Boogren Wedding and Randy's Birthday Weekend

Last week, I took the kids to Maybury Farm to see the animals and have a picnic lunch.  Maybury State Park is just down the street from our new home in Northville, and we are super duper pumped to begin using all the awesome things a state park offers (hiking, biking, horseback riding, etc...)



Teta and Sitty Salwa spent all day (literally that's how long it takes) to prepare stuffed cabbage rolls.  Another fabulous and traditional Arabic meal and amazingly healthy dinner prepared by my mother in-law! Helaina shows great interest in cooking and sat with Sitty rolling leaves for over an hour.  


We had been looking forward to this past weekend all summer long!  With the help of Randy's parents and my parents who split babysitting duties, we journeyed to Michigan's Upper Peninsula for the first time together (and without the kids)!  Randy's partner at the dental office and very close friend, Jeff, married his bride, Julie, in Marquette.  Thursday evening we drove 4 hours after work and spent the night in Mackinaw City.  The last time (and only time) Randy and I had been there together was 7 years ago for our engagement!  It was nice to have a couple hours in the city and enjoy the view off our balcony of Lake Huron.
Friday we spent the rest of the morning/afternoon making the trek 3 hours farther north up to Marquette.  Friday night was the rehearsal dinner, and Jeff and Julie surprised Randy with a birthday cake to celebrate his 37th birthday!  

Randy was a groomsmen in the wedding, and all of Saturday was spent celebrating Jeff and Julie and Randy's birthday!

Julie and STUNNING and the ceremony and reception were lovely.

We don't get many of these opportunities to have a few days alone together, and we cherished every single moment.  With our 6 year anniversary just a couple weeks away, it was a beautiful reminder of how much I love Randy and our marriage and the life we share together!!!  Happy Birthday to the wonderful man in our lives!
