Just finished watching: Entourage-Season 2 
Currently Watching: Entourage-Season 3 Pt. 1 
First of all, Abbie wrote up some excellent summaries on our wedding blog for both the wedding and reception that are chock full of pictures. You should totally check it out. I can’t really do it much more justice.
As for my own thoughts, the day went about as good as one could hope. I give Abbie almost all of the credit. She designed and planned almost all of it and anything creative like the decorations were all her. She definitely got the wedding she wanted and most certainly deserved which made me happy.
Now that we’ve had our own wedding I have a few suggestions for anyone putting together a wedding:
1. have the women get ready at the church so they can be there to make sure anything last minute goes well (us guys were there instead and we got a little lost on some details like who got what flowers).
2. designate an M.C. for your reception that you know personally. We left it to our DJ and we really didn’t go over it enough with him and he struggled a little to improvise/follow the plan we wrote out.
3. if you are having a wedding where over half your guests have to travel more than an hour, go ahead and assume 10-15 people below your rsvps. we had enough food leftover to just about have another reception. lol not really but it was a lot.
really though nothing regretable happened at all, it all went very smoothly and we thank everyone for coming.
As Abbie wrote, our honeymoon did get cut short no thanks to my erratic work situation. We are hoping to put something together by next summer to make up for it, something that will definitely include a trip to the beach, which is what we missed out on. it still bugs me a lot that it didn’t work out.
Abbie and I are currently trying to fill our our registry with things we need from the giftcards and cash we got. not the easiest process…our biggest problem is finding room for everything as we don’t have the biggest house. that’s our other project, we are still unpacking from our move-in and trying to decorate and find places for our combined stuff. Hopefully by the end of the month we’ll be all ready to have guests!
I’m ready for some football….
Favorite days of the year
currently watching: Lost-Season 1
one thing i like to do is rank things and then pretend people care about it.
there are a number of yearly events i look forward to and with a few of them coming up i thought i’d list em.
1. 4th of July
ever since i was like 5 years old i’ve been buying and setting off fireworks in topeka with my family. i enjoy every aspect of fireworks, from the shopping to the testing of them to the somewhat dangerous things we do with them, to everyone else enjoying what i set off. plus i like the big displays too. and for the past 15 years or so 4th of july weekend also includes a lot of golf which i suck at but for this one weekend its pretty fun.
2. The first day of march madness
the best sporting day of the year. 16 games, 4 at a time, from morning till night. all the games meaningful, many of them with amazing endings. sure there is a second day of this on friday, but that first thursday is what we all look forward to.
3. fantasy football draft day (tomorrow!)
for a good 10 years now my friends and i have been in a fantasy league that we run. there is research that goes into the draft, plus the mock drafts, then finally the day. 10-12 people in a room, beer, food, and tons of trash talk on all the picks. this is the start of football season.
4. the first college football weekend/KSU football home game (a week from saturday!)
football is my favorite sport, and when i can combine it with my alma mater, family, friends, and some gambling its even better. the anticipation for the football season to begin, especially college, is off the charts. literally i start counting the days shortly after the 4th of july (doesnt help that we have a sucktastic baseball team whose season ends sometime in may).
