When last we met, I was expounding upon the injustices being performed at the highest levels of our incomparable government. This will be somewhat of a lighter post and a catching up, if you will, on the events of the past three months.
February saw the two of us pick up the pace on our wedding planning and preparation, since the big day was but a month and a half away.
March was even more hectic. The wedding took place on the 28th, and up to that point, everything was wild and hurried. My family flew and drove in just in time, and the ceremony went quite well. I will have to set up a server or an online photo album somewhere to post all of the pictures that were taken. All in all, the service went well, and everything looked great. We owe a big thanks to Mrs. Snyder for her work on the decorations, and her inestimable effort on the cake. Also, we owe Marc and Sara Rhodes who did an outstanding job singing and playing the piano (respectfully) for the service. We were honored to have the groomsmen, bridesmaids, and ushers that we had. Thank you Luke, Melodie, Brad, Anna, Seth, Shelbi, Nathan, Rachel, DJ, and Bryce. The Lord has truly blessed us with the greatest of friends and family.
April was a mixed bag, as the first half was the honeymoon in St. Augustine and the Bahamas and the second half was a return to the real world and the job. I love my job, but it is hard to come back to after spending so much time off.
I have finished 19 books since I posted last, and I will list them all quickly here for those who may have some interest in reading good books.
1. The 13 volumes of Lemony Snicket’s Series of Unfortunate Events
2. The Associate by John Grisham
3. Agincourt by Bernard Cornwell (This book was my favorite of the year so far)
4. Memorial Day by Vince Flynn
5. The Archer’s Tale by Bernard Cornwell
6. Vagabond by Bernard Cornwell
7. Luke’s Story by Tim Lahaye and Jerry Jenkins
Agincourt was an excellent book about the ancient battle that took place between the French and the British in 1415. Awesome book! I have been reading quite a bit of Bernard Cornwell, because I am trying to catch up with his writing. I have only two left and then I will be completely caught up and ready for the new King Alfred book this fall. Hooray!
Anyway, my wife’s birthday is this weekend, and we are going to see Wolverine. That is not the only gift for those of you who have a shocked look on your face that I would be so cheap. J
I have other things; however, to mention them here would ruin the surprise.
My brother’s birthday was yesterday, and he turned 20. He is away at college and he is touring this summer with the college’s singing group, so I will not get to see him until he returns here in August.
Now I am droning, so I need to wrap this up. Overall, the past three months have been hectic, but rather enjoyable.
I will be back someday…
