Life Continues
Today we return to "normal" life. We both have work, and have to put our feet back on the ground after all of the fun and insanity of the last week or so. We've spent a lot of money the last week and a half, between the wedding's last-minute expenses, celebration and such. Now, we're talking marital budget, and how to save for a couple of things. (Like, a new computer, and a car to replace the clunker Pipes has been driving since we started dating) Things are settling down, for the most part. I'm going to try to both read and post more often.
Lost in Space
We stayed at the Anniversay Inn, in Logan, Sunday night. Pipes chose the "Lost in Space" room, in which the bathroom is a launch-capsule (or an airlock?), the ceiling has glowing stars and planets, and such. It could have been subtitled the "1981 Retro" room too, from some of the decorations, heh. It had one of those mirrors with the little lights going off into infinity? Yeah, I want one of those now. We liked the place so much, we think we're going to be going back a few more times. Logan is just enough out of the way that you can feel disconnected from the rest of your life, but it's also close enough that we don't have to worry about burning up too much gas, or about being too far away if anything should come up.
Confounding the Missionaries
The LDS Missionaries came by a couple of nights ago, responding to an inquiry I dropped into the LDS church's website a week earlier. We've made an appointment to talk this coming Monday. We were having a pretty good conversation when Pipes walked outside, and got some wide smiles. It's become a point of amusement for us when people do the triple-glance between her and myself, seeing us together. ;-) I wonder if either of them -- for the briefest moment -- thought this might be one of those "missionary opportunities", where one meets a beautiful daughter on one's mission and converts her? (Or some other missionary fantasy?) I introduced her as my wife, and got a little bit of initial confusion, but they recovered well. I expected this. We'll see how things go, come Monday, heh. I think it'll help for them to see us in a domestic situation. Pipes and I just... fit.
I'll try to get and show some photos with you guys soon. =)
