Some photos of The Day...

While we sort through the many, many amazing wedding photos, we thought we would share a few taken by friends and family. The image above is just one of about 300 cool candids that are over on halebob.net. Check out the link below! Thanks, Hale!

Warm and Sunny?

It's not warm and sunny where we ARE right now but it definitely was warm and sunny where we WERE just a couple weeks ago on our honeymoon. In fact, no sooner did we arrive home then a half foot of snow, sleet, frozen rain and ice blanketed our 'hood. In the south, where little storms like this are rare, the ground cover hung around for a while.

On a positive note, we had time to begin sorting through photos from the wedding and honeymoon. And since it is still winter, and we miss our already faded tans, we thought we would start by sharing honeymoon images to make everyone (including us) jealous. There is a cut/paste link to our Flickr photo set (at the bottom of this post) where you can see almost all of our photographic handiwork. To get things started, here are a few images....

We were welcomed to the Caribbean by a bottle of champagne,


toured the El Yunque rain forest in Puerto Rico,


struck cheesy tourist poses in places like Bridgetown, Barbados,


soaked up the sun on breathtaking overlooks like here in Antigua,


and, of course, cruised in style!


The rest of the images can be found here...

Check them out on a cold and cloudy day, OK? They will warm you and make you dream of exotic escapes! If you decide to go anywhere warm, why not take us along? We miss the sun and want to make more memories!

It's nearly a month later...

...and we are home and getting settled. Can you believe it? We definitely cannot. A pre-wedding week of excitement and planning chaos. A clear and cold wedding day celebrating with our family and dear friends. A glorious honeymoon under the warm tropical sun. And then "welcome home" presents of snow, sleet and ice. We were happy to come home to see the lil' girls, Carly and Abby, but we were sad to see our tans quickly fade. But our house is still standing thanks to our wonderful neighbors who "house sat" while we were away and all the mail (and wedding gifts) were safely watched, too. Big thanks!

No sooner did we arrive home than we were back in action as a married couple. The holiday decorations came down just before we welcomed our first house guests (Aunt Betty and Uncle John). Our rehearsal, wedding and honeymoon photos arrived. We have begun opening gifts, reconnecting with friends and neighbors and, oh yeah, doing a bit of work, too.

Beneath it all we are making time to be together and be newlyweds...it is so important to do, isn't it? So bear with us and be patient. We aren't going anywhere in the near future but we need to get our footing.

What should you expect to see? We will post photos here as quickly as possible and we will begin to share our memories, too. If you took any photos will you please send them to us? We would love to see them. And share your stories, too! No secrets, OK? Our photographer was a good one and she caught you on camera....

For now, we added some music to the site and hope you enjoy the easy listening. If the songs sound familiar it is because they are taken from the cocktail hour and dinner play list. At least we think they were...the reception went by too quickly, didn't it?

All our love,

Sarah and Mike
