Trip to Arizona!

I went back to work November 7th but only for a few days before we headed out to Arizona for our friend’s Tyler and Amy’s wedding! We left Wednesday after work to drive to Des Moines and stayed with the Willoughbys. This was Lincoln’s first long car right and first night away from our house. He was such a trooper. We flew out early the next day on daddy’s birthday. Mom was a little stressed just worrying about how his first flight would go. Lincoln only fussed about one minute switching sides nursing. Whew, I just didn’t want to be that mom with a screaming baby! We kept him covered the whole flight and practically nobody knew he was even there! Their wedding was 11-11-11! Lincoln got to spend the day with the girls relaxing and getting ready. During the wedding, right as AJ and I were starting to walk down the aisle, Lincoln started crying ready to eat. The whole time standing up front I was worrying about him and felt bad for our friend who had to miss practically the whole wedding to feed and take care of him. She came back just in time for the vows! The reception was beautiful! It was at Amy’s dad’s amazing house outside. They had heaters brought in which made it nice and cozy. I just cuddled Lincoln and we had a great time. We hung out the next day for a little while at her dad’s house before taking off to go back home. Our flight home definitely wasn’t as smooth sailing as the way there. There was HORRIBLE turbulence due to 75 mph tail wind. It was pretty much dropping us out of the sky. It lasted about 30 minutes and had to get higher in altitude to find higher air. People’s things started falling so they made everyone put everything up. I had to hold on to Lincoln really tight. We were super nervous this whole time. Lincoln was amazing and slept through it all :) We drove home from Des Monies that night and got home at about 2:30 am. It was a short trip but we had lots of fun spending time with the Geopferts!
