Jenni and Kevin sitting in a tree...
This picture is the current "Picture of the Week" and the intro image for the photographer's website. Lovely, no?
The whole set isn't up yet, but the portfolio pics are up for Jenni's wedding!! Prepare to be amazed!
Have you ever had a weekend that felt a couple weeks long? That's kind of what the wedding. It was just fantastic.
I mean I wasn't Alex the Woman this last week, I was Alex the Maid of Honor and that was a beautiful thing. This really was one of those occasions where everything is just bigger than regular life, where you're compelled to put all those petty and self-centered things we worry (like how ugly my toes are) about on a shelf for a while. I sure do love being Alex the Woman, but I wouldn't trade anything in the world for my chance to get to be with Jenni on this once-in-a-lifetime kind of day.
Joy is a "big" word that I don't use that often, but for this occasion it is perfect.
Needless to say, the day was beautiful, the bride was beautiful, the couple is a beautiful fit.
And now with the rest of life:
varnea is in town and staying with us in the apartment, it's been good times. She's so fun, I can't wait until she's back in Fayetteville for good.
We went to Terra Studios and Bead It with seerofthethread on Monday and that night hit Dickson St. in a scandalous fashion with peggy_the_angel.
Tomorrow I leave for Pennsylvania for a week and a half to run Steve's shop at Pennsic (this ain't you're average vacation). Getting ready to leave has been taking up a lot of my time. I'm a little sad to be away for so long, but it will also be nice to "get away from it all," too.
Lastly, I BOUGHT A LAPTOP!! It's a smaller/cheaper model to serve as kind of a mobile accessory to my totally awesome desktop, but I'm pretty pumped. I've been wanting a wee lap top for a couple years now, so I could do website-type stuff on the go. It has an AMD type processor like my desktop (okay, so my baby is Athalon and the laptop is Semperon)...maybe I'll have to spray paint it silver and add blue lights so they match. Unfortunately it's due in on Friday, the day after I leave, so I won't get to play with it just yet.
