For those who haven’t heard, last month was wedding month. I’m declaring July 2008 as the officially month of “I do.” As you likely know, Matt and I were married July 6. We chose this date because it allowed us to take our Hawaiian honeymoon while also celebrating the wedding of Matt’s cousin Alisha to [...]

Our honeymoon was Matt’s first time to Hawaii. Near the top of the “things that we must do” list was go snorkeling. This, however, did not sound like much fun to his new wife. She had flashbacks of snorkeling with her family in the Bahamas. As I recall, my mask let water in, I swallowed [...]

One of my favorite excursions on Maui was ziplining. What is that, you ask? It is you, a harness, a cable and a guide allowing gravity and physics to give you an over-head view of the beauty below. It is commonly done through the trees, but this time it was through a few valleys on [...]

One cool amenity of having your wedding at the Palm Event Center is the ability to have signature drinks at the bar. So, four days before our wedding we decided it might be a good idea to come up with some drinks. The downfall was that we’re not big drinkers, so we had to be [...]

It’s hard to believe that Matt and I will be married in a matter of hours. There is so much going through my mind at this moment that it’s hard to focus on all the packing (and sleeping) that needs to be done. In the two years since college, the time living at home with [...]

We’re in the final tasks on the to-do list! One of them being getting a slideshow together. Who are these cuties? And, because I couldn’t resist, here are a couple favorites from the pile: Why is Matt so grumpy? Apparently he caught all the fish, but his brother (and best man!) James got to pretend [...]

Three months from yesterday, Matt and I put an offer on a house. In any other housing market, that statement would mean that the paint is dry, our things are moved in and waiting for both of us to live there. It would likely be the case if the house weren’t a short sale. Instead, with [...]

For those who may not know, Matt and I fell in love while throwing a Frisbee. No, they are not just for dogs and stoners. We played with Las Positas College in Livermore, with Matt serving as captain four of his five years there. He now captains a men’s club team, YR (which stands for [...]

So most of you probably know, but some of you may not, that I used to DJ back in high school and college (Dj Gyro if you were wondering). I even DJed in a band that played shows from Washington to Tennessee. I spent a lot of time at it, but had to give it [...]

Today is not only the one-month mark until we get married, but it also is the day that we were licensed to wed! We woke up early and maneuvered our way through the Lake Merritt area, got dizzy in a loopty loop parking garage and were officially approved by the County of Alameda. Woo hoo! [...]
