here are the pictures from our reception in ohio on january 5th. we flew out on the 1st and came back on the 6th since matt and i both had to be at work on the 7th. the trip there was a long one: 4 different flights and three different planes! because the weather was so bad that day up north, our first flight was delayed. our next two planes had "mechanical problems" (and we sat on those planes for an hour to an hour and a half before they determined we wouldn't be flying) and by the time we finally got to take off, our luggage had actually beat us to ohio by about an hour -- after making a stop in chicago! the rest of the trip went smoothly, and we had a great time. i got to enjoy some REAL snow, that matt's family said they special ordered for me ;), and we got to spend time with our family. my parent's made the trip up, too, so they could be there for the reception. lucky for my parents, their flight to ohio was much less complicated. in addition to the reception, the family also threw matt and i another wedding shower, coordinated a "beer and pizza" night when my parents arrived in town, and took everyone out to dinner at olive garden the night before the reception. the whole week was wonderful and we are very thankful to have such a loving and supportive family. we are so blessed to have such supportive, loving parents and a wonderful "new" family. thank you so much to everyone in ohio who made our stay so great!
