With Love From Philly

Coming back to PA after 4 years I've really begun to realize how little memory I have...of anything. I think it comes from having to remember so many names in the family. :P Point being, I really need to write about this trip and the wonderful time Zach and I are having. We have been to Philadelphia, Washington D.C., and now Barnegat LBI, New Jersey. It's been a fun filled, horrendously tiring, absolutely wonderful experience. Not only have we seen incredible sites but, we have had a chance to really go on adventures, and learn more about each other. So here goes.... A journal of Zach and I's vacation back east.

I got to Philly on June 1st, around 11:45 at night, I wasn't flying with Zach because I came out 10 days early to take photos for my Aunt Joylyn and soon-to-be Uncle Paul. After sleeping 4 and a half hours I got back up and headed for the DC Temple with my Uncle Jeffry, and Aunt Dawnita. When Joylyn and Paul got out of the temple they both simple: glowed. He looked at her lovingly, she smiled more brightly then I've ever seen, and together they were a beautiful couple. I took them around the temple for pictures then we all had lunch. The following day I edited, printed, and framed some really beautiful pictures for them. (Proud niece that I am!) The following Saturday evening they had a wonderful reception. It was in the back of the Kline's house (My Aunt Jessica, and Uncle Eds) Uncle Jeffry put together an enormous cup-cake-cake, and Justin & Inc did the catering. There was cookies, sandwiches, cupcakes, and a random assortment of finger foods. Altogether everything went splendid, one of the ward sisters who was attending did trip on accident but it ended ok, seeing as my new Uncle Paul is a Doctor (currently interning, but soon to be official doctor.) I took pictures, and socialized. . . Most people when I introduced myself knew my mother and proceeded to tell me how cute I looked as a baby. Lol. :D After family gift opening, and tearful goodbyes the busy week was over. And I finally got some good sleep.

The next exciting thing to look forward was to ZACH ARRIVING. (Believe me, it was exciting!)

More to come.
