We spent this weekend back in Fort Worth for Lesley's sister's wedding. We couldn't really spend much more than a weekend there, so we left here late Thursday. Lesley's parents took us out for lunch as an anniversary present on Friday and we had some very good Uncle Julio's fajitas and sopapillas. Lesley was the matron of honor so she had some stuff to do for that and I was an usher, so I helped set up tables and chairs for the reception and rehearsal dinner. After the rehearsal and dinner we hung out with Lesley's sister and fiance that night.
On Saturday, Lesley went with her mom and sister to have breakfast and get their hair and makeup done. I met with my parents and brother for breakfast. Afterward, they showed me some of the recent development in Fort Worth. It's good to see Fort Worth being more of a city. Then, we went to my parents' house and saw my mom's scrapbook for their recent cruise. After that we walked at the mall and ate lunch at Jason's Deli before they dropped me off at the church for the wedding.
I ushered for the wedding and then we had the reception. I've been going to Lesley's family events long enough to get to know some of Lesley's family and friends and I enjoyed talking to them at the reception. After the reception, I helped put some tables and chairs away and our friend picked us up. We ate at Cousin's Barbeque, the best BBQ in DFW, and hung out that night.
The next day, Lesley and I went to the church we were married at. We walked through the church's recent expansion and talked to a few of the people we knew there. The pastor was surprised that we came and was glad to see us. We had lunch with my parents and then went to visit my grandmother. My cousin, who I hadn't seen in years, also stopped by with his kids. After that, Lesley's parents took us to the airport and we had a bumpy flight home.
It was a short, busy trip, but I really enjoyed getting to spend time with so many people. While plane tickets and weddings aren't cheap, we appreciate everyone who took care of us, including both of our parents who drove us around and paid for our meals and Lesley's sister and new husband and our friend who let us stay with them overnight. We enjoyed our time there, but are glad to be sleeping in our own bed again.
We moved to Seattle in February 2008 and shared blog posts and photos during our first few years in Seattle.

It was good to see you too. I am really glad you were able to come into town.

It was nice spending all that time with my sister and being there for her wedding. I'm glad I got to see my Aunt Lorna too, since she lives in Kansas and I never see her. And I got to see my cat, Sassy, since she recently had that surgery.
The turbulence on the flight coming back to Seattle was terrible though. It was the worst I've ever been through and it kind of freaked me out.
I'm glad to be back in Seattle for a while. Texas was miserably hot.
