Last Day 9.15.09

 On our last day of our trip we drove down the road to a town that I cannot remember the name of right now. Oops! It's a cute little tourist town with cute little shops. Randy and Laura had taken us through it the night before. We enjoyed taking pictures of the flowers and shopping. Afterwards we had lunch at Applebee's and then went to the airport. We are looking forward to the next trip with Pat and Sara. I keep on teasing Quent that our next trip should be Hawaii. (That would be an AWESOME surprise!! *hint* *hint*)

The Wedding-Nate & Annie style

Finally, right? Pictures of the wedding! The wedding took place on September 19, 2009, but Quent and I arrived in Girdwood, Alaska a few days before the wedding. We stayed at a house we rented with about a dozen other family members for a few days. It was a perfect place! I'm really glad we all stayed together! Pete, Doris, Natasha, and Mikaela picked us up from the airport. Uncle David and Aunt Shirley flew in on a flight within a half hour after we arrived. We drove to the house in Girdwood and when we walked up the stairs and saw Aunt Margaret, Aunt Harriet, Aunt Janet, and a few others, they started clapping when they saw us. It really melted my heart! We hadn't seen Margaret since our wedding, so it was so wonderful to see her. We really enjoyed seeing our family...every single person! And we can't wait to do it again later on this year when Chad and Mikaela get married. *smile*


Family gathered around Aunt Judi's laptop as she showed a slideshow of her Alaska pictures. Aunt Margaret is in the top left corner.


Aunt Janet hugging Annie. Precious!


Aunt Harriet. I just love this picture of her!


Uncle David. I don't think we had seen him since our wedding. It was great to see him!

We are so happy for Nate & Annie! They are so perfect together! We are so blessed to have another sister!

Dinner

In the house we were staying in we had dinner with Annie's family and their friends. It was a great time! It was the first time we met Annie! I liked her right away!


The bride and groom to be.


Eat up! Steak night!


I sat at the table with these precious ladies. Quent's dad's cousin Joan on the left, Aunt Judi in the middle, and Aunt Shirley on the right. Lots of laughter!

Morning hike

Quent and Natasha got up early and hiked up the mountain. I love when they spend time together like this! And they took some amazing photos!

Good thing we had one of these.


I love this picture of Quent's mom. She looks so joyful! And I know she is. She just love her kids!

Grooming the groom

This would be the first time Annie saw Nate with a clean-shaven face...well, almost.



Quent asked Nelson to take some pictures of the brothers together.
