My parents came in yesterday- they left after my dad got off work so they got in pretty late. They're watching the kids for us this weekend so we can go to a wedding! One of Zachary's fellow LEAD Program cohort members got married today in Norfolk, VA. We were hoping to have some time to ride around and look at where we may be living in two years or so but we barely made it to the wedding in time. It's Memorial Day weekend so traffic was pretty heavy. We got this picture of Miss Malia while we were riding- she must not have gotten enough sleep last night!
We got to the hotel with some time to change but the line of people
checking in was long and they were doing renovations so there were no
public bathrooms downstairs. So we had to change in the car. When we got there, we sat towards the back and didn't see any of Zachary's other fellow cohort members that were supposed to be there... they were later than we were! They got there after the bride walked in... but no judgment here- traffic was rough. Anyway- the wedding was beautiful. And we were planning on staying at the reception for a little while so we could look around Norfolk and spend some time together without screaming children. But we had so much fun at the reception that we stayed until almost 9pm! Zachary talked me into doing karoke... we sang "Lucky" by Jason Mraz and Colby Caillat. I got five weeks off from cleaning out the litter box for it. Here's a picture of all the guys singing karoke a little later when everyone was nice and intoxicated...
And here's a better picture of Zachary with this fellow cohort members: Kayron, Kelly, Will, Brandon.
Oh my goodness. Today was graduation day at the Naval Academy. We went to the gym in the morning and had the unfortunate timing of driving near the academy when graduation was over. There were traffic cops who decided to ignore the perfectly capable traffic lights and make their own dysfunctional, dangerous traffic pattern. At one point, as we were nearing our old apartments, there were two Navy police in the street who decided we needed to go down a street that led to downtown which was a nightmare. There was nowhere to turn around and it would have added probably an hour to our trip home. So Zachary decided he was going to give them a hard time about it. It was a crazy direction but they were adamant about it. They were yelling, Zachary was driving as slowly as possible so they started threatening. It stressed me out so much but he eventually did what they hollering about- we ended up riding through the baseball stadium parking lot and got stopped at the gate eight entrance and watched Biden ride right past us. As a fan of our current administration, that was pretty neat. He rode by and a few minutes later, we saw several helicopters head out. Zachary sure knows how to make things memorable. Also, I got a video of Liam saying pizza over and over again- this is but a snippet.
