From DC to ATL to Indy?

This has been a crazy weekend. I started by getting off of work on Friday and driving to Washington DC to see Paul. It was great seeing him again and so happy...I'm glad things are panning out for him, he works so hard for what he has, he deserves it. He showed me around town and I got to meet a few of his new friends which was really cool, Paul's always been able to find friends where he's at...I stayed up until 2am and got up at 3:30am to drive out to the airport. I got out onto highway 95 to get back to the airport and was going in the right direction until I saw a sign that said "Freeway ends 1/4 mile." and I assumed that meant it turned into a local road for a few miles and then went to the freeway again. Nope. I drove and in the blackness, there was just dirt. The road literally ended...so I turned around and found another place where 95 crossed. I got to the airport in time and flew out just as scheduled.

I arrive in Atlanta and didn't realize how BIG the place was...there are freaking subway trains going between gates! Anyway, I got from there to Indy with a very short layover time...I arrived in Indy to meet Bethany's (the bride's) father where he drove me to Bedford where the wedding was to take place.

I got there and set up shop in the hotel room and took a short nap before heading to the family reunion. There, I began taping and interviewing some of Aaron's (the groom's) family. I taped all night doing interviews with the bride and the groom and close friends and family. As usual, people involved closely with the wedding were freaking out so I was trying to remain calm.

The next day was the wedding and it was really cool. The funny thing about weddings in the 50 million I've attended now, is that I noticed a wedding going "right" wasn't the result of things go as planned or not going as planned, or hair being right or the parents being happy or if the cake gets there on time of if it rains or not. What makes a wedding great in the end is that the couple involved is really happy and are excited. When the bride's walking down the aisle crying and you can tell it's because it's suddenly hit her that this is actually happening, you know it's a good wedding.

After the wedding, I headed to Kokomo to visit my parents and friends. Elizabeth and Jeb came with me and my brother to Steak-N-Shake and it was awesome. I miss everyone.

So I just got back into the East Coast and it's time for bed, I'll share more later...
