May/June 2009

As you can probably tell from my lack of posts it has been a crazy couple of months! Hard to believe that Matthew and I are finally in Great Falls, Montana and all of our crazy travels are behind us for at least a few weeks. We are again living on base and we have a nice three bedroom, two bathroom house on Locust Street. Our friends Brian and Dana that came at the same time from Vandenberg are just down the street and around the corner from us and we are thrilled that they are living so close. Our biggest project now is once again building our own fence in the backyard. I am so thankful Matthew thought to bring the one we had from California. I hope we can get that done soon because the dogs are getting restless. I will put some pictures up of the house as soon as I take them :). Quickly I want to recap the weddings I was at before I post about Alaska.

Danae & Scott’s wedding was beautiful! I felt so lucky to be part of their special day and as far as I could tell everything went just about perfect. I broke my new bridesmaid sandal before the wedding even started in true Kathryn fashion but we managed to fix it in time for pictures with super glue the wedding coordinator had in her emergency kit. I had a wonderful time reconnecting with old friends at the reception and dancing the night away with Laura on the dance floor.

My lifelong friend Lydia also got married to her love Ben while I was in CO. I was lucky enough to spend time with Lydia before the wedding helping with last minute details and attending her bachelorette party. We had way too much fun. The day of their wedding six tornados made an appearance in CO and one (unknown to us at the time) was right down the street from the wedding. Needless to say it was a little cold and wet leading up to the ceremony, but the rain held off just long enough for them to get married and run inside for the reception.

Congratulations to both my dear friends and their new husbands.
