Default My life is over

Well, my present life as I know it is. Last weekend I got married, and even in a church! We are now in Kauai for our honeymoon. I just shut the shop down for the week. It sure is nice to get away from it all, time just went by so fast as tomorrow evening we will begin our journey home again and back to the grind come tuesday morning.

Congrats again. Thanks for the invite to the wedding. Ava looked very nice. You looked a little bored most of the time but I'm sure it is well worth it.

You know how guys are with this wedding stuff. It was her day and I wanted it to be one she remembered. I'm not too good with dealing with all the attention and relatives I had to meet and be polite to. And of course having to do so with all their usual Asian customs as well, being the proud American I am. All in all it went well, and even the wedding went off without a hitch with the exception of one missing bridesmaid that really wasn't missed at all. We just got back from our honeymoon in Hawaii, and now its back to work and reality of having to pay all the bills
