A Wedding

A few weekends ago, Steven and I made a quick trip up to Birmingham {sans kids} to celebrate a friend's wedding. Steven has known Cameron since childhood in good old Greenville, Alabama. They were roommates for a time at Troy, which is where I met Cameron. He and Steven lived sort of behind my apartment my sophomore year of college. Cameron was on the summer team with us when we went to Kazakhstan in 2001. Then, Steven worked with Cameron and his dad's company in Birmingham for a couple of years after we came back from Kazakhstan. Fun times! Anyway, the point is we love Cameron and were so excited he found a bride to share the rest of his life and that we were able to be a part of their wedding celebration. How's this for a groom's cake?

Our other great college friends, Matt and Carrie, were there too. Although poor Carrie missed almost the entire wedding because as she and Matt were getting out of their car when they got to the church, her insulin pump was pulled out?! She had to drive back home and get situated and got back just before Cameron and Ashton marched out as husband and wife! Thankfully, there was the reception where there was good food, good drinks, and a ferocious DJ. And there might have been some dancing by a grandma with some serious moves. I'm only sad I didn't get a picture of me and Carrie?!

The other funny part to the weekend was that Steven thought some of our college acquaintances were famous. We kind of knew this guy and girl from Campus Outreach dealings although I think they are a few years younger than us and they went to a different college. So, we knew them and remembered their names but we were struggling with their last name. They sat by me during the ceremony {Steven was a groomsmen}. Steven and I were trying to remember their last name as we drove to the reception.

me: I think his name is Jason Aldean.

steven: No... Like the singer? 

me: Well, yes, but i don't think that's him; they could just have the same last name.

steven: He was a little bit country and liked music. It's him, isn't it? {mind you, Steven's never seen 

            Jason Aldean, only knows the name.} Cameron has Jason Aldean at his wedding!

me: It's not the same guy. He's not the singer.

We laughed about it and finally asked our friends. "Allday" Their last name is Allday. We thought that was funny. Then, the other hilarious part was when we got home at midnight and didn't have a key to get in our house. I left my car keys {along with the children} with my Dad and Sandi and Steven had no house key?! I called my dad about 12:15 AM and told him I needed to come get my keys. We were back over at 8:00 AM the next morning for the kiddos!
