Radford Family: May 2009

We were able to travel to Oregon for a good week and half for my sisters wedding. We headed out early for Coleman to do some work on a friends house. The first few nights we stayed with the Strasburgs and got to spend some good quality time with the family(Thanks Allyson). We stayed with my dad the rest of the time. Angelie and Richard arrived Friday and the work began. A bridal shower with Carolyn Dejong on Saturday, Church with mom on Sunday, dinner with my dads family Sunday night. We finally got to meet Richards parents. Such a sweet family. Monday was a run around day and visit people in town. Monday night was Angelie's bachelorette party at the Gibbs home. Tuesday morning I hosted a breakfast bridal shower at the Cadillac Cafe downtown. Seriously the best French Toast ever accompanied with a big mug of hot cocoa. Tuesday night family pictures following the wedding dinner held at the Sivertson's home. (Thanks for all your help Sivertson Family). Wednesday was wedding day. It was pouring down rain, which a week earlier had said it was going to be 70 degrees. I don't know why I had trusted the news to be true. But by the time the sealing was done there were breaks of sunshine. It was so pretty there. On with the day....luncheon at the church to finish setting up. I had to make a DVD of their pictures from childhood and their wedding in Holland (It's a long story, Angelie will you post that?). Reception at 6:30pm and clean up till 10pm. Overall it was a beautiful wedding and we were so glad that we could be able to go back home and stay long enough to enjoy it. Thursday all the Linthorst's headed to Seaside. I rented a house right there in Seaside right on the promenade. It was beautiful and we got so lucky with the weather on Friday. We went a fed the seals at the Aquarium, went shopping, strolled main street, and just relaxed. Saturday was rainy so we headed to Tillamook Cheese Factory. Sunday we headed out and flew home that evening. Wow it was a busy week but are glad to be home and settled in. We are looking forward to summer and the warm weather. Happy Mothers Day momma's! We love you all so very much and hope you have a wonderful day.

Have a great week.
