What an amazing weekend...

After a long grueling 24 hours of delays, flights, and shuttle bus rides I finally made it back from my weekend trip to Bend, Oregon and first let me say congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Kirk Weatherby!!

I went back for my buddy Capt. Kirk's wedding to his girl Janna...and man what an excellent wedding and just overall party it was. It was so much fun to be a part of this wedding party, I was very honored and humbled that Kirk and Janna would even ask me to attend their big day...let alone play a part in it.

It was a beautiful ceremony with the mountains of Central Oregon in the background right behind the wedding party. The sky was so clear and beautiful that you could see Mt. Bachelor all the way up to Mt. Jefferson and if you had better eyes than me I hear you could even see the peak of Mt. Hood that's how clear it was.

From the rehearsal on Friday afternoon to the wedding on Saturday this wedding was truly a celebration and party. It was evident at every turn that these two were meant for each other and it was such an exciting and laid back atmosphere because of that.

I truly had a wonderful time and it was so nice to be back in Bend. I was able to re-connect with a lot of people I haven't seen since I left back in January for my job here in Virginia. I only wish I had more time to spend with everyone and to all those I didn't get to see I am sorry!! Hopefully we can catch up soon...and I really, really hope it won't take me so long to get back again! I love Bend with all my heart and to be honest my heart does hurt a little that I am not living there anymore. I will leave you with a few more shots from the weekend.

It was a great trip and an amazingly fun wedding I can't wait to go back...hopefully I can go again soon and stay a bit longer next time.
