We had a wonderful holiday season and we hope that you did too. Visiting with Hope's family in Atlanta was fun. We enjoyed our time with the kids, especially our trip to the aquarium. Texas was nice too, very laid back the whole time.
We sent out our holiday cards right before we left on our trip and we assumed that they would barely reach you all in time for New Year's Eve. To our surprise we found out that most of you received them before Christmas. We realized after we sent them that maybe we should have labeled the pictures. The two on the top are us crossing the finish line at the Warrior Dash. It was a 5k mud-run and obstacle course that we did in Hawaii in March. The two bottom pictures are from our trip to Europe in April. The picture on the left is us enjoying some tapas in Barcelona, Spain. The picture on the right is over one of the canals in Venice, Italy. Last, but certainly not least, the center picture is us in front of our new house here in Albuquerque right after the sale closed and we officially became the owners in October.
We also sent out our Save-the-Date magnets along with our holiday cards. We have been engaged for over a year now (since October 2011), but we never got around to taking engagement pictures. Since we didn't have a professional picture of ourselves (and since we figured you didn't want to have our faces staring at you from your refrigerator for the next eight months), we went with the picture you see here. Suthee wrote in the sand and took this picture on a black sand beach on the Big Island of Hawaii during a visit there last year before we were engaged.
We're slowly but surely updating our wedding website. Right now it just has a few things, but eventually it will have all of the details that you will need. We have a link to the site under the "Wedding Plans" tab on this blog.
