Mr. and Mrs. Cooney

Last weekend was my sister and Greg's wedding.  It was so beautiful and everything was awesome.  I know they had an amazing day and everyone had so much fun.  In the morning we got our hair done at the salon, and then went to my mom's house to finish getting ready.  We ended up getting pretty lucky with the weather.  Even though it was raining a little bit on our way to the church, the sun came out the rest of the day, so they were able to get some outdoor pictures.  The ceremony was very nice (and short!)  Katie looked so beautiful and Greg looked awesome.  They both had big smiles on their faces the whole day. Kenley was so cute and well-behaved during the ceremony. She stole the show for a few seconds when she was wheeled down the aisle.  Then, we all went in the limo to cruise around a little bit before the reception.  It was a big wedding, so it was really nice to see all of our family and friends.  It was especially nice to see some of my cousins who had come in from out of town. Everything was great- the food, the drinks, the music, the chocolate fountain.  I think everyone had a good time. Katie and Greg are on their honeymoon in St. Lucia and I hope they're having a great time!
My parents also left for vacation this week to go on a cruise to Nova Scotia.  It has been wierd, especially since the weeks leading up to the wedding we were all calling and seeing each other a lot, to not have any contact with them and Katie and Greg.  But, I am looking forward to our vacation starting at the end of next week.  We are heading to Miami and then going on a cruise to the Bahamas.  We're going with our friends, Jim and Melissa Rose.  It will be very hard for both of us to leave our babies behind, but I know they will be in great company with their grandparents. I hope I don't get too sad, and that I am able to fully enjoy the vacation.  I am really looking forward to the excursion to the Atlantis resort.  I have always wanted to go there, and we will be able to use all of their ammenities the entire day.  I'm also lookng forward to Ray and I having some time together away from home.  It has been such an amazing, crazy, busy year and it will be great for us to be able to relax together.
