Then I stopped off in Dallas, while Kyle headed home to College Station. July 6, I left for Michigan with my family for my grandpa and step-grandma's 15 year wedding anniversary. Here's a picture of my grandparents:
I definitely wasn't hurting for rest and relaxation there. I gorged myself on fresh fruit, cheese, and desserts. Plus we had pasties - yum!
I had an unexpected layover in Chicago, but made it back to College Station on July 12. When I got here our wood floors were being sanded. (That's one of the loudest noises I have ever heard. Ever.) Next morning, the subcontractor told me we wouldn't have access to the bathroom for 2 days straight. We quickly realized how smelly and uncomfortable that would be. We called our general contractor upset that no one had thought to inform us. Thankfully, he agreed to cover our hotel bill, so I packed up again to stay at the only hotel in town we could find with rooms still available. With a New Student Conference, a 7 man high school football tournament, and a statewide fireman training, things were booked!
We stayed there for our 5 year anniversary this weekend too. We reminisced and visited old places we lived, the restaurant we went to on our first date, and the chapel we got married at. We went to see the Harry Potter movie on Sunday, because we love all the Harry Potter books. Not so much the movies, but what are you gonna do? The woman who made our wedding cake also gave us a free cake topper. So much cake!
If you're looking for possibly the best cake with the yummiest icing, check out Cinderella Stories. Fair warning: we had to follow-up with them a couple of times to get all the details straight during our wedding. But now that we're married, we mostly just care that the cakes taste like heaven.
So that's my story, and now I'm back!
