Labor Day Weekend

Well I didn't take a camera so I have no pictures but last weekend Ben and I went to Kansas City for the weekend as part of his birthday present. The Tigers were in town playing the Royals so we went up to go to Saturday and Sunday's games. It was a really good time... we stayed at the Drury Inn right next to the stadium. On Saturday we watched college football, walked around the Plaza, and then tailgated with Roo and Shelley (and these other people who had washers there) :). Our seats for Saturday were right behind the Royals dugout, about 5 rows up. That is one nice thing about going to the K, the Royals are so bad that tickets are MUCH cheaper than those in STL. On Sunday we basically just slept in and then went to the afternoon game. For this game, we were a little further back but we were right behind home plate. I think we were about 15 rows back or so in the padded seats, with wait-staff service. I have never had that nice of seats before, it was great! The Tigers won on Saturday but lost on Sunday. I was really glad Ben got to watch the Tigers since it had been so long; hopefully we can do it again next year.

The Boyd's Wedding

I can't believe how fast summer is coming to a close. I haven't posted since our anniversary but August was a great month. It was topped off perfect with Byrdo and Jayme's wedding!

Last weekend two of our wonderful friends got married at the lake. It was the perfect location for the perfect wedding! On Friday we relaxed in the water and then had a rehearsal and dinner at Jayme's dad's house. Saturday morning started off early. We met at Jayme's mom and sisters cabin to get ready. Jayme has a huge family so one of her aunts did our hair (and did a great job)! The wedding was at 10:30 right next to the lake. We spent the rest of the day playing on the water. I finally got to tube with Jayme, it had been a long time. That evening was the reception.

I really don't think the day could have been more perfect, all of the Fair Grove crew was there. Brent pointed out that it had been since Clay's wedding (4 years ago) that the entire crew had been together...it has grown a lot since then. There were spouses, and babies, HOW FUN!

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Boyd!
