Slightly Warmer Experience

Lorraine and I recently returned to the venue where we got married. Some friends of ours who had actually recommended the place to us, were getting married there too. Although, somewhat more sensibly, they chose to do it in June, much warmer!

They were able to use the outdoor facilities (stop sniggering Steve!) and were married in the gazebo in the garden. It was a great day and everyone had a good time.

In a lot of ways it kinda felt like a rerun for us, which we kinda expected, being as it was the same venue and organiser. They had the same minister, used the same room, same bar, and even had the same barstaff! Star was gracious enough to insist that we actually wear our wedding outfits for the occasion too, which was great, because, as regular readers know, most of my outfit didn't even show up in time for our wedding! He is how we should have looked, but for the international mail issues.

Steve showed himself to be every bit the food monster in a repeat performance of his crab cake experiment at Bob Chins, by fitting an entire Chicken Kiev into his mouth and eating it; earning himself $15 which he later spent in shots at the bar. Star took off next day for a cruise in Alaska, very jealous, and I look forward to hearing about that. In the meantime here a few more of my pictures of the day.

Vote For The Cutest Baby

If you think my little girl is just the cutest thing your ever saw, then please vote for her. I recently entered her in a local radio station contest, and we only have about a week to vote to get her through this round, then I would guess some other voting in following rounds. Click here to go to the site and vote , as many times as you can/want, although I think you have to register before you vote, so I understand some people will not want to do that. Vote early, vote often!

Webcast Is Coming

Image
I have been working with a guy in the office, to get this thing going (although really he is the technical whizz on this). The long and short of it, is that it looks fantastic. We tried it last night. The picture quality is a little jerky, but the sound is great, and it's not like we will be running around. We still need to go to the venue and test it there, then set up all the connections and stuff, but barring some major failure..it's on! It will be broadcast here .

News Update

Image
Well it's been a while since I posted any news about what is going on here with us, so I thought I would kinda pull together thoughts from the last few months. The first and most exciting news is our forthcoming new addition. Our first child is due September 25 th , for those of you who haven't read in a little while or seen the posting, click here . All is well, and we are trying to plan our year, including any trips, especially where flying is involved, before it is too late for Lorraine to fly. According to the due date we are at 15 weeks right now, and there is not much else to tell. She is not really showing yet, no kicking, etc. She was as sick as a dog on dodgy dog food for the whole first tri mester , and whilst she is much better now, she still has some issues in the evening. I mention the dodgy dog food intentionally because of an issue which is only getting worse here in the US. For months a major rebranding manufacturer (name withheld to protect from law suits :-) ...
