It's Almost Here!

We did a lot of smart things when we were planning our wedding and every single one has panned out with great rewards. At the top of the 'Smart Planning' that we did is the fact that we planned our honeymoon to be 6 weeks after the wedding. (On a side note: I can't FREAKING believe that we have already been married 6 weeks. It will be 6 weeks this Saturday and that can't be right. It feels like it was just yesterday.) Tomorrow at 2:15 we get out of school and we enter the great, great world of SPRING BREAK!!! I cannot tell you how much I need a break. I need a break from school and just a break from the every day. I can't wait to get away with Ja and be able to just enjoy each other.

Speaking of the wedding, a few things have happened that have allowed us to keep it going! It's kind of like spreading a birthday out over a couple of weeks with different dinners and get togethers. We have managed to continue to spread this out over six weeks!!

#1: My amazing talented and appreciated bro-in-law, Mr. Will Hege himself, spent a LOT LOT LOT of hours putting together a slideshow for Ja and me. He took all of the video that was taken over the weekend and any and all pictures he could steal from facebook and put it to the music we put on the CDs we made for our hotel baskets. It is ABSOLUTELY incredible. There is video of every thing that happened that weekend, including a lot of stuff that I didn't see because I was busy doing other stuff. I need to send a special thank you to all of the camera people for the weekend. I think that included Will, Leslie, Mom, and my cousin David and his wife, Claire. If I left anyone out, I am SO SORRY!!! We are going to be able to go back and watch that every anniversary and pull it out to show our kids one day. Thanks again, Will!! GREAT GREAT job!!

#2: Earlier this week we got a very special package in the mail. Our photographer, Sally Gupton, sent us our pictures and a slideshow. (I know I have mentioned her a few times in this blog, but she is that amazing. I feel like everyone deserves a chance to hear about her because if you want something to be well documented in your life, she would DEFINITELY be the person to call.) With all of those pictures, it's like we get to experience the whole thing over again. There are great pictures of the guests, great pictures of Ja and me, and awesome, awesome candids that just capture the feeling of the entire weekend. Once I get a free second I'll post some of those pictures on here and on facebook for everyone to see. We need to get some ordered to decorate the house!! Hopefully we'll be able to contain ourselves and not go overboard. There are just so many great pictures to choose from!!

#3: WE GET TO GO TO VEGAS, BABY!!! Neither of us have been and we have a lot of goodness planned. We are going to head to the Grand Canyon so Ja can experience that for the first time and we've got tickets to 'O' by Cirque de Soleil. I have ALWAYS dreamed of seeing a CdS show and I CANNOT wait for that. The entire thing is done over a massive pool and we went ahead and got the BEST seats since it is our one big thing. We are going to be sitting in the 'Wet Seats'. Yeah, we're that close.

I hope everyone has a great week...I know we sure will. Not only are we going to take Vegas by storm (I don't know if they're ready for us)...we are going to be on our honeymoon...BROWN CHICKEN BROWN COW!!!
