A weekend in Southern IL

D and I left Friday morning and headed to Southern IL (Marion) to watch my college sorority sister get married.

We dropped little man off at Mema and Papas and made the 6 hour drive south. Let me tell you I made this drive many many times in college and it was just as boring as ever. Central IL is SO boring, it's all fields and farms!

Giant cross in Effingham IL

Friday night was the rehersal and then Saturday we got to the fun stuff...wedding day!




 Runaway bridesmaids. We had an hour to kill after pictures before the ceremony so naturally we all went to the local bar!


 My friend Sarah

We had a great weekend away. I saw old friends I hadn't seen in years. We drank too much and realized in the morning we aren't 21 anymore, LOL. All in all a great weekend, lots of driving, and some adult fun time! I could not wait to get home on Sunday to see my B, missed him like crazy!

You took a pic of the giant cross in my hometown! You totally should have stopped and had a meal at Niemerg's. Even though I live here, I don't claim the giant cross. Private money, private land.

Oh I'm so glad you got away & had a little fun! I know how you fell though. Everytime I go away I'm ready to be back home too!

Beautiful Bride :)
