Monday Blues!!

Yep it's Monday!! Back to work. It's hard to go back to work after you have such a lovely weekend. Rick had all last week off. Reality has set in; back to work for him. He will be missed!!
We went to Iowa which was a brutal 5 hour drive, but was well worth it. Okay it wasn't that bad of a drive. We didn't take the scenic route. We saw nothing but corn fields. And heard nothing but the kids bickering. We went to Iowa for Rick's cousin's wedding. It was a story book wedding. As all the out of town family stayed in a wonder hotel. Which my daughter was happy to know that there was a pool. So lets just say that was one of her highlights of the weekend. We were all taken by trolley to the church. Which was located in the Living History part of Des Moines, IA. It's a little mach town of the 1800's. As you drive up a little dirt road you can see the little white church upon the hill. You can also see a little town like setting. With a general store, saloon, and 4 other types of buildings. As we all unload out of the trolley; we walk up this wooden plank path that leads us to the church. I must say that path all most took me out. As one of my heels got caught in a notch. I survived the almost embarrassing situation. It was a truly amazing and beautiful place for a wedding. We had a fun time with our family, and it was truly great seeing everyone again. It was just simply lovely.
