Uncle Nate & Aunt Lauren's Wedding/Anniversary

Adam's brother Nate got married on Friday night and the wedding/reception were absolutely gorgeous and alot of fun! Adam was the best man. We ate at a fabulous restaurant called September's in Hendersonville for the rehearsal dinner....and the food at the reception was awesome! There was prime rib, squash casserole, mashed potatoes, salad, etc and of course wedding cake! I tried some of each (b/c I didn't want to hurt Nate or Lauren's feelings)...the groom's cake was an orange cake with chocolate icing...great combination. It was delicious!...but it didn't help with my losing any weight:o)

Thank goodness for my mom (aka Rachel's Nana) as she came down on Thursday and Friday to help with Rachel so Adam and I could enjoy the wedding events. Rachel came to the wedding and slept right through it (thank goodness) but she stayed home with Nana for the rehearsal dinner. It was the night of our anniversary, so it was nice to go out for dinner (that we didn't even have to pay for!) and actually get to eat together:o) We normally have to eat in shifts as Rachel seems to figure out when dinner is ready and then get cranky. Rachel didn't do real great for all the wedding pictures. I think it was all the bright lights. We used the pacifier "trick" by putting it in long enough to get her happy and then pulling it out right before the picture was taken. My hope is that they got at least one good one for Nate and Lauren's album. We got a few cute ones with our own camera though.








Adam got me a gorgeous set of a dozen roses for our anniversary and I got him a Bob Marley 2-CD set. We've been listening to it and "imagining" we're at the beach since we won't get a beach vacation this year. We also treated ourselves to the movie "Yesman". It's a Jim Carrey movie that is really funny!
