I have laundry up to my eyeballs, my house is not at all unpacked from our final move into our new house last weekend, I started a new cooking job today, Brady is out of town all week and I miss vacation.

Shall we relive the rehearsal evening, instead of me going to bed or getting something done?

  I think so.

The date: Friday, August 12, 2011

The place: St. Joseph, Michigan

The occasion of the evening: Rehearsal and Rehearsal dinner then celebrating

The boys cleaned up well after playing in the sand all day at the beach party.

We gathered at our house before heading to the church. Everyone was on time and ready to go!

My mom made the centerpieces last week and they had a fun lakey feel.

The party was fabulous! The toasts, slideshow, conversations, food and excitement were all wonderful! I’ll let the pictures tell the rest.

Linds’ Maid of Honor, Katelin, is amazing! Not only did she think of everything for Linds, she also sang Ava Maria in the wedding and sand At Last at the reception. We love her!

After the rehearsal, we went to Silver Beach Pizza (a bar, also) which we fondly called TRAIN BAR. Since it was close to the railroad tracks.
