I don't often get to travel for weddings. Having two littles at home makes it hard to travel as a guest, let alone for the work. Last time I traveled (for my cousin Molly's wedding), it only worked because my husband came too, and my parents put in a lot of quality grandparent time. This time, however, I was resolved to make wedding travel work: if I could fit it all into one day, my husband wouldn't miss any work and would only be alone with the kids for a manageable amount of time (side note: I'm not implying that my husband can't handle time alone with the kids. I'm saying that being the only adult with two children who are at the age and level of neediness as ours is hard, and prolonged single exposure is hard for anyone, me included). So, armed with my audio copy of Gone Girl, I left home at 3am and returned home at 1am. It was a long day, but it was well worth it. I love this sweet girl and her family, and being a part of this wedding was so special.
