Our Trip

Okay, the trip out was horrendous! Not only did we get delayed at Bradley because of storms down south, but when we got to Charlotte, we were delayed yet again. Sitting in airports AND pregnant is not pleasant and heartburn wasn't exactly making it any easier! We didn't get into Vegas until 2:00AM Vegas time...5 hours late! Needless to say we missed our connection and was told our flight would leave at 930AM. Great. Splurge on a hotel room? Nope! Rent a locker, throw our carryon stuff inside (yes, including my dress) and hit the strip! We were totally up for it but by the time we got down there ate breakfast at a casino, and walked around a bit, we were beat. Not to mention my feet we swollen beyond belief becasue it was 100 degrees. We vowed that we would go back! Around 6AM we headed back to the airport and met up with a lady from our flight. It didn't feel like 6AM and we have been awake at this point for 27 hours so why not hit up the bar at the airport? I took advantage of the free refills of Sprite...aren't ya jealous? :) We got to Seattle, met up with his bro and crashed at his house, 36 hours of adrenaline later!

Seattle was gorgeous though and yes, we had sun virtually ALL week! I know...bizzarre for Seattle right? I even managed to get some golf in at the range! We surpirsed his parents and picked up Chloe and spent the week visiting his brother and his girlfriend, his parents, his grandmother, Cory (his childhood friend, and taking in downtown Seattle, Pike Place, Seattle Center (amuesment park), and some beautiful state parks! The week was topped off with the wedding...

Yep...we did it! We got married in Seattle on Saturday (the 4th)! We decided to keep it a low-key affair by having the ceremony in Washington. Baby Girl Johnson will be born out here so we kept the two big events in our lives split evenly between the coasts! :) Chris was quite the stud in his tux and he was joined by his brother and childhood friend. Chloe was a little princess in her dress and was all smiles! Me and Baby Girl Johnson fit nicely into my dress which was quite the surprise since I actually gained weight...redistribution? Anyway...the weather was perfect, the location beautiful! We had the ceremony at sunset at a park overlooking the Puget Sound, a marina, and the Olympic mountain range.

All in all, the trip was great but it's nice to be back also. I missed my "special needs" puppy! :) Now it's time to start preping the house for girl #2!
