and even happier when she asked me to be in it! But I live thousands of miles away and had no holiday time left to take. So luckily she just happened to plan it during one of our bank holidays and with how much overtime I work I was able to work the hours in the same week and did not have to take anytime off.So
Thursday morning I caught a plane and few all day to reach Portland just before midnight. Friday mom and I drove the 5+ hours to Shady Cove just in time to do hugs, wedding rehearsal, quick dinner and then into bed. Saturday was the wedding all day long which was amazing. No bridezilla moments. 
Karaoke to some country songs. Aiden got involved with the vows since he could not understand why everyone was staring at his parents and he was not the centre of attention. I was such a wonderful day to not only to see two people that belong together get married, but all of our friends that I have missed so much. Sunday after a quick breakfast where nearly the entire wedding took over the restaurant,
it was back up to Portland but with Mark and Whitney with us! They were heading back to Arizona but leaving out of Portland as well to see Mark's family. It was great being able to catch up over such a long drive. I had enough time in Portland to see my brother and his wife. Then Monday back on the plane and straight into work after landing. It was hard for me to believe how quick that trip was and that I was even in America!
