Weekend in TX

We went to TX last weekend for my cousin, Diana's wedding. John and I were SUPPOSED to fly to Austin Friday night. We get to the airport and the flight says 10:30 instead of 7:30 pm. We thought at first that it would be 15 minutes late landing, but we soon found out that the flight was delayed to leave Chicago at 10:30 pm. When we went to the gate to get more information on why the flight was delayed they couldn't tell us for sure that the flight would even take off. They were suggesting to fly to San Antonio or Houston instead. We decided to get on a plane to Houston instead. It took off at 8:35 pm and we landed in Houston about 11 pm. We had Brandy, who lives in Bryan/College Station, pick us up. By the time we got to her apartment it was 2 am!! (We took the long way home by accident :) ) We stayed at Brandy's house but she wasn't going to the wedding, which is in Belton near Killeen.
My Uncle Terry lives about 30 minutes from Brandy. I had asked him if we could ride with him to the Wedding when we found out we would have to go to Houston. He said sure. He picked us up on Saturday at about 3 pm by himself. I was wondering why he was by himself and then he told us he wasn't going to the wedding but gave us a ride to Austin anyway. We were so thankful. He dropped us off in Austin (it was about a 2 hour drive) and my aunt Tootoo drove us to and from the wedding. We stayed at Tootoo's house Saturday night.
On Sunday we went to see Iron Man 2 and then her and Torrey took us to the airport.
It was a VERY busy weekend, but I'm so glad we were able to go. It made me wonder if we would be able to do things like this after Austin comes. I think we will be able to go but we will not take airplanes that leave so late. Chicago is the WORST place to fly out of. Airplanes come in from all over that you can be delayed and there isn't even bad weather in Chicago. It can be very frustrating some time.

Here are some pictures from the reception:
