Day One
The day we left for Utah we were on the road by 4:30 am and began our drive to Utah. We stopped at Reilly's so that she and Karson could caravan with us. Hunter had to work and flew to Utah closer to the wedding. While on the road I got a delightful phone call from my gynecologist...yes I was still having UTI pain...who told me that my last culture was normal and that I would need to see a urologist because my situation is not their specialty. Wow. Thanks so much. I asked them what I should do since I was still having pain and OUT OF TOWN and not currently able to see a urologist. I was told that I could take AZO and Tylenol or Ibuprofen for a week to 10 days to manage symptoms while out of town. Did I cry? Yes, I did. Who wants to be at their daughter's wedding with what feels like a terrible urinary tract infection? So that was awesome. Most likely this is a complication of my hysterectomy. Swell. I can't get in to even see a freaking gynecological urologist until NOVEMBER! But back to our trip...
We got to our Airbnb that evening. We ended up being rerouted through Ogden Canyon and down through Provo Canyon due to a wreck which added on quite a bit more time to our trip but I am always happy to be in my old neighborhood! When we finally got to the big house that we were renting we were so happy and really pleased with our accommodations. Kameron and Erin joined us too. We got pizza and stayed up late talking. We had a family planning meeting for what still needed to be done for the wedding and divided up the duties. It was good to all be under one roof once again. It fit all of us super comfortably...two dogs included...and the yard opened up onto a park in the back which was perfect for nights of playing ball out there. The backyard also had gorgeous views of Timpanogos and Cascade mountains and a swing on the patio. That is where I spent all of my down time...in that swing looking at those mountains. Especially Cascade... that is my mountain.
Day Two
There is literally nothing better than waking up in a home with all of your kids there and a grandbaby eager to come into your bedroom and get in bed with Lovey and Pops. He was quickly joined by Reilly, Ailey, and Bryn...all on our bed that morning. LOL. That is true happiness. Tyler and Ailey did a donut run for the family as they love to do. They also picked up all the pictures that were going to be displayed at the reception and they turned out SUPER CUTE! The poster sized ones were great and all of the smaller ones and all of the other things that we needed printed like the drinks, menu, schedule etc all turned out great too! Thank goodness! We were down to the wire. Then everyone headed out to accomplish the rest of our wedding errands.
Tyler and I had the bride-to-be with us for most of the day as we did runs to Hobby Lobby, Michaels, and Winco. We got all the candy for the candy bar and a few more decorations for the reception. I put the vinyl on the mirror that will be at the entrance of the reception. It turned out darling!
Ailey, Luke, Tyler, and I drove to Spanish Fork to Maplewood Events where the reception will be held to check out the venue. I was so glad that we were able to get in and get a look and talk to the person who will be helping with the reception. It was the first time that Tyler and I were seeing it and we were VERY relieved that it was as it had been advertised and that we had more than enough décor and that there will be staff there to help with anything we need. Whew!
That night Kirk, Meki, and family came over to the Airbnb. We played ball in the park and had Wing Stop delivered. It was really fun catching up with them and they kept us from getting too stressy about the next day. Kirk is good at keeping things humorous! Hunter arrived that night too. We all went around the table giving Ailey and Luke advice. Some funny and some touching. Laughter and tears. The kids gave Ailey and Luke their wedding night basket. Got to love siblings! LOL!
