Okay, sorry we haven't updated our blog in a month, but our lives have been pretty boring. We only got married and went on a honeymoon.

Actually, our wedding was probably the best day of our lives, and I've never been happier than I was on that day. When Ann and I were holding hands on the altar I could truly feel our hearts beating as one and I knew that our life together would bring us lots of happiness. If you are planning a wedding, all of the headaches and discussions will definitely pay off in the end. And I will definitely have a much greater appreciation for other weddings after living through almost two years of planning our own. As soon as I get on the ball, I will scan in more pictures. For now you'll have to be happy with one of our favorite pictures in the bunch.

While I am handing out unsolicited advice/wisdom, everyone who is looking for a place to go in the Caribbean should go to St. John. It is an amazingly beautiful place and two thirds of the island is completely undeveloped in the Virgin Islands National Park. The year-round population is only 5000 - compare that to neighboring St. Thomas at 50,000 - which would you choose? As you can probably imagine, the beaches weren't too crowded. The National Park was great - there was a 1 mile trail that left right from town past some creepy cacti to a secluded beach at which Ann and I made up 50% of the sunbathers. On our way back we set the camera timer and took our picture at the overlook above Cruz Bay. As you can see from the picture, we were hot, sweaty and in love - which makes for a great honeymoon!

So we get home from Logan Airport on August 19th and find this in our e-mail boxes! The hiatus is over! And I just found out yesterday that my mail order was fufilled for the New Years Eve show! Sure, we are in section 418 (which stands for the approximate number of feet above the stage we are), but as I said to Ann, we're in the building! Everything's coming up Millhouse!

And we shouldn't forget to mention Ann's new job as a first grade reading specialist at the Brackett School. It's only a ten minute walk from our house and she'sloving it. That's all for now...more later.
