Thought Box

As everyone is likely aware, I am no longer a single man…

I want to introduce my wonderful wife, Hayley! We’ve been caught up in a wedding tour (details of which will likely be blogged, I’m sure), and some general “getting used to married life” stuff. It’s been a busy couple of months since the wedding, but we’re starting to finally feel settled in. It’s good to have a companion.

I’ve imported most of the blog posts from the wedding website, so you may want to filter through the archives of the last 8 months to see what’s there. Hayley wrote at least half of those posts, which will give some of you a better introduction to how awesome she is.

I’ve also added some Facebook “like” buttons… USE THEM!

We hope to do this blogging thing more often. We’re going to still be busy with life, but nowhere near as busy as we’ve been. Expect updates about cycling (we’re buying bikes in the next 2-3 months), rock climbing (apparently I did pretty OK on my first trip), vacation planning, and teaching primary (that’s right, we teach the Sunbeams!). Oh, and maybe I’ll tell you all about how magical Mass Effect 2 was… If you’re lucky!

By the way, if we’re missing you in the Blogroll, let us know!

The sweet girls here in Houston surprised me Friday night with a bridal shower. Jeff was in on it. The plan was that he and I would go on a special date he had been planning for three weeks. He had even put it on the calendar. I was really excited, but then I got caught up at work. Boo. I got home a little late, so Jeff came to hang out with me while I got ready for our date. He kept checking the time, so I was a little worried that I’d miss whatever he had planned for me. Then, he told me he had a surprise for me at his apartment before we left for dinner. I love surprises! :) When I opened Jeff’s door, I heard whispering. Not wanting Jeff to miss whatever was going on, I got him to come in with me. And then the party began!

Christi did such a good job planning the party! There was Wedding Themed Mad Libs, Ask-the-Groom Videos of Jeff (so funny!) and great food. Oh, and check out the gorgeous cake Crystal made!

We had such a great night. Thanks to everyone who came!
