We made that long drive last week to Alabama for Rachael's wedding(Drew's cousin). We absolutely love Rachael and we are so glad she found an amazing guy like Jeremy. We got to Birmingham just in time to catch the end of their rehearsal dinner on Friday night. It was a fun event and we got to hear a lot of funny stories about both of them. It was a beautiful outdoor ceremony and Rachael looked amazing in her dress. There was a dinner and DJ at the reception and everyone had a really great time. We're very excited for Rach and Jeremy and we can't wait to go back to Bama and hang out with them as a couple!
As usual, we tried to see as many family and friends as possible while we were there. Here's a pic of Drew and Jake with Aunt Jodie and Uncle J.E.. Aunt Jodie made us a big dinner as soon as we got into Tuscaloosa on our way to the rehearsal dinner. We had a great time seeing friends in Tuscaloosa, Birmingham and Montgomery between Friday and Sunday.
Andrew's parents are renting a condo on Orange Beach in southern Alabama for the month of October. So on Sunday night we drove down (in their new, shiny red convertible!) and stayed with them and his sister Sarah, on the beach for a few days. It was a beautiful 3 bedroom, 4 bath condo with a big patio, right on the beach. Jake called it the "King-condo." There was an indoor pool, which turned out to be Jake's favorite thing to do. We spent a lot of time in the water, and Jake started swimming like a fish! He also learned how to dive and do a cannon-ball. He had a great time and ended every day looking like a raisin. We also spent some time on the beach and Jake found lots of cool seashells and played in the ocean.
Drew's sister, Sarah lives in Japan so we don't get to see her that often. We enjoyed hanging out with her at the wedding and the beach. Her birthday is coming up so we got to have a little party for her at the condo. We got to have some 'girl time' together with her mom as well, and went shopping all day at the outlet mall near the beach.
It was a fun, eventful week. The only bad thing was the long drive back home that we made in the middle of the night. It goes by faster when Jake is sleeping. He woke up at 9:00am this morning, as we're pulling into our driveway, and says, "Daddy, how'd you get here so fast?"
Some pics from the wedding......

She did a skit with the bridesmaids and sang R-E-S-P-E-C-T to Jeremy. It was hilarious
