THE Wedding of the Year!!!

My Aunt Lori got married on Saturday, May 24th at my Uncle Raymond's house in Chandler, Arizona. We were all so excited for Lori's big day!! She married Steven, whom she has actually known since she was a kid. They both went their separate ways but last Christmas, my Grandma and Steven's mom thought that it was be great to bring the two back together again. Well...the sparks flew and they are now happily married! They will be getting sealed in the Temple sometime next year!!!

Joe and I flew out Friday night and stayed with my Aunt Barb and cousin Eric in Mesa. Joe and I rented a car and were lucky enough to be cruising around in a "caravan"!! We were laughing when they told us that is was we would be driving around in! It took Joe a little getting used to and we spent most of the drive with the back wind shield wiper going until we finally figured out how to turn it off!!



Saturday we started early. Our cousin Jonathan came over with his two girls, Lilly and Elizabeth and took Joe, Eric and I to breakfast at the waffle house. Then we went to their home in Gilbert and played the wii for a couple hours. It was a blast! We played a little bowling and dancing with the stars. Then we went and got some lunch at Serrano's. I was pretty tired, so we headed back to Barb's to catch a quick nap before the wedding.

We then headed out to Chandler for the wedding at 5:30. It was really nice. My aunt and uncle's home is set up perfectly for a wedding. Lori looked beautiful!! The food was yummy and so was the cake!! It was soo much fun getting to hang out with all the "Heyman" cousins. We rarely get to see each other, so we always get excited for the time get to spend with each other.

Half way through the reception, we noticed that Joe, Chris, Curtis, Taylor and Tim were all missing. We found them playing "Rock Band"!! It was pretty funny seeing them all rocking out in their dress shirts and ties!! After the reception, we hung out and played some more Rock Band. It was a blast!! There were some first timers: Jen, Ray, Diane and they did pretty well. Jen is quite the drummer!!

Sunday we had a nice lunch that Barb made and then we headed back to the airport. It was a quick trip. The weather was PERFECT!!! It rained Friday and Saturday morning and then stayed nice and cool the rest of Saturday and Sunday. We were dreading being in the scorching heat, but it never happened!! We had a blast hanging out with Eric!!!! He kept telling Joe that he was his "first best-friend" and that he can't wait for Joe to marry me so that he could be his real cousin!!!! He told me that I was his "second best-friend"!!



Congratulations Lori and Steven!!!! Lori is going to be a great wife and mom (Steven has 5 kids, so she is an instant mom!! We all thought it was really cute when they drove off in a mini van!!)



My cousin Taylor played the piano during the wedding and reception. He is AMAZING!! Here is a video of one of the songs he was playing. He is quite the "ladies man"!!!
