This past weekend I got to go on my first "Schaefer road trip." We traveled to New Jersey for the wedding of some of Toby's family friends. It was so much fun as Toby, Scooter, Ben, Patricia and I packed into a car for the 5 hour drive. We met Sue, Ulrich, Brennan, Holly and Isaiah up there. Since I haven't been a Schaefer for very long, I don't know everyone very well yet so I always look forward to any time I get to spend with any of my in-laws! I want to be super intentional about getting to know everyone and letting them get to know me. I feel like I have the best in-laws ever! This weekend was so much fun and I loved getting to talk with everyone. I always hear people make jokes about how in-laws can be a nuisance or difficult, and I honestly feel very sad for those people that they don't have the Schaefer's as their in-laws. Everyone is so welcoming, kind, and caring. And all of the brothers have an uncanny ability to make anyone laugh. Toby and I always talk about how fun it would be if everyone lived closer so we could all spend more time together. I am so excited now for my first Schaefer Christmas so that I can see everyone again!
The wedding was so much fun. Whenever Toby and I go to a wedding together we dance the whole time! Neither of us knows how to dance, but we like to pretend and we have a blast doing it. I can't wait for Ben and Patricia's wedding so we can dance again! I also loved seeing Isaiah. He is the cutest thing. He loves to give hugs and he wanted me to hold him the whole day. I was in Auntie heaven! And on Sunday we went to Scooter and Laura's for the Super Bowl, which was more Aunt Chelsea heaven. Landon was playing with me and letting me read him books and by the end of the night he would run over and give me hugs. The Super Bowl was fun, but Landon was definitely the highlight for me! At one point, he was sitting on Toby's lap and Toby was reading to him. My heart was melting.
All in all it was a very busy weekend! We were exhausted on Monday but it was so worth it to spend so much time with our family.
