I love weddings. Specifically those that include my best friends tying the knot. This weekend was full of love and fun and drinks and dancing.

| Beautiful bride with her ladies. |
I had such fun chatting with friends I haven't seen in ages, and was reminded by another mama how important it is to let go. She and I chatted about motherhood {her little guy is 9 months} and life and balance for a while. She mentioned that she really needs to work on letting go a little and making time for her and her hubby. We talked about the struggles with mommy guilt and so much more. It is so nice when someone else gets it.
With that conversation so fresh in my mind, an hour or so later my grandma came to pick O up from the reception and take him to her house for the night. I tried my very best not to go into an insane amount of detail about his night-night routine or his eating habits. And then I let go. We waved goodbye, gave hugs and kisses, and went back into the reception to dance the night away.
And oh boy did we ever. We also learned that we are OLD and OUT OF SHAPE. Mike decided that he wanted to catch himself in a midair ninja jump/kick thing in the photo booth. Not only did he almost die doing it, now he has a hurt knee. {Trying not to laugh too hard} I didn't walk away with any injuries, but partway through the first song the wedding party danced to, I had a horrible side cramp! Jumping around for 3 minutes is apparently the most physical activity I've done in quite some time! Whoops. I suppose one of these days I'll kick myself into gear and get healthy again.
All in all it was a wonderful day {pretty sure it was the nicest day Duluth has had all spring} and I am so happy I got to spend it with my loves- my husband, our little guy, and my friends that I love so very, very much.
I wish you guys a lifetime of loving each other, Kelsey and Jake!
