It’s taking me a while to get back into the swing of real life. Last week was a bit of a shock. Not that my life is overly demanding but making the switch from carefree drifting through the days to meeting deadlines and keeping a schedule was not a lot of fun. To add to that Erika and I both got sick so I was trying to make the switch with a muddled brain, filled with nightquil and or dayquil. This week was much easier but last night I came down with an ear infection so now I feel like I have a watermelon slowly growing bigger and bigger in my left ear. But oh well work to be done. Presently I am simultaneously trying to remember where we left off in confirmation, figure out the service for palm Sunday, organize plans for the Seder supper next Thursday and remember just who it was I was supposed to meet for coffee this afternoon. I think It may be time to break out the old neglected day timer and prioritize my time a little before I go insane.
Also we got our pictures from the photographer, in her words “Erika looks smokin’ hot!” I of course heartily agree. This is one of my favorites. But for those of you who do not check Erika’s blog we also have a flicker account. Anyway kids, we’ll catch ya latter.

Out of Hibernation

So my uncle is a bit of an anti social recluse. He has always been kinda stand-offish. But recent years it has progressed to full blown hermitisim. He didn’t even com to our weddings (though he may have been there for Dave and jen’s ceremony, I forget). Anyway the reason I am writing this is because I remember my mom saying the longer you stay away the harder it is to come out. Like if he finally made an appearance everyone would make a big deal about it and that is defiantly not something he would look forward to. Or the longer you are away the better reason you need for coming out or something like that.
Anyway I can now see in a small way what she means, after being away so long from blog world I feel like I need some really fantastic post to come back in with but nothing is coming. I know I just got married which is just awesome but I’m still getting used to it so the proper words just aren’t there.
I still have these “Holy Crap!!!” moments like when I wake up beside Erika in the middle of the night and realize I’m going to be doing that for a really long time. Or when I introduce her to people and say “this is my wife Erika” it starts to hit home a little more. Don’t get me wrong I love it and it is great and I would not want it any other way, there are no second thoughts (too late now even if there were I guess). But How are you supposed to put all those moments and thoughts and feeling into words?
The honeymoon was great but not a lot to say. We went to Fairmont slept in a lot, chilled out a lot ate some really good food. If you ever have a chance to go to Kimberly I would highly recommend it is a pretty cool little German town, with cool restaurants like the Bavarian Schnitzel House.
I don’t even have pictures, they are all on Erika’s camera. Even then we only took a handful. The hot springs were nice but more of just a big outdoor pool than anything really romantic and quaint. Though it was very relaxing which was just what we needed.
Anyway we’re back now so hopefully there will be more and better post’s coming.
Peace kids
