Land of the Free, Home of the Brave, and a View of the Cowboy's Cheerleaders

We flew back to the states to attend a wedding and a week of wedding festivites in Dallas, Texas.  The oldest of the three Marston boys, David, married Shiloh Rich (now a Marston herself) in a beautiful ceremony in October.  However, the wedding wasn't the only celebration we were able to attend.  The first night the whole family went to an amazing Mexican dinner.  The next night, the Drain's (Shiloh's parents) had a gathering at their house.  Then, the next day we all went to the Texas State Fair to indulge in corn dogs, fried snickers, fried mac-n-cheese, and anything else unhealthy you can imagine. Later that night went to Shiloh's grandfather's 90th birthday.  We celebrated with some amazing bar-b-que.  Friday morning, Natalie had lunch with her long-lost cousins, the Eagles.  That night, we attended the Rehearsal dinner (good job Fran!!!).  Saturday, the WEDDING!  Bobby gave a relaxed and funny speach (sooo proud of him) and we danced our little butts off.  The grand finale of the week was amazing seats at the Dallas Cowboy's game.  We were accompanied by Fran, Chris (the youngest Marston), and his girlfriend, Sophie.  Those cousins we mentioned earlier were kind enough to extend an invitation to their box...we were not going to argue.  We had a great time at the game with our new friends, good views, and great food.  It was the perfect, and most American way, to end our stay in the States before heading to Asia. 


We had to get a picture with Big Tex
