I've been trying to sit down and blog about our weekend for a few days now. We had so much fun and took way too many pictures--and now I'm struggling to condense it all into a few posts and actually come up with the words to write about it. So, here it goes:
Thursday, July 10th was our 9 year wedding anniversary! We celebrated by going to Sunriver for the weekend, which also coincided with Renee and Jeff's wedding and all the festivities surrounding their big day. My best friend, Jaimi, flew into Eugene from San Francisco on Thursday morning and we spent a few hours with the kids before driving to Sunriver. Jaimi's last visit was just days before Griffin was born (she was planning to be there for his birth, but he didn't cooperate), so this was her first time meeting him in person (: We got all packed up and left the kids in the loving hands of Grammie and Grandpa (Josh's parents) for 3 nights. Well, they first spent the afternoon with Aunt Katrina and Finley until G&G got off work. We hadn't been away from our boys for more than two nights at a time, and it had been 2 years since Josh and I had been away on our own (without kids or high schoolers!). It was a much needed vacation for us!
We arrived in Sunriver just in time to get Jaimi to the wedding rehearsal at 4:00. She was a bridesmaid and I was the guest book attendant. I didn't have to be at the rehearsal so Josh and I got a snack and checked into our condo during that time, and then we met up with the wedding party for the rehearsal dinner. Jeff's parents reserved a restaurant called Marcello's and graciously hosted all the drinks, dinner, and dessert! Everyone had a great time visiting with friends and family of the bride and groom--the excitement grew as the evening went on!
On to the pictures:
