We just got back from a lovely weekend in Caliornia for Elizabeth's sister's wedding. The temperature here in Iowa was cooling down (lows in the 50s and highs in the 60s) before we left on Thursday for Califonia and felt like we had returned to summer with tempratures in the 70s and above. Elizabeth's friend, who works in the city, picked us up from the San Francisco airport, then we went out for Japanese (sushi) to thank her before being dropped off at Elizabeth's parent's house.
Friday we loaded up the car of things that needed to be taken to the church. John stayed to hangout with a Elizabeth's dad and youngest brother and have a chance to eat at In-N-Out. Elizabeth went with her mom and close family friend to the church and then Elizabeth met her former BSF (Bible Study Fellowship) Teaching Leader at the Spaghetti Factory for lunch before going back to the church to continue helping get things ready and rehearsal followed by a lovely supper in Elizabeth's grandma's backyard.
Saturday up early to get the church to get ready for the big day. We took pictures before the ceremony. The ceremony was lovely John helped usher and Elizabeth was one of the bridesmaids. Cleaned up everything and then another supper over at grandma's Saturday night.
Sunday we were up at 2am to get to the airport by 4am. Made it back to Iowa with no delays and then stopped at John's friend's house from college who is now also married and has an 18 month old daughter and lives near the Des Moines airport. We ate a lovely supper and enjoyed playing a game before heading the rest of the way home.
We got home and our lawn is once again covered in leaves and the tree is almost bear and back to wearing coats, a light frost in the morning, and the heater turned on for the next 5 months.
We did take the camera, but as usual it stayed at the bottom of our bags and never came out until we unpacked when we returned home. :)
