race at Volunteer Park on Capitol Hill. And James said the wedding pics were great in the sunshine at Greenlake....good times all around!
Hangin' out with friends was fabulous - wine and cheese party with Kristen, Emily, Laura, and Janelle; Pancake breakfast at Jay and Trisha's house; shopping downtown and meeting Andy for lunch at Specialty's; James played a lot of guitar hero...(good thing we don't have that at home!), and we finally got to check out the new building at Bethany on Sunday.
The wedding was also beautiful - the rehearsal dinner at McCormick's and Schmicks was delightful...we haven't had good fish in far too long! And the wedding was perfectly Rachel and B.J. - we had lots of dancing and good food and laughs with friends.
Now we're home with our families - we just had a big family dinner last night, and we are currently still in our pj's at 12:00pm noon, browsing magazines and the internet and watching the crazy weather outside - it's hailing big ice balls that our bouncing off the lawn. (I thought it was April!?!?) Anyhow, I'm always so amazed everytime I come home at what wonderful friends and family we have. Laura and Emily are always so gracious in letting us stay at thier place, and driving us around and hosting us and makin' it feel like old times. And our families are so excited to spend time with us and lavish us with food and quality time and hugs. It is a good life...and in the day to day mundane moments where I feel more glum than I should I need to remember the days like today where I feel like I couldn't imagine a better life if I tried. Praise God for the wonder and beauty and excitement of good friends and family!
