Keith and Lacey

We already adopted some naughty little kittens!  Two brothers, both black, 2 months old, rescued from the Humane Society.  We named them Tex and Washington!  Tex is all black with a touch of smoke on his chest and Washington is black with white paws, white chest hairs, and long white whiskers.

They’re already litter-trained, which is totally sweet, and so far they haven’t even caused too much trouble!  They adapted to our house almost instantly, a little too much of course so we had to plug up a few holes.  Behind the oven, behind the piano.  We’re trying to teach them to stay off the table tops.  They love their little toys we got them, Washington especially loves this big furry thing on a stick, he acts like he’s captured a big bird and runs around with all the feathers sticking out all over.  Haha.  They are very entertaining to watch them pounce on each other and do all the things that naughty kittens do.

We went to Maui for our honeymoon and had a perfect second week of marriage.

The photos are here.

After our single, separated lives peaked at the wedding, we loaded up Lacey’s life and our wedding gifts into a little 10-foot U-Haul and headed off to Washington.  We took three days to drive the two thousand mile journey through Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, and Washington.  Of course there was no cd player so it was country music on the radio all the way good thing I’ve come around to country music.

Once we got home, we had a couple days to rest up and pack for our honeymoon.  We opened a bunch of sweet wedding gifts, unloaded the U-Haul, received our marriage license, and even organized everything in the house!

A few weeks before the wedding I remembered that our flight to Maui was from Seattle, not Spokane, so I hastily searched for cheap flights to Seattle, but of course cheap didn’t work out.. so we decided to add another leg to our driving journey.  (Is leg supposed to make sense?  I think of a leg extending from a hub, not from an endpoint.  Shane, help me out with this one).  So, exactly a week after our wedding, we jumped in the car (at least not the U-Haul anymore) and drove to Seattle, while intensely listening to a book-on-tape called The Honeymoon by James Patterson.

We’re finally married after our year-long courtship of talking for hours and hours on the phone, flying back and forth between Texas and Washington, and patiently enduring all the time apart.

The wedding was beautiful!  I don’t have any real wedding photos yet.. but I have a few from the rehearsal that Marshall took.  I opened a Flickr account hoping it might be faster so from now my photos will be there.

The best part of the wedding, besides the whole getting married part, was having all our family and friends there with us.  Thanks to everyone for coming and for all your help and for enjoying it!  (Assuming you did we’ve heard good reviews though).

I worked from home this week so we’ve been together non-stop now for almost three weeks.  It’s going to be hard to leave her next week to go in to the office.  I love being with Lacey, it’s my favorite thing.
