Wedding Bells, In Ohio

Last week I had the opportunity to fly to the States for the wedding of my dear friend Ivy. Some of you know her as Ivy Fisher - she has since changed her name, due to said wedding. It was a blessing to be able to attend this special event. Thank you to all who helped me get there!

Ivy and I have been friends since college. We ran on the cross country team together, and after she graduated in 2005, we shared an apartment for a year. She was the best roommate I ever had. She really wanted me to be a part of her wedding, so after many weeks of ticket-hunting, I was able to commit and travel north to be the second of two bridesmaids.

The wedding was in a small town north of Dayton. Ivy and Nate, being simple people, kept the wedding very simple. They held the event in a small church, which was perfect for the short guest list. They invited their family and close friends, which made for a very special and intimate wedding.

Being friends with Ivy's family, I had a nice weekend altogether. After the bride and groom left, and we made a stab at cleaning up the kitchen, we found time for some eucre, and I had my first geocaching trip. It was a nice trip, but busy! I was so tired by the end of it.

Side note: it took me four planes to get from Teguc to Dayton, and another four on the return trip. And if you ever come to Latin America, you should try out Taca Airlines.
