Wedding fun

Well let me tell you about our adventures from the wedding outting! It started with a very abrupt waking up super late for our plane. We woke up at 6:30 on Thursday (Jacob accidently turned the 5 am alarm off) and our plane left at 7:30! Thankfully we were all packed. We threw some clothes on, I dressed poor sleepy Bella and we were out the door in 12 minutes! ( but no breakfast:( We ran in the airport and made it. Jacob with his shoes and belt in hand! An hour later we were in Philly. The rest of the day went pretty fast. We had some fun family time all in the pool. Christine (our youngest sister), her boyfriend, John and I helped Amy with wedding favors. Saturday- wedding day! The boys went golfing. I can't remember what the girls ended doing! Maybe the reason for my fogginess of the order of events is because Isabella was a bit of a nightmare! She was screaming for a good portion of Friday and Saturday. I think many factors played into this- teething, consistpated (tmi?!) and mostly just not home. So anyways Saturday was a beautiful day. Amy and Bob looked great. The whole ceremony was beautiful, calla lilies everywhere. Christine and I (we were the maid and matron of honor) had our speech at the reception. It went quite well if I do say so myself. Bella just kept being passed around to different wonderful friends and family since Jacob and I were both in the wedding. We brought the pack and play to the reception and we were able to put Isabella to bed for a bit while we danced and ate dinner.
Sunday we woke up to thunder and rain. I should have known then that wasn't a good sign for flying that day. Thankfully Amy and Bob were driving to South Carolina for their honeymoon and not flying. We had a little breakfast with family and friends, all meeting together in the lobby. One of Amy's friends took us to the airport. When we got there we saw a long line waiting out in the rain. Then a long line inside for ticketing. We got in line and was moving along pretty well. Then little miss Isabella woke up and boy did she have a suprise for us! Remember what one of her problems was from the past few days? (no poop..) Then an explosion! YUCK! All over her car seat and everything:( I ran to the bathroom with her and tried to clean her up as best and fast as I could while Jacob waited in line. We got to our gate and everywhere was so crowded. No seats, so we sat on the floor for a while. Thankfully we didn't have to stay on the floor too long.. Everyone's flight was either delayed at least 2-3 hours or cancelled altogether. Our flight was suppose to leave at 2:50 and we ended up being in the airport all day! I think God wanted to give us a break after such a hard time with Bella over the weekend, because she was simply AMAZING! We were in the airport for like 6 or 7 hours. I think we got on our plane around 6 something. By the time we landed, got our bags, drove home it was 9 pm! What a day!
