Wedding Photos...6/9/07

What better way to kick off this blog than by showing pictures of our actual wedding? The one above was taken in the industrial wine barrels at the Firestone Winery, at the main part of the vineyard. Luckly, our clothes didn't get too dirty when we were leaning on them during this series of shots.
Our exit from Old Mission Santa Ines. The throwing of the rose petals didn't work as splendidly as we'd hoped, but we still got a few cool shots with the colorful petals cascading on either side of this. Oh well. No "take twos" when you're walking down the aisle.

Month One of Marriage

Few things in life have been better in life than getting engaged...Things that were equally as exciting and as impacting to me as getting engaged were:



1. Learning to ride a 2-wheeler. Mind you, I didn't actually ride a 2-wheeler completely on my own, (that means without my dad sneakily jogging behind me and grabbing that semi-circle handle on the back of my pink floral banana seat when I start wobbling too unsteadily...) until I was 6. Now call me slow, but I do think this was late in life to learn to ride a bike.



2. Luckily, I got my driver's license the day after I turned 16, because my sweet sixteen happened on a Sunday and the DMV was closed. I passed my driver's test and scored 100% on the exam. Fortunately, I'd learned a lot about wheel control by the time I got behind the steering wheel of an automobile.



3. Going to college. Ahh...Freedom. Real world freedom in pretend, college Utopian society. Nothing was better in my life than college. Friends with open minds and open hearts all around you. Music, art, sports all at your finger tips. Greasy, all night food establishments. Lecture halls where they don't take attendance but on topics that you really love like the Beatles, Air Pollution, and Shakespeare, and California History.
