Trip to Flagstaff


We packed up for the weekend and headed to Flagstaff for one of our dearest friends weddings.  Travis has been a huge part of our lives for the last several years and Drew had the privilege of being one of his groomsmen.  What a beautiful wedding it was too!  The reception was on a golf course so it was stunningly green and the mountains were the perfect background while we were having dinner. We are so proud of Travis and wish he and Liz the best of luck in their new adventure.
There were a few funny moments that I have to share:  
The first day we were at our hotel we (my parents, the Brantons, and Drew's dad John, and Drew and I) were all sitting by the pool when we noticed a man walk in wearing a speedo.  As if that's not funny enough we later noticed him reading in his lounge chair and... well....letting it all hang out I'll say.  I am not mature enough to handle that!  I couldn't stop laughing and looking!  It was like a car wreck.  So gross.   
I didn't think anything would top that for the weekend, but my husband came very close.  We shared a hotel room that had one king bed and one pull out couch bed with Cindy and Mike.  The boys insisted that since Cindy and I are pregnant we could share the king bed and that they would sleep on the couch.  Without arguing we agreed.  
Drew had to be up really early to be at the church, and the rest of us didn't so we slept in.  Early in the morning I heard the bathroom door open (which was right in front of our bed) and see Drew peek his head out.  Though it was very dark in the room I gave Drew a smile and he smiled back.  Then he went to the other side of the bed where my sister was sleeping.  I wondered what he was doing and why he was about to wake her up, but I thought I should wait and see.   Then he started to gently touch her shoulder to wake her.  At this point I realized that he thinks she is me, but I chose so stay as quiet as possible to see how it would play out.  She kind of opens her eyes, and he is sweetly stroking the hair out of her face and telling her that he is leaving.  Cindy, with a very confused (and a bit cranky being that it was super early and she was getting woken up) look on her face, just says "Um, I'm not your wife".  It was a priceless moment to see Drew's face as he steps back looking back and forth between the two of us with a look of dismay.  I was laughing so hard my sister is lucky we weren't sleeping in pee after that.   Drew apologized about a thousand times, but it still became the hot topic to tease him about throughout the weekend. (And yes, if you are wondering I would have stopped him before he went in for the good-bye kiss)
Here are a few pictures of our fun weekend from the wedding to the reception.

  1. That's awesome! I laughed out loud at Cindy's comment. I kind of wish I had been there to see that all go down. Thanks for the great replay!
