We had to leave Idaho a bit early this year because Jarred's mom, Noni, found an awesome guy to marry. Not that she was looking, she spent most of her time when her kids were at home as a single parent and has been totally happy living on her own for a number of years. But when the right guy comes along, no one can pass him up. Noni and Gary had known each other for years and things just seemed to work out for them recently. The decided they wanted to marry and have a small ceremony and celebration at the beach, which is Noni's favorite place. She and Gary got all us kids condos so we could spend the four days prior to the wedding hanging out. I have to admit, I was a little hesitant to go to the beach during the summer as Northwest beaches don't tend to have the best weather, and while the weather was not summer-y, we had an awesome time while at the beach. The condos were right on the beach AND they allowed dogs. Between Jarred's sister's and Gary's two boys and their families, we kind of took over the compound.
The wedding ceremony was great- lasted about 10 minutes, dogs were invited and we didn't have to wear shoes. Noni and Gary also had their friend, Nikkie come and do "official" photos. We had a lot of fun with Nikkie and her camera.....
Thanks Gary and Noni for a great long weekend at the beach! You guys have wonderful families I'm excited to be a part of!
