Saying Goodbye (this time, the same old story)

(I added pictures to the Easter, wedding, and reception posts, if interested...and some cute videos on reception...)
(Bonus if you know where the title comes from) I'll be adding pictures later to all the posts related to the wedding as I get them. (a side note to any family that might be reading this :)

Saturday morning. The wedding is over! The chaos is over! All the running around is over! But now it is time to say goodbye :( My Mom woke up sick with the flu! She felt very blessed to have been well during all the festivities since lots of others were getting sick. There are very important roles that mothers play in a wedding (to be there for Carlee in the inititory and endowment, in the bride's room before the sealing, and after to help get ready for pictures, and of course the support only a mother can give...) and to have missed that would have been devastating for both her and Carlee.

The morning consisted of packing up and leaving. It was sad to say goodbye, but always inevitable. We hugged, we cried, we chased Aubree down the street a few times, and then they were gone. Shortly after, they were back :) You always forget something. But then they really left. No matter how nice it is to have my space back and less noise and chaos, I would always trade it in a heartbeat to have my family stay. It's always an adventure.

Jenni and Corey were still with us and we had a good time relaxing the rest of the day.
