We've Been Busy, Give Us A Break

Well, our wedding in Paducah was nothing short of spectacular. The rehearsal dinner and fireworks lived up to their billing (with the exception of two bridesmaids falling down the stairs), the ceremony was beautiful , and the reception was a lot of fun (for those who left before the Dippin' Dots, you truly missed out). We both want to thank everyone who was involved in the ceremony, including, in no particular order: the bridesmaids (Lauren (MOH), Elizabeth, Aimee, Heather, and Pamela) and groomsmen (Benjamin (Best Man), Geoffrey, Christopher, Josh, and Tim), the junior groomsmen (Alex and Garrett), the ushers (Ryan, Michael, Michael, Corey, and Kyle), the flower girls (Micah and Madison) and ringbearer (Andrea), Kevin Medlin and Jeff Stewart (our minister tandem), Annie (the reader), Mike Baker and Smith Crafton (the musicians), Lana Suiter (aunt and wedding coordinator extraordinaire), Reagan and Jessica Carfield (our greeters), our program attendants (Paige, Kolby, and Taylor), all of our families, especially our parents, and everyone who attended. Thank you for helping make this the best wedding EVER!

We got back to DC on Monday morning and ran some errands during the day. Sarah got her hair cut. We may post pictures later, but Sarah doesn't want to spoil the surprise for her friends who are visiting in a couple of weeks. I think it looks great. She likes to say that it's perfect newlywed hair (I'll excuse you while you gag yourself).

We returned to work Tuesday morning, and it was sort of a let down, but not too bad. I had enough to keep me busy and Sarah's office is gearing up for the NOW conference, which is taking place this weekend in Arlington.

Today at work we had the summer golf outing, which was a lot of fun despite the fact that nothing I hit went straight and I lost about 8 balls in ten holes before it started pouring rain and we had to quit. I am bad at golf...there, I said it.

Well, that's the update. We'll try to be a little more regular about this blog thing, but no guarantees. Also, look for updates to sarahandnicholas.com
