Destination Weddings

We had a really fun dinner with some friends Saturday night and a topic of conversation that came up was what kind of wedding you would have or where you would get married. (There was one couple at our table who were not married.)

Allan and I got married in Seattle (ceremony and reception) and had a second reception in California for most of our family who couldn’t make it to our ceremony. Our wedding day was absolutely BEAUTIFUL. It was a November day in Seattle, so we were tempting fate a little bit, but it turned out sunny, bright, and as beautiful a day as could be. I wouldn’t change very much about our wedding. But, and it’s a little but, it would be tempting to do a destination wedding if I had to do it all over again. I think that our closest family and friends would still go (I’d hope) and it would just be so fun! We haven’t gotten to shoot a destination wedding yet, but hope to soon!


Sleep is Overrated

Exactly five years ago, I discovered that sleep is overrated. On February 19, 2005, Yolanda went into labor with our oldest son. We were admitted into the hospital mid-morning and twenty sleepless hours later, my sweet son was born. He has been depriving me of sleep ever since. Midnight bottles, late-night prayers, 4 am nightmares, early morning breakfasts, anything he could do but let me sleep! Joy is strange…sometimes you don’t realize it’s there until you have a chance to see it in hindsight. We celebrated Lucas’ birthday today with a Star Wars party. Yolanda and I made Jedi Robes and planned games for Lucas and his little buddies. We stayed up late and woke up early to finish preparations.


BRING IT!

We are Cardio X tonight! We just finished P90X’s cardio workout and we feel…eh. No, we feel good! That’s a lot to say for the two of us who are non-exercise-type people. The workout lasted about 45 minutes and consisted of cardio (duh), yoga, a kenpo workout, plyometrics, and some core synergistics. We grunted and laughed our way through it all and now we’re ready to go and throw up. (Hopefully not!)
