This weekend was interesting to say the least. I spent about 18 hours in the car between Friday afternoon and Sunday evening. Of those 18 hours in the car, 6 of them were spent driving through traffic at less than 25 miles an hour. Now you may be wondering if I drove somewhere glamorous like California or Canada or somewhere that warrants an 18 hour drive, but no. I drove to Portland, and from Portland to Roseburg, then back to Seattle. I realize that it's the end of the summer and there is a lot of car traveling happening and a lot of accidents... but that was ridiculous. Needless to say, I am feeling quite restless sitting here at my desk today.

Other than the terrible car traveling that occurred this weekend, here is what happened.

• I met Uli, my family's German exchange student. He is hilarious and this may sound weird, but he honestly looks like he could be a part of our family. I'll put a picture up here later.
  
• I went to my cousin's wedding in Roseburg. It was an experience. Highlights include the following...
• All of the groomsmen walking around shirtless with beer in one hand and a cigarette in the other. (Not kidding, they were in this state until about 30 minutes after the wedding was supposed to start. They eventually pulled it together.)
  
• The wedding starting 45 minutes late.
  
• The bride almost forgetting her flowers and running back down the isle to grab them.
• The mother of the groom double fisting champagne bottles throughout the duration of the reception. Then being too incoherent by the end of the wedding to help with anything.
  
• Dinner at 8:30pm (30 minutes after the bride and groom were supposed to have left, and 30 minutes before the property was supposed to close).
  
• The groom throwing the ENTIRE TOP OF THE CAKE at the bride during the cake cutting. Cue mother of the bride bawling at the ruined cake (that she herself had expertly made.)
  
• The list could go on...
  
• Thanks to the unbelievable amount of time spent in the car, I read the first two books in the Twilight series. I am now officially obsessed. If you like Harry Potter and you're female, you'll like these books. If you like Harry Potter and you're male, I think you'll like these books, but I'm not making any promises.
  

I hope this week is quiet. Jon and I have been way too busy lately and I can tell it's completely wearing him down. I think all the driving this weekend was a breaking point of sort. We just need to relax and recover and spend as much time at home this week as we possibly can. However, I am going to see Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 with Meghann tonight. Don't judge :)

Have a good week!
