What's Happening?

We have been busy, busy, busy lately! In the last few weeks we have both traveled back to the US for two weddings and a shower! I flew home on September 26th, and on the 27th I drove down state for a law school friend's baby shower, which was so much fun. We rarely make it home for showers and parties, so I was so happy to be able to attend!


On October 3rd Jeff flew home and drove up to Milwaukee for a wedding on the 4th. One of my sorority sisters was getting married, and I was honored to stand up as one of the bridesmaids. The wedding was an absolute blast, and it was amazing to see all of my college friends again. I haven't seen most of them since our wedding two years ago! On that note, our wedding anniversary was on September 30th . . . I can't believe it's been two years already!


On the 5th we stopped by a brunch at the bride's parent's house, then headed to my parent's house to watch the Packer game with both of our parents. It had been two years since the six of us had all hung out together, so it was a good time to catch up! After the game I packed up and we headed to Chicago. Monday morning Jeff had to stop by work and run downtown to turn in his visa application for Thailand. Then in the evening we headed to O'Hare and flew out to Orlando for yet another wedding. This time Jeff was standing up as a groomsman. The wedding wasn't until Saturday, so we spent Tuesday-Thursday at Disney and Universal Studios. It was our pseudo little anniversary celebration! It had been 15 years since I was last at Disney, but the way I was acting you would think I had never been there before! Seriously, I was acting like a 5 year old pretty much the entire time! I'll have to create another post with pictures!

On Thursday night we went to the future bride and groom's apartment (which was incredible) for a little wedding party/family barbecue. Then on Friday Jeff bonded with the boys while I ran some errands. Saturday was the wedding, which was so much fun! The bride and groom looked amazing, and we had just an incredible time. Sunday morning we ate, stopped by the bride and groom's apartment for a while, and then flew back to Chicago late in the evening. We spent pretty much the entire night doing laundry and packing. Monday morning Jeff headed to the office again, and made it to O'Hare by 9:30 am for his flight back to Thailand! He was completely exhausted, and so was I!

So here's where we're at now. Jeff is back in Thailand, and I am at home in the US. We had hoped that his Thailand assignment would be completed by the end of October, so I never booked a return ticket with him. However, its looking more and more like this job could go well past Thanksgiving, so we're trying our best to get me back out there. We'll keep you updated!
