Hello Everyone. You may have come to this blog thinking that your friend and mine will have posted this. You're wrong! Ashley has asked me to update this for the last month or so and I finally cannot stand it anymore. I am actually afraid to write this knowing that it may be the first of many updates that I may be asked to do but I feel I must update.
Here is the highlight reel.
Ashley and I are married. Weddings are such a funny thing. One day costs much stress and money but it is an important day. The day started off with sun in the east. We had been fretting about a sixty percent chance of showers which was supposed to increase in the afternoon. Still we had to hope. To make a long story short, it didn't rain... it poured and it didn't stop until after the ceremony and the reception.
Luckily for us we had chosen the location because of the well known ability the west coast has to rain no matter what the season. We were also fortunate to have taken our pictures in the morning which turned out to be perfect conditions for wedding pictures.
The wedding ceremony was wonderful. It was such a great experience to have so many of our friends and family together in one place, I wish we could have had a longer time to celebrate with them. That's really the only regret, not enough time.
Here are some quick honeymoon highlights, hopefully Ash will put up some pictures on here soon.
-We stayed for 2 nights at the Fairmont Hotel in Seattle which was an amazing gift from a friend. It was perfect for how exhausted we were, we didn't really go anywhere or do anything, we just rested. It was wonderful.
-Next we drove down to Florence, Oregon. We camped out at J.M. Honeyman State park in the nation dunes park. We visited some cute little towns, the sea lion caves, and the sand dunes of Oregon. Florence is the town where they blew up the whale to remove it from the beach but it ended up raining molten whale blubber for like an 1/4 mile radius or something. Check it out on youtube here

-We drove up from Florence to Astoria, Oregon and we must have visited every single historical sight and viewpoint on the map. It was tiring but I'm glad that we did it.
-We stayed in a bed and breakfast in Astoria which was my favorite part of the trip. We happened to be right down the street from the Goonies house and right down the other way from the school that Kindergarten cop was filmed at. We also drove over the bridge that was used in Short Circuit. I was in movie heaven as these were all movies I enjoyed growing up.
-We went to see a civil war reenactment which was really fun to see and hear about.
We are now living in Kelowna, BC. Ashley is doing her second year of nursing and I am keeping house while I apply for permanent residence status. I am looking for work in churches where I can actually get a work visa but it doesn't look so good on that end of things either.
That's all for now. Maybe you'll hear from Ashley later.
Ta ta.
