So what can I tell you about? Married life is great. R and I have settled in to this nicely. The rest of life is a bit chaotic though.
I've been going through horrible bouts of insomnia with no real clear cause. I've been pretty much in zombie mood all week. R is sick and dealing with computers that just seem to be against him.
Our wedding photographer got our proofs to us and R and I are so damn impressed by what he was able to do. His pictures are just gorgeous. I look half pretty in them. Thank you to modernartphotography.com for the lovely job. You are fantastic. If anyone wants a reference for him I will gladly give it to you. You can see a smattering of his shots here.
Last weekend we went to Seattle to see our friends S and D. The plan was to scout out camping locations for the next spring and summer. R and I are almost ready to start camping. My Dad's cousin bought us a great tent for car camping so now we just need to get some sleeping bags and some other basic equipment and we can start weekend car camping.
This is great because S and I grew up together spending numerous summer weekends with our parents car camping in the wilderness of Kansas. So that fact that we've met up and can do this as adults is very cool to me.
We went to Deception Pass in Northern Washington to look at two sites on Whidbey Island in the Puget Sound. Deception Pass is so very beautiful. The water that surrounds the island is emerald green and flows different directions depending on the tides and current. We saw kelp forests and sea lions and lots of fast moving whirlpools.The two camp sites look promising and we are resolved to go to one this summer.
Yesterday at work was our yearly Charitable Giving luncheon. One of the ladies in my office sponsored me to challenge the head attorney and Deputy COO of the office to a tricycle race. All the money gets split between the eight or so charities we donate to. However, in my heat the Lawyer and DCOO all cheated and sabotaged my run. The Lawyer held my wheels and then the DCOO cut me off and made me fall, therefore they all took off and looked like big men because they won... I even think I hear a grunt and there was a banging of a chest or too.
This weekend will be filled with writing thank you notes and packing up honeymoon presents for mom and dad and my brother.
