We went North for last weekend. Along the way we encountered much drama due to delayed flights at O'hare on Thursday. Eeesh. The airport was a mess with frazzled travelers running everywhere and throwing amazing temper tantrums due to the weather and other issues out of the gate agent's control.
Fortunately we have family near Chicago and our sister-in-law was willing to pack all the kiddos up and come get us from the airport, making our 7 (8?) hour layover much more enjoyable
We eventually got to Minneapolis and to the wedding, which was the original reason for our trip, and was a blast!
Mr. & Mrs. Kyle Sommer!
Reunited with some of my best friends that I grew up with - it's the first time in over two years we've all been together at once and it was aweeeeesome!

On Saturday my mom and I threw Erica a baby shower - which was also grand. What's not to love? A bunch of ladies sitting around playing games, eating, and yapping our heads off.

Once again there was drama trying to get home as flights out of Minneapolis were cancelled. We made it to Chicago and sat around all day until at the last second possible, Scott got the last seat on the last flight to New Orleans for the night. I headed off to the relatives again and was able to spend the night/next morning there lovin' on some of my favorite kiddos, before finally getting home Monday night.
This week is proving to be a little crazy with Scott working every night, overseeing projects on the house, and me finishing up my second quarter of school. I fly out again first thing on Thursday morning for a Birth Center Conference in Pennsylvania that is required for one of my classes. *Deep breaths* Life will calm down a little someday...right?
P.S. Joy, joy - we have our kitchen layout figured out, as of yesterday! I get giddy just thinking about it.
