One....

...quick story between mopping the kitchen floor and going out to fight with the bermuda grass a little more. And after that hopefully, I can finish the official wedding post.

This past Friday, after Bruce got home and we got stuff together, we were busily packing for the trip up to KC. We'd decided to take the car since it gets better gas milage than the van, especially as there's only two of us coming up this season.

We got everything in the trunk, checked the house, made sure everything was locked and the packing list completed. Then we got into the car and took off with the radio on, as usual. As we went down our block when we heard a quiet "meow." We looked at one another, unsure if it was coming from the radio or elsewhere. Bruce turned off the radio and we heard, "meow!" Bruce said, "BrokenTail, right?" and I answered, "Yep, I think so too."

He turned the car around in a driveway and heard another "MEOW" as we headed back for the house. I said, "Hold on, baby, we'll be right there" and got "ME-WOW!" as a response. Soon as we pulled to a stop in the driveway, he popped the lid and I ran around to get the poor cat out of the trunk.

Who should pop out of the back of the trunk, looking entirely indignant about the stupid humans shutting her in, but little miss Princess Penny. I picked her up and took her back into the house, petting and cooing and trying to calm her imperial highness's distressed feeling.

Then we closed the garage door and laughed our way back up the block again, heading for KC.

*sigh*

Taking a break after I managed to throw some dirt into my own eye. OWOWOW! Yes, it's ok. I ran in and rinsed it out and my contact and it's alright but OW.

So I'm headed back out for more battling with Bermuda. No, I don't think I'll win, but it's a worthy battle and at least I'll get my iris bulbs planted. I disturbed two nice big earthworms and moved them gently to the part I'd already dug but unfortunately, chopped another in half. Yes, I apologized to it. Yes, I'm a sap but I don't care.

One more thing, I wish everybody had at least one icon that was them; their real face so I could tell if I know folk or not. My memory for putting names to faces or descriptions to people SUCKS so yeah, it would help for a real pic of a real face....but some folk like to hide. Some folk have good reason for it but some don't and that makes me suspicious. I'm just sayin...I'm more careful about friending folk than I used to be.

EDIT: Dear, Silly people, I mean the ones I don't KNOW or haven't already seen pics of their faces. *LOL* You guys crack me up!

The Wedding Post

At long last...actually, what's been taking me so long is wading through and labeling all the images. That, and the need to actually work on stuff rather than spend all day on LiveJournal.

( DA OFFICIAL WEDDING POST..need I warn this'll be long? )

*whew* That took me long enough. I'm gonna stop right there for now and do the reception post later. But this needed to get done!

Thanks so all who contributed images for this, most particularly 5rings and fairyoffire!


And once again, many thanks to all the dear friends who made this amazing, unforgettable day possible. It was a more wonderful wedding and perfect day than I could ever have imagined. Thanks to Dear Star and dear John who conspired to make the service fun, memorable and exactly right. Thanks to our dear loved ones, AmberBob & Mark & Amber & Eric who were our attendants; to darling Jenny who came to the wedding afterall to our great delight. And thanks to our many friends and loved ones who wished us well even though they could not be there with us in person. Believe me, we felt the love throughout the whole weekend and even now still.

I'm the luckiest woman alive, truly I am.

EDIT: And for those who simply can't get enough, dearling billthetailor worked hard videotaping the whole thing, including reception. I know he and 5rings are going to incorporate some of the images into it, as well. I'll let him post about how that will eventually be made available. I can't WAIT to see it!
