Wedding Photos

So, I recently got a comment on the blog (quick side note: that made my heart happy because that means there is someone out there that reads this thing) that said something to the extent of “where the crap are your wedding photos?!”

That may be a little exaggerated, but you get the idea.

So, I’ve been looking for an application to make uploading to flickr from iPhoto a bit easier (since we have around 600 photos from the wedding), and recently got reacquainted to 1001.

My hope is that, by the time someone reads this, I’ll have a page dedicated to the slide show I’m putting together on flickr.

The next thing to tackle will be getting our honeymoon photos up. (I’ve got to find myself an xD card reader; since that’s the kind of data card my camera has in it <lame> )

Everything In Its Right Place

So, It’s been a while. Last time I posted, it was the night before my wedding. I’m happy to say that the day of the ceremony went exactly as planned, and we’re officially married. Hurray for me.

—-

So it’s been a few weeks, and I’d say that we’re still not totally settled. It’s tough being in a place of buying all new things, returning doubles, and sorting through all the old stuff you had; which turns out to also be too much stuff.

However, It has also been very exciting and gratifying. We knew what we were getting into, and we love this stage of life that we’re in. I’ve noticed this slightly more “grown up” feeling in both of us, as we observe our friends and family in their relationships. It’s strange to think of ourselves as “the old married couple” of our group of friends, but that’s what we’ve become. We’re in the circle as support to our friends that are in dating (and even engaged) relationships. It’s been fun to watch our friends grow, but it’s been equally disheartening when our friends don’t get something, and we seem to be able to see their selfishness for what it really is. Sure, we also have a lot to learn, but we’re very confident in the love we have for each other, and the way that we grow together.

Anyway, I suppose there’s a whole lot to talk about; the Student Center at Mariners that just opened up, our settling of the apartment, or even (for me) the new World of Warcraft patch, but I don’t have a ton to say right now. I had every intention to blog this afternoon, but then I went to the gym with my dad, and had lunch with him and my sister, so that took not only the afternoon away from me, but the muse as well. I was kind of hoping that if I listened to Radiohead a little bit I might get it back.

It turns out that it’s just made me a little sleepy.

It’s a Nice Day For a White Wedding

So, I had every intention to write a bit more in the last post as to why I had shaved. However, for those that know me- you already understand. For the rest of you, it’s because I’m getting married today.
It seems to be the norm that the people getting married have trouble sleeping, and I’m currently no different. However, I think that’s as similar as it gets when it comes to ‘before wedding symptoms’. No anxiety. No fears. No second thoughts. No nervousness. None of it.
Truthfully, I feel great. I’m calm, collected, at peace, but very excited and ready to be married.
As I’ve explained to a handful of the closest people in my life, all that I am experiencing is a peace; a calm as I enter in to a completely natural-feeling next step of life.
Yes, life will be different. Yes things will be challenging. As I get closer and closer to the reality of two-becoming-one, I feel as if I’ve been seeing black and white my whole life, and, although I had heard of colors, I’m now beginning to see their vibrant nature.

I’m so grateful to God for Debbie and His perfect plan for us. He is faithful, and I know it.
