Michigan Wedding

Tim and I have a very dear friend, Bobby!  Tim and Bobby were roommates and teammates at college in California!  Bobby grew up in Michigan, went to school in California for a year with Tim and then went back to Michigan.  When Tim and I were planning our wedding, Bobby was one friend that Tim worked hard to get in touch with to invite to our wedding.  Instead of just coming to our wedding, Bobby decided to drive out and start living in Las Vegas.  I immediately loved Bobby after meeting him for the first time the week of our wedding!  He was so much fun and just always so happy and positive!  A few years ago Bobby decided to move back to Michigan to take care of his mom who had cancer.  His mom passed away a year after Bobby moved back home and I am so glad he was able to have that year with her!  Just another reason Bobby is so special to us!  He decided to go back to school and that is where he met Alexis!  We knew they were gonna get married because Bobby looked so happy with her.  They had a sweet little boy, Tristen, last December and they were married this past weekend!  Tim had the honor of being in the wedding and we would not have missed it!  We had a wonderful time celebrating two very special people and met lots of new fun people too! 

 

We love you Bobby, Alexis and Tristen!  We wish you a lifetime of happiness!  Congratulations our friends!

Me, Tristen and Bobby!  I am so excited to be able to babysit this sweet little boy when Bobby and Alexis come out to Vegas next month for a wedding!  Doesn't the groom look so happy!!

We stayed in the Italian Room which was the original owner's room!  It was so pretty!

Crazy guys!

 

The day after the wedding, we checked out of our room at the castle and had plenty of time before we had to be back at the airport!  We took Tim's tux back, ate at Texas Roadhouse and then headed to Ann Arbor, Michigan to check out the University of Michigan and the Big House (football stadium)!  It was so pretty and the campus was so cool!  The Big House, well it was so big!  What a fun place for kids to go to school!  I told Tim that I want the boys to go somewhere like that, with a lot of history and the community support!  He is pushing for Texas A&M and that's fine with me!!

 

The streets around the campus with big trees!  Sooo pretty!

We had such a fun time but we were also so glad to be home and see our boys!  Thank you King and Ellen for keeping them!  This was our first trip without a child since Hudsen was born!  We missed them so much and couldn't wait to give them their prizes!!  Now we look forward to seeing Bobby and Alexis in October and introducing the boys to Tristen!!
