2014's best memory - An Organized Elopement!

One of the greatest things about being a parent that no one tells you
is this addition/multiplication math thing' that goes on. 

It kinda looks like this at first - 

      "One feral resistant womb    =     Two kids with wild potential"

So great, right?
All that avoidance of alcohol, no hair perm/color (80's, need you ask?)
 Soy sauce (sodium!), MSG & smoked sausage (nitrates!)
while pregnant
along with reading every real scary baby book you could find
really paid off ...you hope...
("I gave up bacon for you, child. BACON.")

But then it gets better...

Because If your offspring survives a feral childhood somewhat unscathed

then
 theres the possibility that they might gets MARRIED!

so it could look like this -

"One feral resistant womb  =   Two  kids with wild potential   +   surviving a feral childhood 

 =  

       Two Smart Beautiful Adults     x    Two Montana Manly Men Adults 

=  

FOUR NORMAL ADULTS!"

FOUR NORMAL ADULTS now RELATED TO ME!!!!

Dont you love math?

*grin*

Honest to Ritz crackers, when the oldest daughter called us to tell us of their wedding plans in the beginning of 2014, well, we just got excited. Not just because they didnt want a big fancy wedding in our hayfield like her sister & hubs that would certainly doom us to another disaster two weeks after, because well, us...But because she was marrying David, a handsome athletic math genius we adore (who has a Masters Degree in Mathematics?  A GENIUS does, thats who!) who will certainly all make us look like geniuses because well, we be related somehow...right?  (see math equation above) 

But then it gets even better -

"We are going to have a courthouse wedding with a Dinner and Evening out afterwards...
 Momma, you wont have to do a thing but have fun"

GET OUT OF TOWN!!!!!

No, really, it was out of town.  In Billings, Montana to be exact.

 And there was no really solid date, it was all dependent on their work schedule.
We were all on call - we wouldnt know until a little before...




SO IT WAS EXCITINGLY WILD!!!

We prepared a standby outfit for ourselves ....

&
 bought the Bride one too because, well, Bride.

we were soooo excited!!!!

THEN THE BIG CALL CAME!!!!!!

WE WERE ALL SO EXCITED!!!

ALL THIRTEEN of US!!!

CRAMMED INTO THAT LITTLE OFFICE !

ELOPEMENTS ARE FUN WHEN SHARED!!!!!!!!

It wasnt planned originally that way, 

but when you are Abby & David, who wouldnt want to be there? 

After all, it really is all about numbers!

"One beautiful bride +  One handsome Groom + Thirteen+ guests = A DANG GREAT PARTY!!!!"
