Brook and Jason’s Wedding Adventure

BnJ

Click Here for Brooke and Jason the early years

Day I: Getting There. (Thur)

It’s now around 0500. We are pretty much packed. Planning on getting out of here about 0800. Then meeting Barbara and Everett at the Summit Lodge for breakfast. Then the journey begins. Only 454 mi – about 6 hours 57 mins to go.
BOI 5-14-2009 11-43-00 AM After a good breakfast we were once again on our way to BOI nice sunny drive all the way. Arrived at the Grove hotel around 7pm mst (one hr time change) Went out for pizza and laughs, See ya all in the morning.BOI 5-14-2009 8-59-32 PM

Day II: Hanging in Boise

Good Morning, Today Friday started out with a trip to Starbucks with Everett. After one BIG cup of coffee Billy and then Anita joined us for a great breakfast at Goldies. Afterwards Anita and I went over to Jason’s to drop off some gifts and meet Cesar the wonder dog (he makes CeaserHolman 5-15-2009 11-58-58 AM you wonder is this really a dog or what) Sure makes you see why Brooke and Jason fell in love with this dog. Around 5 people started showing up in the bar at the hotel for a little gathering. And then off to a restaurant for the rehearsal dinner put on by Jason’s parents.

Day III: The Big Day (the wedding)

It’s now 0430 and I am wondering if I am the only fool in this group of wedding travelers awake. Sure is a bummer trying to be quiet as not to wake Anita. Sort of reminds me of my old working days getting up in odd places at odd times and waiting for the day to begin for the rest of humanity. I do totally enjoy the quiet time and should appreciate it as a time to gather my thoughts. Actually it is a wonderful time to reflect back on the life of Brooke starting with our first meeting in the hospital. Now thinking of the Pride Joy and Love this little lady has brought us thru these years and the hopes for all of our futures. DSC_6316 I totally can not imagine what is racing thru Robin and Bill’s mind. Probably the only thing that keeps them grounded is the chaos of pulling off this event. The emotions must be way out there. Where did the time go? And being filled with excitement of passing the torch on to their little girl with wonderful thoughts of what the great ride of life has for their little girl. Let the adventure begin! “Where has the time gone?”

Day IV: We are outta here

Got up got rolling and had a great drive home. We did try to take a senic rout but were truned back at Sumpter Oregon as we were told the pass was closed. Made it home around 6pm
