9:00- Go back to parents' house. Stay up until 1:00 am with splitting headache, helping to decorate wedding cakes, etc. (By "Help" I mean "Watch my sister do it).
Saturday
1:00- Try to sleep, lay awake a long time. VERY exhausted.
4:00- Awake to find my older sister looming over me, holding my two-year-old who had gone a'wandering in the middle of the night. Henry steals my spot in the bed, and I sleep until 7:00am on a kid-sized-sleeping bag.
7:00- Wake up and realize I have a cold and almost no voice.
8:00- Go and steal wild flowers. We needed flower for the bouquets, cakes, etc. They were BEAUTIFUL, so we took 'em. (Okay, I'm not actually sure if we stole them or not... they were on the side of the road in no-man's land...)
8:15- Stopped at store to buy some legit flowers. Not as fun as stealing them...
8:30- Stopped at a yard sale, haggled for a lego-table. Ended up not buying it.
8:33- My sister Erin accidently ate a bug. HAHAHAHAHA.
9:00- Got ready for wedding. Remember I'm supposed to make boutinears, corsages, etc. Do that.
10:00- Babysitters arrive. I pray that my children will be okay for the next 8 hours while I'm gone.
11:00- Get to temple. Wait FOREVER.
11:30- Wedding. BEAUTIFUL! Amazing, powerful, etc. Go Kelsey! You're a married girl!
Noon- Begin to take a BAZILLION pictures. FUN!

Technically I did not eat a bug. A bug flew into my mouth while I was TRYING to get you to come back to car so we could go to Kelsey's WEDDING. There is a difference. So there.
Boo, good job on the daily log. Good memories! It was a totally wonderful and exhausting time together!
Love to all,
Dad
