Overdue

I guess it's been a while since I've been on my computer - three and a half weeks. No big deal. Absence makes the heart grow fonder...or something like that. Basically I A) haven't had Internet access, B) started work, C) have been lazy.
It's not a multiple choice quiz. I'm just trying to justify myself. I have had so much happen in the last three weeks that I don't know what to write about.
Suffice it to say, Ross and I feel so blessed by our family and friends. We had the perfect wedding - from the rehearsal to the honeymoon, we couldn't have imagined anything better. Here are a handful of pictures to give you just a taste. I'll try to add to it in the near future.


The lanterns hanging in the walnut trees were my favorite decoration. (I think Mom gets the credit for that idea.)


Youk really wanted to be involved in the ceremony. He thought he might be able to retrieve the rings or something. Unfortunately, he got vetoed.


The next wedding?


The world's cutest baby. Just sayin'.


My namesake...the one on the right. Yes, my parents knew I was going to be a girl. Yes, my middle name is also after a man. Yes, I have man hands. There very well may be a correlation.


Next time I'll remember to brush my teeth...


The wedding party. There were a dozen cameras and we all decided to look at a different one. Makes for great pictures.


Then we walked into the sunset and lived happily ever after...

The Beginning.

Update

Mom and I survived the relay, and had a blast running it. It was waaaaaay better than last year. I'll credit the cooler temperature. I think Mom was running in 107 degree temps at one point last year, and this year we were probably under 90 degrees the whole time. We were the 24th team out of 150. One of the best parts was seeing the other team names and van decor. Some that stood out: Old and In Your Way, Pink Panters, Blood Sweat and Cheers, Tomahops, the Young and the Rest of Us, Far From the Van Again (that was us), Victorious Secret. I wish I could remember some of the others because they were pretty creative.
On another note, my big sis turned 29 yesterday. I feel compelled to write her a little poem.

Hey kitchen diva
Always the best
Everyone else stinks :)

Happy Birthday big sister!

These pictures don't have anything to do with anything, but they were absolutely necessary to include. Yes, I agree, he is the cutest thing to ever cross this blog.
