Easter in Oklahoma and the Ahlenius wedding

This year we had Easter in Oklahoma with my grandma. Mike and I drove to Corsicana and we rode to Oklahoma with my parents and Kate. When we got there we ate lunch and walked around the farm. It was great to see and visit with my grandma and aunt and uncle. On Easter we all went to church and then had a big "dinner" (lunch) afterwards. Grandpa has been gone about 5 years now and it still seems like he will just walk around the corner and say he needs to go fix something out in the barn. He was the best grandpa. He made biscuits and gravy like no one else, he could fix anything and he would tell you all the stories you wanted to hear.



A couple of days before Mark's, Mike's roommate, wedding Mike and I headed to Temple to hang out with Mike's other roommate, Kevin, and his girlfriend, Hannah. Hannah's parents live on a ranch in Temple. They have a gorgeous house and a lot of land. It was pretty hot so we decided it would be fun to take the boat out and go to the lake. We loaded the boat up and headed to the lake. We stopped to get gas and some yummy refreshments and then we were on our way. It was a ton of fun on the lake! We got to tube, ski and get a tan! It was a great day. 



Here is a fun slow mo video of Mike and Kevin being slung off the tube. 



The next day we headed to Waxahachie for Mark and Brynn's wedding. It was a cute small backyard wedding. They had the wedding at Brynn's parents house. It was so perfect for them! Mike was a groomsman and I helped get things set up and ready for the wedding. The rain was trying to come through, but it held off just for the wedding and reception. It was a great time!
