ruco and kristi are married!

i am going to try to put into the words how awesome last weekend was. it was the most fun i have had in quite some time. we stopped in chattanooga to pick up my little danielle, then the next morning continued to pcola. the weekend was so jam packed with awesome times. first of all it was sooo good to see tara. i havnt seen her since christmas and i love her so much. she is a one of a kind friend and i love getting to hang out with her, i cherish her so much. i of course was able to see everyone else as well but i was home two weeks before this so i was slightly more psychotic when i saw those that i had forgotten what they looked like cuz it had been so long! anyway, thursday night was toris bachelorette party. We ate at Zea's and then headed to her hotel room on the beach to hang out in the hot tub and talk about the sex that was to be had in a couple days! haha! yea! well, the next day was the bridal luncheon at my parents house. we ate, swam, and layed out. i just really enjoy my girl time when im home. i dont get a lot of just girls time with a bunch of awesome ladies up here so i just love it! well after the pool party, me and justin ran some wedding errands for kristi and then we got ready for the rehearsal. we practiced for the little wedding and then all went to dinner. ruco and kristi are two of the greatest people, with the greatest families. it was so sweet hearing all the good things people had to say about them. well that night a few of us stayed with kristi at the hotel. all the groomsman went out for the bachelor party so my little husband was busy. the next morning i woke up a little early. the sun was rising over the beach and it was hot pink. it was so beautiful. i forgot how breathtaking the beach can be. i fell back asleep for a little while and then woke up to kristi's excitement. she was standing on the balcony watching all the dolphins swim. there were so many of them and they were so close to the shore. it was awesome. me and kristi headed to our houses to get everything together for the day. we later all met at kristi and ruco's new apartment and got our hair done, put our makeup on, and were picked up by the lemo to go to skopelos. it was just the most awesome day. kristi was the happiest i have ever seen her and so beautiful. we all had so much fun and were so excited for what was about to happen. kristi and ruco truly were made for one another. they are the cutest sweetest couple and i am so happy for them! the wedding was sooooo beautiful and the reception was such a blast! we sent them away for the honeymoon and then the night was over. i was so sad because i went from having so much fun with so many people i love to having to say goodbye to everyone because the next day i was coming back to ohio. here is a pic of me and kristi, isnt she beautiful!
so, once again the drive back seemed like it took forever. we are now back in the swing of things, it took a few days to get the house cleaned up and actually unpack but things are back to normal. dont get me wrong, i do enjoy and appreciate all that i am able to do, i just look so forward to those moments when i am back in the presence of those that love and know me so well. i always miss you all, and always love you. you're my heart.
