So me and my gorgeous wife are going to travel back to California for Christmas and my sister's wedding (she gets married on the 22nd). I'm really looking forward to seeing my family again and hanging out with some friends while I'm out there!
As I was listening to the song "There's No Place Like Home for the Holidays" the place that came up in my mind as "home" wasn't Lancaster. It wasn't Chicago, either. It was with Kathy. Kathy's my family now, Kathy's where I go when I need to be comforted, Kathy's where I turn to when I'm need to be picked up (love you baby!).
Me and Kath have our tree up, it's looking great. Kathy decorated it (and the rest of the house), everything's so cheery! :)
That's all for now!

Perfect Wedding
So I got married two weeks ago today on November 3rd, 2006. It was a beautiful day on the west coast, a dry 75 degrees or so. I had a hard time getting dressed for the day, I was incredibly nervous! The day didn't start smooth, my step-brother was late and my mother-in-law's car broke down at her son's house so we had to take a slight detour to pick them up. Nothing could get in the way of my joy though, I was overwhelmingly joyous and so excited for the day's events!
After an eventful drive complete with walkie-talkie conversations, racing Ferraris (eight of them!) and an animated little sister telling me about her upcoming wedding day, we arrived in Las Vegas around 2:45 in the afternoon. Me and Kathy raced into the Marriage Bureau and turned in our already filled-out paperwork (cheers for an organized bride) and dashed back out to the cars waiting for us. We did our best but we couldn't quite make it to the church on time, we rolled in about a half-hour late. Again, nothing could keep me from feeling an overwhelming joy, I was so happy this was happening and was really excited about the days, weeks and years to come - I wasn't going to let a little tardiness ruin my day!
Everyone made their way into the church and we all took our places, I stood in the front of the sanctuary with our Pastor and waited for my bride to enter the church. The Wedding March began and the doors flung open, and in walked the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. Tears started streaming down my face (my eyes are getting misty as I write this) and Kathy walked up next to me and grabbed my hand as the Pastor instructed. The tears wouldn't stop flowing for me, my vows ended up to be a blubbering version of the original, and Kathy could barely get her vows out she was crying so hard. I didn't even notice my step-dad recording or the flashing of the cameras, my eyes were locked on my princess. The Pastor did a great job of incorporating our faith into the ceremony and he gave a very brief sermon then pronounced us husband and wife! We left the church and made our way (ever so slowly) to our restaurant of choice and then quickly went back to California. I won't tell you what happened next. ;)
So the wedding was perfect, the bride was beautiful and the groom was a blubbering fool. But isn't that what it's all about?
