...aaaaaaaaaand we're back.
What a whirlwind week. Let me 'splain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up:
- The rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, wedding preps, wedding and reception went off with nary a hitch (save for an unfortunate hot-lather shave at the barber's before the wedding that sliced me up pretty good - but that's another story). The presence of family and close friends meant more to us than you'll ever know.
- The trip to Mexico was everything we expected it to be and more. Awesome places (in the true sense of the word), great people, and tasty beverages.
- We opened up the rest of the presents and are finally getting settled in to our home the way we want it, beginning our new life together exactly on our terms. It's a beautiful thing.
- We'll be posting our usual full gallery of pics from all events surrounding the wedding, but for now, via Ofoto, here's a gallery of pics from the honeymoon.
Now, a few links for you to ponder:
- Art-O-Mat (courtesy of The Ongoing Effort): What a sweet idea for an adaptive reuse project (that also brings art to the masses).
- Teachers booted from Bush rally: Again, regardless of your political leanings, this is just ludicrous - especially when they were GOP members who got tickets and had no intention of protesting (they were there in support of the president!) I have no idea why Bush/Cheney campaign officials thought this was a good idea...
- TripAdvisor: This site saved our you-know-whats on this trip. Great advice on nearly any hotel or vacation destination from people who have actually been there. Think of it as a Google for travel advice.
