Kevin's sister Teresa got married last Saturday, so we traveled up to KC for the event. We rented a little red Ford Focus (nerdy car) and took off. Kevin was feeling pretty sick (a cold) on Wednesday when we left, so I drove the entire way up - 9 hours (with stops)! But we made it throug OK and KS.
We stayed in a hotel for 3 nights. On Thursday Teresa picked me up from the hotel and we had our nails done, but not before making a brief stop at Starbucks for some joe and Walgreens for Kevin some kleenex and juice. After our nails we met Teresa's mom at the church to start decorating. That night we celebrated Kevin's dad's 60th birthday at an all-you-can-eat Italian buffet called Cenzetti's. It was really good, but not good enough for us to need a "tour" of the buffet. I think we can find the food ourselves!
Friday we finished up the last minute details at the church and had the afternoon to relax. Then the rehersal and dinner - at Ryan's, another all-you-can-eat buffet. I'm telling you, I gained weight after this trip!
The wedding was absolutely beautiful! I did my duties (Mandy) but fixing her dress without falling on my face, and not dropping the ring. Kevin did a great job in delivering the charge (he felt a lot better by Saturday).
After the wedding we went on to Lebanon so we could have some time to spend with the Offutt clan. I got to see my new niece Chloe. Macy and Anna loved their uncle Kevin. We had a good time in Missouri, but we're glad to be back in Texas.
