So, because of the nature of my life, my presence was required at two back to back weddings last weekend...5 hours apart and 12 hours from home. Allow me to clarify...
My darling friend Cristina Baker requested my presence in her wedding on June 6th at 6:00 p.m. in Cincinatti. No problem, right? Right. Until my favorite cousin got engaged and planned her wedding for June 7th at 1:30 p.m...in Pennsylvania. Uh-oh.
I left my wonderful husband on Tuesday and drove to my parents' house in Western PA, about 8 hours away. Early Wednesday morning, i drove 7 hours to Louisville, KY to see my friend Cara for a day. Thursday morning, I drove the 2 hours to Cincinatti and joined the wedding scene once again. Being involved in a wedding reminded me of the last wedding I was in (my own), and it made me miss my husband of 2 months quite a bit. However, the wedding was beautiful and exactly the way Cristina wanted it so everyone was happy. I slept for about 3 hours and headed out of Cincinatti around 2:30 a.m. Saturday morning.
I arrived in Slippery Rock, PA around 8:00 a.m. in time for my hair appointment for Erica's wedding. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing my family and friends from home again. This wedding was also gorgeous and filled with good times and memories. I crashed and got some sleep that night before packing it all up and leaving for CT Sunday morning. I made it back in time for Sunday evening church in Groton and got up early Monday morning for work. WOW! What a crazy week!
I figured out that I drove approximately 30 hours all alone. Not recommended for those who value their sanity, I must say. I'm glad I went, but I'm so glad to be home with my husband again living in this busy, fun craziness we call life. Praise the LORD for safety!
