The Honeymoon Continues

I can't get over how wonderful the first week of marriage to my beautiful bride, Mary, has been.

Today she made me pancakes with a heart.

I Love You, Mary!


PS: I'm sure this newlywed stuff sounds corny, but I'm liking it!

The Perfect Honeymoon

A week ago today I married my Sweetheart, my Best Friend, my One True Love...this has been the happiest week of my life. Our wonderful families arranged a surprise honeymoon for us on Catalina Island where Scott and I enjoyed the peacefulness of beautiful Avalon Bay. We stayed at the Hotel Vista Del Mar in an incredible ocean front suite on the third floor. We enjoyed the sunrise every morning as we sipped our coffee from the balcony overlooking the bay. Every evening we relaxed in the moonlight and stared up at a sky full of stars as we listened to the peaceful sound of waves rolling up the sand on the beach. A fireplace and two person jacuzzi tub in our room topped it off!!! It was hard to leave the room, but there was so much to enjoy on the island. The weather was sunny and warm as we toured the Casino museum, hiked to the botanical garden and Wrigley Memorial, window shopped up and down the quaint streets, and enjoyed great food highlighted by a delicious dinner at the Catalina Country Club. WOW! Truly the Perfect Honeymoon!!! Endless thank you's to our family members who made this possible. We love you all so much.

Pops and Mary

After a very, very long wait, Dad and Mary
finally met each other yesterday!


I know they both longed for that moment,
and it was wonderful to see them together.
