Nebraska!

The last weekend of May I got to go to Omaha, Nebraska for my best friend Chelsea's wedding. We were roommates about 10 years ago and even though she's lived in Nebraska since then we've always stayed really close. She asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding and I was thrilled to be able to help. I was there 4 days and it was a pretty crazy busy, but I wouldn't have missed it for anything. Here are the pics I took. We took her to get mani/pedis. (Analisa, Chelsea, Megan, & Heather)
Here's Chels with her toes & nails done and afraid to touch anything.After the dinner Fri night we had a mini bachelorette party with Chelsea & all her sisters. We were a little silly & had a lot of fun.Chelsea put on her dress to show us all.

The next morning we were up early and getting Chels all fancied up & then they headed off to the temple. Here they are ready to go. They were both so happy.
They were married in the Winter Quarters TempleHere come the newly married couple.I love this pic. They were glowing.We were very busy as bridesmaids, but we sure had fun doing it. These are the other 2 bridesmaids that weren't Chelsea's sisters. We came from all over, but we hit it off right away and had a TON of fun. (Analisa, Pauli, & Me)Chelsea has a great family. I've been so lucky to get to know them over the years. They are a barrel of laughs all the time.Chelsea & her dad have a very special relationship. Love these pics of them.I sure love them. They are perfect for each other & I'm so happy for them. I'm so glad I was able to be there for this special occasion.The reception was beautiful, but I forgot to take pics until they left. Here they are headed out to start their new life together.The day after the wedding I had a few hours before I few out so I decided to head over and spend some time at the church historic sites. The Winter Quarter Temple grounds & Pioneer Cemetery that backs up to it are a beautiful place. It's one of my favorite places in the whole world. Here are the pics.
