#1 Wife in the World

Can I pick 'em or what?

Appropriate answer is HELL YES!!!

Max the VOLE killer

Just the other day - 15 May or so... I found two voles in the driveway.
Max was nearby and quick to let me know that HE indeed killed them and laid them on the driveway for inspection.
It was cool to see him earning his keep - but I just wonder how on earth he caught them.

Kayaking on Memorial Day

Heather had to work on Memorial Day. It's a good thing we went for a long motorcycle ride yesterday. I certainly didn't want to just sit around the house - so I grabbed my kayak and headed out to Bennet's Creek. There was some wind that made the going tough, but it was a great arm workout.
I got REALLY close to this crane before it flew off - and I fumbled for the camera to get this quick shot.

Mother's Day Flower

I forgot to post this back on Mother's Day.
This is Heather's FIRST Mother's Day flower - and JACK gave it to her!
We went to pick them up in Norfolk (that's where my X lives)... Jack ran over to me and had this flower in his hand and said, 'Dad, I'm going to give this to Heather!' and I encouraged him and sent him on his way... He ran right over and gave it her.
It was sweet.
What a great kid.
Heather is going to be the world's greatest step-MOM!

Banana Sticker

The other day - April 26th or so - I picked up a banana from out of the fruit dish and read the little sticker as I peeled the banana. It read 'Place sticker on forehead - SMILE'. So I did. It made great breakfast conversation for all who had arrived for our wedding.

Gorilla Pod

If you take a lot of pictures and want to be in some of them.. this little item is a MUST. We picked this little Gorilla Pod up just prior to our HUNNYMOON which put us both in TONS of the amazing shots we took.
Here it is hanging in a tree - you can attach it to anything it can 'grab' and is easy to adjust level on any surface/rock/wall/etc.

I'm MARRIED!!!

I asked Heather to marry me and OF COURSE she said YES... I guess she felt sorry for me! =)

We took a week and a half off for WEDDING and HUNNYMOON.
The trip started with a beautiful drive to Nashville TN.
God showed us a fantastic sunset that made Heather cry.
(Gawd she is awesome).

While the girls had a wedding shower, us guys went SAILING!


The wedding was in Nashville in her parents backyard, right on the lake. OUTDOOR weddings are scary due to weather complications.. and this was NO exception. It POURED the evening before (lightning/thunder) but began to clear up Saturday morning - and Praise God, the sun broke thru for 4 hours. Perfect timing. And rained later after the wedding!!!
My mom and dad came and so did my bestest big sister in the whole wide world.





And Jonathan was my best man! What a great lifelong friend! I should try to keep in touch more!




We flew to Maine and got a bed-n-breakfast in Bar Harbor - the locals call BaHaba.
It was a beautiful HUNNYMOON in Acadia National Park. Here are a few coolo shots.

















Ain't it great to be married to your best friend?!!!


Thank you Lord - we ask for your continued protection and blessing on this family.
Amen
