A Wedding and General Wackiness

I ended up on a whirl wind trip out to Utah a week and a half ago. One of my SuperFriends was getting married and I was a surprise guest at her wedding. I got in town just in time for a girls night out. One of my friends and I went over to the brides house to pick her up and we were immediately stopped by the family. Apparently, the bride's apartment building back in Pennsylvania was on fire and it was a total loss and she was on the phone at the very moment trying to get more details. Everything they owned, most of their wedding presents and a new car went up in flames. What a devastating loss to have two days before you get married!!! The bride, I think, took everything in stride and even though she was very upset handled the news reasonably well. I was very impressed. I even had the privilege to help her file insurance claims the morning of her wedding.

Girls Night Out

For the girls night out we went miniature golfing. I hadn't done it in years and it was good just to be silly and hang out with some of my girls. A couple of them I hadn't seen in years!! I had a lot of fun catching up and hearing all the fun adventures all of them are having (except for the fire of course). The entire trip was a little crazy and I was all over the place, but it was a nice rest from the kids. Plus, now that the SuperKids are a little older, SuperDad was up to the challenge of watching them for a few days on his own. I also got a new mom to add to my family while I was out there. The Bride's Aunt from Australia and I had a great time together and she offered to be one of my mommies. Australian Moms Rock!! How could I refuse?! For an sixty-eight year old she was kicking it up on the dance floor the entire night of the wedding. The Bride's entire family is so awesome and have always been so good to me. The wedding and reception took place up a beautiful canyon and it was such a nice, cool, perfect night.

My newest Mommy!

With all the wedding stuff going on I was still able to visit a few other people. I was able to meet up with my sister and her four kids to meet the latest addition to the family. My sister and I were able to take the kids to this roller skating rink (yes, they still exist) that also had tons of those huge bouncer things and climbing mazes and such. It was so cool!! We need one of those in Iowa! We were all able to go out to lunch with my mother (the real one), my brother-in-law, my sister and all the kids. I had another lunch out with my mother and mother-in-law. Right before I got on the plane to go home I was able to visit with one of my other favorite families. Brouhaha Brienne is soon to be married as well and I couldn't be happier for her!!!! It was really good to see their SuperFamily again!

Brouhaha Brienne and Family

It was really good to see the kids again. I didn't get to talk to them till the next day because my flights were delayed due to SNOW in Denver. SNOW in AUGUST!!! What's up with that? So I got in really late and the kids were already in bed. The kids were ridiculously excited the next morning though. That made up for it. I spent the next week recovering from the whirlwind trip. For some reason I don't fly east very well. I travel west just fine every time whether I'm going somewhere or going home. Does anyone have any insight as to why this happens? Till next time SuperFans!!
