On Thursday Jordan, Brad, Lindsey and I flew to Salt Lake together for the wedding. Jordan and I rented a car and so once we arrived in Utah we took Lindsey to her hotel and then dropped Brad off at his parents house. On the drive to Brad's family I got a text from Caitlin saying that she was in the hospital. She had to have emergency surgery and would call when she could. Brad's family was so gracious and offered to let us stay with them instead of at Caitlin and Ryan's so that they wouldn't have to have one more thing to worry about with her in the hospital. We were so thankful and took them up on their offer.
Thursday night we went to see the Sorenson family and brought them pizza for dinner. We ate and caught up with each other before going back to Brad's home. We visited and watched the movie 'Invincible' with Brad and his sisters before going to bed.
Friday morning Jordan and I got up, had breakfast with Brad's family and then went to the hospital to see Caitlin. Her uterus had twisted and her doctor wanted her to have emergency surgery to remove a cyst that was causing her problems in her pregnancy and was the cause of the twisting. I was glad we could see her but wished it was under better circumstances. She looked good, the baby was fine and was hoping to be released from the hospital soon.
We then went to grab a quick lunch and changed for the wedding which ended up being in the restaurant bathrooms. Not our original plan, a little awkward, but it turned out OK.

The wedding was beautiful and we are so happy for our dear friends.
After the wedding we went to Caitlin and Ryan's to see Maya. She is getting so big! She was just waking up and was really snuggly, which according to Caitlin and Ryan is a rarity. I held her, read her a book and then played blocks with her for a little while. We couldn't stay long since we had to get to the wedding reception but loved having a chance to see her.

We had so much fun at the reception.
They had barbacoa salad, chips and salsa for dinner, (which was amazing) almond sugar cookies, smore and Reece's peanut butter cupcakes for dessert. We danced all night, visited with friends and ended the night with hot chocolate and sparklers!
Brad and Lindsey are married!!
