It'll be an interesting weekend...

This weekend should be interesting....

We have the church wedding/reception for Aaron's brother.  You know the one... the one that eloped.

Since their wedding, their story has only gotten crazier.  I think they have gone and lost their damn minds.  Therefore, this weekend will be interesting.  All of Aaron's family is in town for the wedding.  Some of his aunts, uncles and cousins we haven't seen in years.  So the majority of them haven't met Aaden.  I'm excited to introduce them all to him, but not for the grabby - pass the baby atmosphere that is his family.  Plus I think the better than half of his family is certifiably nuts, so it should be fun.  (Although who doesn't have family that is crazy?!  I know some of my family is!)

I am VERY excited for Aaden to spend time with his godparents this weekend though!  He gets to see my sister on Saturday since she's in town, and Aaron's brother is here from Montana for the wedding.

Sunday will hopefully be a nice relaxing day at home - and finishing up the last of some tax returns!

A few of the items that make his brother, Andrew and his new wife nuts.
1. They live in their grandparent's old farmhouse.  Paid for by the gparents estate.  It has no shower.  Oh, and they are hoarders and slobs.  Can hardly make it in the front door.
2.  Since these two crazy kids have met, they have both started and quit their jobs.  Andrew used to have a respectable career, but it "got in the way" of his time with Amber.  So he has since quit all preceding jobs.
3. They mooch off Aaron's parents in order to get by financially.
4. They want kids now - i think they forget that kids cost $$.
5. They invited some of Andrew's cousins to the wedding.  A few here and a few there (leaving out only a handful).  And hand selected which kids could attend too.  So now some of the family is not attending at all to make a point.
6. They waited weeks to announce their elopement to the extended family. And when the did, they did it at a bridal shower thrown for them, after the party was over.  (Essentially lying during the party - it was very uncomfortable for the half of us there that knew).
7. (My favorite) Their reasoning to rush the marriage - "If we didn't get married when we did, we probably would have broken up.  We couldn't handle the constant commuting between where we were living." (They lived 30 minutes apart).

This is just a sampling... nuts right?!  Thank goodness we only see them on holidays.  This weekend should be interesting.
