Fourth of July Wedding!

Travis and I traveled to Portland, Oregon this weekend to attend our friends' wedding on the fourth of July.  Calvin and Travis lived in a duplex together during pilot training in Del Rio and became pretty good friends.  I was there for the graduation when Danielle came to visit, so she and I got to know each other pretty well.  We had some fun adventures running errands for the guys while everyone was preparing for graduation!

So, Travis was an usher in the wedding this weekend.  He and four other of Calvin's friends from the Air Force were all in uniform and led people to their seats.  Several people wanted pictures with them, too!  Then, the guys all did a saber arch at the front door for the bride and groom to walk through at the end of the wedding.  It was a big hit!  We had a blast at the wedding, and we were really glad we could make it.  There were some major flight delays out of Del Rio, putting us in Portland 7 hours later than we expected, but everything turned out great!  We spent a total of 41 hours in Portland, so we are looking forward to having a chance to go back someday when we can actually tour around and see things!  The smalls bits of the city that we did see were absolutely beautiful!

Here are a couple of pictures:

The bride, groom, and all the ushers!

And then the fun, goofing around, boys playing with swords picture, of course!!

And, I was lucky enough to get a picture with one of the handsome ushers as well! :o)
