Washington for the weekend

     Spencer and I recently went to Washington State for the weekend for his brothers wedding. It was a whirlwind trip. WE flew from JFK to Seattle and then to a small town called Walla Walla Washington. Justin got married on Saturday and the reception later that evening at a local restaurant. It was really nice to be with family again. When we arrived at the wedding Spencer's parents began to cry. It was really nice begin able to be there for Justin on his big day. I know how important it was that we were there and I am so happy we were.

     While being there I couldn't help but think of my wedding day! It really doesn't feel that long ago but the truth is it has been 2 1/2 years! That really was the happiest day of my life. One thing we both had at our wedding was a guest sign in book filled with engagement photos. I guess this si the new thing to do and i agree it is a lot better then a book just filled with names or writing. But this is so special to be because in my guest book my little brother, who is no longer with us, wrote something very special to me. I can't remember it word for word and I don't feel like looking at it any crying right now but he said something like, " Ashley I will look back on this day with pride. I love you. Your little bro Alan $pjute"
As you can imagine this entry is the most special to me at this time. So i made sure that Spencer and I both wrote in that guest book because you never know what might happen, and its never a bad time to tell someone you love them, especially in writing. Those things will last forever.
