Wedding

Well ladies, I'm off the market! That's right. Sorry. The smartest, most wonderful woman in the world snagged me up. I'm cozily caught in her juicy web of lovins and family. And I'm blown away at how I became the luckiest guy on earth?

We had an adorable wedding in an old chapel on the shore. The weather was perfect. The bride was beautiful. Our best friends and family witnessed. Bill sang a song he wrote. We said "we do", and we do.

Afterwards it seems the whole town came to the Ore House for a huge party. I must admit, some of you I don't think I invited. But that's what happens in Juneau. I loved seeing each and every one of you. We had tons of great local food, fish, and spirits. The music was great, and the champagne was perfect. Thanks to everyone who as a community made our reception so awesome.

I only wish I'd had more time to talk with friends and family who came in from out of town. The whole event was such a fun whirlwind!

Then Lu an I were off to honeymoon. Vegas, Grand Canyon, Bryce, Zyon, Tahoe, San Francisco... we drove all over the southwest in a zippy rental car. We won at the Venetian and lost at the Bellagio. In the end... even steven!

Announcement.

Love at First Sight

Sierra invited Nate and I to go on a hike to Blue Mussel cabin about a week after we arrived here in Juneau. I was about as green as an Alaskan newcomer could be.

After dinner, we're sitting around the cabin, this girl comes through the door. She'd hiked out, in the dark, alone. "My friend Laura" Sierra says.

I was impressed.

I was also struck by the way the air felt whenever we got close (electricity, for lack of better descriptive ability).

We spent a lot of time together that summer, and ever after.
