we woke up late, got lost several times trying to find a place to eat, ate breakfast when everyone else was eating lunch, and started on our 2 hour drive to make it in time for the wedding rehearsal and dinner.
i read to ben, one of our favorite things to do together {or was on our pre-kid road trips}, and couldn't stop staring out of the windows at all of the green. i know i've vented quite a bit about life in arizona, and i've searched--and found--beauty here, but my soul needs green. i felt myself coming more alive just being close to it.
we were excited to see carmella again, she was our right-hand lady at the group home, who was there with us from beginning to end. we honestly couldn't have made it through that year without her, she brought a hilarious sense of humor mixed with a no-nonsense attitude and by the end of our time together, we considered her family. i was so honored when she asked me to be a bridesmaid.
after the wedding rehearsal, ben and i split up--me going with the other bridesmaids and carmella to get our nails did--ben joining the groom and groomsmen for a movie. then we drove back to our hotel and went to sleep. pretty non-eventful, but a fun, relaxing day nonetheless.
