I have been horrible about updating my blog so I'm just going to try and do a couple of the main trips/events over the past few months. First off.........
Chris and Zale decided that they were going to get married in Hawaii and my mom and dad made it possible for the family to enjoy a wonderful trip and wedding on Maui in May (thanks mom and dad :D ). It was a wonderful trip that we will always remember. Drew and I had a little snag getting there. When we got the airport Sunday morning to leave the flight had been delayed which would have meant that we would have missed our connecting flight in Phoenix to get to Maui. The lady from the airlines told us that if we could make it to LA we could would be able to get on a flight that would still make it to Maui that night. I decided that we should give it a try so we ran through the airport and found a southwest flight that went to Vegas and then to LA and we would have about 1 hour to make the connector to Maui. Everything seemed to be going well until we were about to land in LA and all of the sudden the plan pulled back up and circled over the ocean for about another 30+ minutes. When we finally landed there were fire trucks and ambulances all around us because we had lost one of our hydraulics and they were worried that when we landed the wheels wouldn't hold and we would skid along our belly on the runway. Obviously, that didn't happen and we were fine except for the fact that we didn't have enough time to make our next flight. We got to the ticket counter 5 minutes before our flight was supposed to leave and they wouldn't let us on. So we spent the night in LA. We were both pretty upset from the events of the whole day but still went to the beach to try and make the best of it.
After waking up at 4 in the morning to make our flight the next morning (with no bags) we finally made it to Maui. Even though it was stressful getting there we had an amazing time. It was the first trip Drew and I had really been on without the kids (thanks Joni for watching them). I think it made us realize we need to make a greater effort to take time for the two of us. It was so nice to go on a trip with my family. It is really only the 2nd time since we've been married that we've been on a trip with them and it was wonderful.
The wedding itself was wonderful. There was a little confusion with the man that married them - he had the wrong date. But after all of the initial confusion and stress it was so nice. Zale looked beautiful and it was a wonderful night. It was so nice to be able to get to know Zale's family better. I had tons of pictures so here are a couple for those who don't watch the slide show.
