Ah, wedding weekends. Our friends Matt and Holly (who Quinn talks about constantly) got married on Sunday. Jonathan was a groomsman, so Friday night he went the bachelor party in Portland. Another groomsman stayed at our house that night and then all the Portlanders carpooled to Corvallis Saturday. The rehearsal was at the best man's house. They have a beautiful backyard and garden. We all went to dinner and then Quinn and I stayed at my college friend Sara's new house. Quinn thought Sara's kids were pretty cool. We met with my dear friend Mary and her son for breakfast Sunday morning, had tea at my friend Kendra's house (while Quinn had a quick nap) and then zipped over to the wedding.

It was a very sweet wedding. We're so happy for Matt and Holly!

After the wedding, we grabbed dinner with some friends and then stayed at the Albers' house. Quinn thinks their daughter is the best. First thing in the morning Quinn wanted to go find her to play.
Monday was my birthday so we went out for breakfast and wandered around Corvallis. It was so fun to see old faces and places. I loved getting to catch up with old friends. But I love returning to our house. There were blueberries and veggies waiting for us, and a giant dahlia welcoming us home. We went to our favorite restaurant for dinner and stuffed ourselves and ended the evening at the park, as usual. After late nights and short naps, Quinn was ready to crash, as were we. Lots of living this weekend. A great birthday. I couldn't ask for better. God's been spoiling me for 29 years running.
