Post-Wedding and Honeymoon update

Wow! We haven't updated since May. It has been a busy few months. May - August were consumed by wedding planning, then there was the honeymoon, and after that we were pretty exhausted. We've spent the last few months just enjoying married life, working, watching football, and of course traveling a bit.

The wedding was awesome! Thanks so much to everyone who came and those who were unable to make it but sent their good wishes. The ceremony was short and simple, and the reception was so much fun. We danced, we ate, there were wonderful toasts... It was exactly what we had hoped it would be. Our amazing photographer made this awesome slideshow.

We have been so lucky to have such wonderful friends and family. We were showered with so many generous wedding gifts, for which we are so grateful. It took us at least a month and a half to unpack and start using all of our new stuff. Our dishes actually match now, both bedrooms have full sets of matching bedding, we have a full set of matching towels, our pots and pans are amazing, we have a ton of new kitchen gadgets, and we just cannot express how grateful we are for all of it. Before this all of those things were just a mish-mash of unmatched things that we had both collected through college and it kind of looked like college students still lived here. We've been joking that it's starting to look like grown-ups actually live here.

Since the rest of the house was looking so great we
decided to update some of the furniture too

A few days after the wedding we headed off on our honeymoon. We went to the Galapagos Islands off the coast of Ecuador. One of the nice things about this was that the islands were in the same time zone, so we didn't have any jet lag. We saw tons of amazing animals, beautiful views, and really just had a great time. There are too many photos to share, but Suthee made this awesome video that sums up the whole trip pretty nicely. 

on the plane and ready to start this honeymoon!

 Since getting back we've been to a few football games and a wedding, but this entry is long enough so we'll update you on all of that later :)
