What a glorious day Saturday was!! Not only did I attend my first ever wedding, but I got to meet a lot of mommy and daddy's college friends! Sarah Charley was getting married! Give me a moment to explain who she is... In college, my parents were both members of a group on campus called the Christian Campus House. But everyone called it CCH or just Campus House. The group met in an old cute house across the street from the football field. Dad even rented an apartment for several years in the upstairs with Austin, Olivia's daddy! Well, Roger Charley was the Campus Minister, and he had two daughters, Sarah and Rachel. Aren't they pretty? They were just in high school when my parents were in college, but they hung out with all the Campus house people and were friends with them!
So here at the wedding, lots of Campus House alumni were there. But I was just excited to attend my first ever wedding! It was similar to church in that I heard praying, a pastor speaking (Olivia's dad again!), songs and I got to wear a pretty dress. I know I shouldn't wear white to a wedding, but it had flowers on it and a pink sash... Isn't that okay? Plus I got to wear a cute little headband, even if Dad was concerned with the mark it left on my skin...
After the wedding, everyone walked over to the gym of the church for some good ol' fashioned fellowship and of course...CAKE! I tried to steal a bite of icing from Amy (Olivia's mommy) but she wouldn't give me any. I even tried to get Devon to give me a sip of her punch, but she wouldn't either...

Then Gabe came over and said he needed to hold a baby. I looked around for the baby, then realized he meant me. Amy picked up Olivia and next thing you know, a crowd had gathered to check out the Campus House alumni babies...

I enjoyed hanging out with Olivia again! But then we got to meet another Campus House alumni baby... Emma Derr! Emma and Olivia liked my ballet slippers... 
After a lot of talking, the old people decided they all wanted real food, so the whole group drove down the street to Applebee's. Well, first we went to Cracker Barrell, but we pulled in the parking lot at the same time as a tour bus, so then we drove across the street to Applebee's. Olivia and I didn't care though... We just wanted to talk and hang out more! And we got to! Daddy set me on the table so I could look at Olivia...and I watched every move she was making. I tried to emulate her, but the dang motor skills aren't as developed as hers...

YEAH, Daphne! I had a great time playing with you. Your red hair is so pretty and you're a little, skinny thing, just like me!
Love, Olivia
