Chicago Wedding

 A few weeks ago Casey and I left the kids, yes all three boys and we flew out to Chicago where my older brother Chad got married. I had never been there, but Casey actually served his mission there and was pretty excited to get back. I loved it there. We had sooooo much fun! Did a lot of walking around the city, there is sooo much to see there.   This is a pic of Ali and I the night of the wedding.

 One of the days we took a bus tour on a double-decker bus and drove us around the town, of course it was the hottest of the days that we chosd to do this. But I loved it.    It was soo much fun to get to hang out with all my family, no kids, for 3 days. We could go and do what we wanted when we wanted. I never get to see my family, and havent seen Chad in over a year, so it was so good to able to spend a lot of time with everyone.  I havent laughed that hard in a long time. Brandon can make me laugh harder than anyone I know.

 Giardonos' pizza is to die for. Id heard of it and heard it was good, but untill you try it.   Man it was good!!

 We thought we would take a bus back from this museum to our hotel, man was that a bad idea. There were so many people  crammed on that bus, sweating, and stuck in traffic, I think the bus driver was drunk.   We finally just got off and walked the rest of the way.  It was hilarious.

 All the siblings together at last, its been almost 2 years since we've been all together.

 So the wedding was out on a river boat that floated down the Chicago river, and then out into Lake Michigan.  This is the city at night; beautiful. The wedding was absolutely awesome out on the river. It was perfect weather and a lot of fun

 there was a firework show after the ceremony.

 Chads friend Chase married them; he did an awesom job

 The cute couple. Chad and Mo. They met in Pennsylvania, they were both going to dental school at Penn State. They both just recently graduated and are moving to Boston to finish up there residency; Chad is going into endodontics(root canals) and Mo into Orthodontics.  They are the cutest couple.  I coudn't have found anyone more perfect for eathother. Aren't they so cute!?

 I thought it was so awesome that a bunch of Chads closest friends flew out there for his wedding.

 Casey wishes he was this much taller than me.
