Well, she showed up. I know, I was just as surprised as you are. But there it is. Family and friends, some from as far away as Indiana, others from as far away as Europe, came to jump aboard the California Princess and watch me get married. Although we are still gathering up an inventory of all the ways in which people loved us, gifted us, and sacrificed for us so we can send out an official thanks, let me give everyone right now a preliminary thanks for everything! It could not have been a better day. 80 degrees. No wind. No problems. Out on San Diego harbor enjoying friends, food, and fun. Here's a shot of the bride and groom. Ain't she pertiest thing you've ever seen?
I could not be married to a better woman. As she has been over the past year, Jennie remains a woman of profound beauty and grace, who loves God, and for whatever reason loves me as well. We had a great time in Kauai snorkeling, hiking, and just plain relaxing and spending time with each other. Surprisingly, we didn't have too many tiffs for the first week of spending every waking moment together! I thought that was a good sign. Here's a shot from our hike up the Na Pali coast on the north shore of Kauai:
So now we are getting settled into our new life. It's been nearly a month and we are figuring out life's fun little logistics, such as, who takes out the garbage? Who gets the mail? Who does this, that, and the other? My vote usually lies with Jennie. She finds that not to be so funny. I guess I don't blame her.
So that's it, really. Thanks again to all the people who in any way directly or indirectly helped make the wedding a success. And a special thanks to God for bringing me the gift of Jennie.
