The wedding was very pretty, fun to see old friends too. The pic above is the grounds around where they had the reception, it was absolutely beautiful and the weather was perfect. Here are a couple more pics from the reception. 
So Steve had to play for worship team the next morning (today) so we wanted to make sure we didn't get home too late. We started heading home around 7pm for our 2.5 hr drive. We started finding our way back to the highway when we heard this strange sound. Steve turned down the radio and thought it sounded like our tire. He pulled off into a subdivision before getting onto the highway and this is what we found! 
Perfect! This is our new car and of course we hadn't even checked to see what kind of spare we had in the back. Fortunately there was one, and Steve got to work changing the tire, dress suit and all. I am sooo unbelievably thankful that he was with me. I know how to change a tire in theory, but I would have been in tears if I'd been alone. I took a video of him doing it. It sounded so funny. I cut the video right before he looked at me and said "are you enjoying this?" I was laughing but just because the situation was so funny. Us in our wedding outfits, in a nice neighborhood changing a flat with this noise:So now we realize that we probably shouldn't attempt to drive all the way home on a doughnut (max speed like 45mph) but it's 7:30 on a Saturday night! We ended up calling Steve's mom and she looked up several places near us that we could try, and we asked a few places near where we were. We ended up at a Walmart almost an hour after the service shop had closed, but there were still 3 or 4 people hanging around. We begged and pleaded and they reopened for us to fix our tire. We were so grateful and it only ended up costing us $9.50! The best possible outcome for sure! Oh, and the problem was that the little plug where you fill your tire, well that had broken. So even if we had a tire fix kit with us, we couldn't have fixed the tire ourselves. Yet another reason to be incredibly thankful that we found someone to fix it.
So now we're resting up for a very big week. We're getting ready for Joe and Lara to come visit for a night (Steve's bro and his wife) and then we're all driving up together to see Steve's mom's side of the family for an extended 4th of July weekend. Hope you all enjoy your holiday too!
