This blog is, of course, primarily about Ben, but I have to depart from my regular MO to report on last weekend as I was honored to be the Matron of Honor at Tracey and Matt's wedding in Nashville. 
I've known Tracey since freshmen year in high school, and we were roommates throughout college and beyond - traveling the world, living it up, and entering adulthood together. So helping her kick off her new life with Matt was very exciting;

as was having most of our close friends from "back in the day" there to celebrate!
Since then, we've added a few new members to the crew. This is Lisa and Amyas (What a fighter! It was so wonderful to meet him.), Jenny and Ethan, and me and Ben.It was a squirmy bunch, so this is the best shot I got!
As anyone who's been in this position can attest to, being the spouse of a member of the wedding party is not the best weekend-job description one can have. But I have to say that Tyler, who did airport pickups, multiple-camera photography sessions, and chauffeuring duties for a gaggle of girls all weekend, was a trooper! And I do believe he managed to have some fun along the way too! Here we are at the rehearsal dinner - what a view!
So what was Ben doing as we gallivanted about town, you may ask? He was living it up at Grandma and Grandpa's house; eating rice cereal and prunes, trying on new outfits, and basically being spoiled rotten.
A whole weekend of Ben duty = one happy Grandma!
So it was a great weekend that flew by way too fast. Beautiful wedding, fun reunion, little sleep and good times. Love to you all, miss those who couldn't be there and congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Andersen! Welcome to the club!

Grandma was in her glory and it was hard to let Ben go when the time came. Grandpa seemed to be enjoying himself too! I heard him tell the great-grandparents in South Dakota that Ben "is the cutest BOY baby I've ever seen!" I guess he had to qualify that since his own children were the cutest GIRL babies either one of us had ever seen!
Amyas and I had so much fun on this exciting weekend. Reuniting with great friends, sharing a beautiful wedding, and meeting the new additions (Ben, sorry you didn't get much play time with Amyas...Maybe next time). As you said it was all too short. Time with all of our friends is so precious, I greatly look forward to the next gathering (30th Birthday Ladies Cruise perhaps?)
