As I mentioned in my last post, Mark and I had plans to attend a wedding last weekend. We started to get worried on Thursday night when we saw the huge snowstorm heading towards the Northeast. After two cancelled flights due to the weather and few tearful phone calls (thinking we weren't going to make it!), we actually made it to Philadelphia for Joelle and Matt's wedding! Mark found a flight online at the last minute for VERY early Saturday morning that got us into town for a quick 36 hour trip, but it was totally worth it! We hadn't called to tell Joelle and Matt about the last minute flight, just in case something happened, and we wound up literally running into Joelle at the hotel - there was a lot of screaming, jumping up and down and hugging :)
Joelle looked amazing, and she and Matt are one of the sweetest couples I've ever met. The ceremony was perfect and the reception was so much fun! Despite our 4am wake-up call, Mark and I actually made it to the end of the party and danced the night away with the newlyweds and their friends and family. After a very sound night of sleep, we went to the goodbye brunch in the morning (yum!) and spent some time with Mark's best friend Kris and his wife Beth, for shopping and lunch in downtown Philly. It was a great weekend, and it meant so much to us to be there. We got some great pictures of the perfect day, and even found time to sneak away to the Villanova bookstore and buy Lily her first present from Mom and Dad!
Lily is getting more active, and I'm feeling her move more every day. In fact, I actually watched my stomach bounce up and down the other night!! Hopefully Mark will be able to feel her move soon too :)

Yay! I made it to the baby blog! Now we know that if Lily has a thing for wedding band music, Matt & I are to blame.
It means to world to us that you were there & that you worked so hard to get there and be with us.
Plus, Lily got to 'meet' Villanova so she knows her roots!!!
love you guys
