tney's wedding (on 9/8) alongside Heidi's baby shower (9/9). We had a lot of fun, but it was such a short trip.Originally, we were going to leave Thursday evening after work (6:30pm), drive to Portland and stay with Sam & Emily (my little brother). Then we would pick Zac (cousin living in Uruguay) up at the Seatac Airport (WA) around 10am Friday, go to Heidi's (my cousin) house hang out with her until the wedding on Saturday evening.
Well, things changed drastically....
Zac's story is amazing in itself. I won't recount it here as he describes it in such great detail on his blog. Basically Zac got stuck in Argentina due to bad flight schedulers and wouldn't be in until Saturday. Bummer. Ben was coming up to scuba dive on Saturday with Zac. So we decided to skip going up on Thursday night (no point in going up that late) and leave early on Friday for the 8-hour haul to Seattle. Not looking forward to a long day of driving, we changed the plans [again] from getting up early, to leaving in the afternoon on Friday, going to Portland still to see Sam and then driving the rest on Saturday to the wedding.
Whew! It was nice to be able to cut the trip in half at least, but we did not get to visit with Heidi as we had wanted to. Bad weekend to try I guess. The wedding was a lot of fun. We danced and danced to great oldies. Afterward we decided to just drive back down to Sam's in Portland. This was fine, I drove most of the way.... buut they decided to close the freeway we were on down when we were like 10-min. from his house. Luckily we had Ben, our "virtual mapquest of portland" in the car, so had no trouble inventing another route to his house. Unfortunately it was already creeping to 2:00AM and the re-route took an extra 25 or so minutes. ugh! I think we were asleep around 2:30-3AM. I woke up just because around 7 or 8am. But all in all, I made it to my house around 3:30PM on Sunday, which was nice to have a break before starting the week of work-chaos.
Congratulations Abe & Courtney! Thanks for the killer party!

I love these two! Aren't they the cutest couple ever? Courtney is so much fun!
Nice to see you guys, I didn't even get any pitures of the wedding to put up on our blog yet!! Ben is amazing in Portland, and he hasn't lived there for years.
