Well, we finally went on our trip to Fargo North Dakota to see my friend Chasitie Bekkerus get married. The wedding was in a really beautiful lutheran church with stained glass windows and pipe organs...the whole 9. Chasities daughters Hannah & Gracie were the flower girls for the wedding and both of them fell asleep up at the wedding altar during the service. It was pretty cute! Everyone will be glad to know also that I did not trip down the aisle, not even on the practice runs which is quite an accomplishment for me. The actual trip to Fargo itself was mostly to get prepared for the wedding and so we didn't do much sight seeing while we were there. I did get to see the ramada Inn that was in the movie Fargo, that was about it until we went to Minnesota. After the wedding we went to a small town called Roger (I think) in Minnesota were a tornado touched down in a newer housing development, it was pretty sad to see all of the houses ripped to shreds and it made me really sad not only for those people but for the people who lost so much in Hurricane Katrina, I just can't imagine that what I saw in Roger is probably a million times worse in New Orleans. Very sad.

We also went to the Mall of America the night before we left to come home...I don't know what I thought I was going to see there, but for some reason I thought it was going to be....I don't know, maybe more fun or something. It could have just been the crowds of people and the 45 minute lines for the restaurants that got me down, but I don't think I would go there again. I guess I had wanted to see it for so long that I was disappointed when I saw it was just a mall with some rides in the middle. Overall, the company was the best part of the trip. It was wonderful to see Chasitie again, and great to finally meet her girls and husband Matt. I also enjoyed finally meeting her grandparents who are just as amazing as Chasitie told me they were. I think that it will be a few years before we take another plane ride with McKenna as she screamed for about an hour on the way to Fargo, so we will have alot of time to plan our next vacation. To all my dear friends who are reading this, do not get married unless it is in Washington state for the next year or so :)
Love you all,
