If I were the mother of a newborn, blogging about my late nights would not be a surprise to anyone. However, I am not the mother of a newborn and after this weekend I now realize that I am not 21 either. My brother got married sunday night at 7:30pm in Memphis. It was an amazing ceremony. They got engaged six weeks ago and wanted to get married and honeymooned before SEC football went into full swing.(it at least that is my understanding) Some of you may be thinking --"WOW" her brother is a devoted fan. NO, he works forESPN 730am radio in Memphis. In fact, he is #1 in his market. But needless to say he had to get back from his honeymoon before things got crazy busy. So, our family spent the weekend celebrating Chris and Alana's wedding. We could not be happier for them.
So, you may be wondering what does this have to do with 4am? Well, after the ceremony we before home. My mom had to teach school the next morning and my kids had their first day of school. Let me tell you- we were dragging. The kids slept the best they good while Neill and I took shifts driving. Arkansas and the bootheel of Missouri is a long stretch of land at 2am. We managed to get home and in bed for a little bit before rising to meet the day.
Katie and Jack took their first day of school pictures and went to school. Neill and I ran in the house, locked the doors and closed the windows and went right back to sleep til noon. The kids came home ran into their rooms and went to sleep til 5pm.
In the end, we are now all back on schedule and no worse the wear. And there is no question in our minds that we would do it all again in a heartbeat. It was a beautiful wedding and I wish Alana and Chris all the happiness in the world.
I will post pictures later tonight
