How can it be December already?

Once again, I've failed to update for almost a month. This last year, it's been hard to find the time to babble much.

( So, here's the good, the bad, and the somewhat surreal: )

( Life updates )

( Oh what a circus, oh what a show )

( Running around to a wedding, fireworks, and a battlefield, and points in between. )

( In which Steph goes to a wedding, and eventually goes home. )

( Pictures, the reception, and the day that did not end )

( Starting bright and early and going through the ceremony )

( The pressure mounts )

( First day of intensive preparations )

Thank goodness for a three-day weekend. No matter how long a break is, though, it's never quite long enough.

( Saturday: )
