I throughly enjoyed myself all week hanging out with Zeke (even following him to the office as his personal assistant during the week). I stayed with him at his house and had the joy and honor of dining with his family a couple times. The Aasmans are all very charming, interesting, and sincere people and a real joy to be around. If I had not been born into my own family and had to choose another, I believe I would pick to be a part of this one. (Heheh, I just thought of Owen Wilson on The Royal Tenenbaums.)
Anyways, I also had the pleasure of Disc Golfing with Amber and Tyler (soon both to be Kuhns), and Loretta Jensen.
Can you believe that we played until almost midnight and took this picture at the end? If I had done that a month earlier, you would be thinking it was noon. Ah, the land of the midnight sun.Well, on Friday we finally got to hang out with Kyle and Nicole as well. (Nicole happened to be up there for a couple weeks as well.
We 4x4ed it up to the top of Goldenhorn Mountain and chatted while I impressed people with my shotgun skills (Thanks to the Elkford Alliance Men).The day of the wedding was pretty full. Nathan came over in the morning and made waffles and then we went fly fishing with the other Aasman males, even wearing our tuxedo jackets. The wedding began in the early afternoon at The Bean Coffee Roasters out on the Hotsprings road (I don't know why I say this because those that know where that is already know that's where it was).
Then, The reception was at the Yukon Transportation Museum (hands down the coolest reception location ever).
Oh, here's a picture of the cake with Zeke and Rona and Emily as well who actually made the cake. It was so delicious (hazelnut based I believe). Well, there are a million things you could say about the wedding, but I'll just say this one was an absolutely incredible experience to be a part of.
Early the next morning I had to get up because I had the pleasure of preaching at my old church; Riverdale Baptist. It was also really cool to see quite a few other church members from my youth there again. Sara, Kyle, Rachel, Lauretta, Mike, Marisa, and my sister, Melisa all came out to see me there as well. We got to all hang out for a bit over lunch before Kyle drove me quickly downtown to get some collectibles before I flew out again that afternoon. It was all a pretty great trip and I don't have the space to write everything about it here now, but it sure was good to go home for awhile. I can't wait to go back again.I wish I could have spent longer with everyone.
