Christa and I would both like to take this opportunity to thank our photographer Chris Trafford and Bella Pictures for hooking us up with him. All of his photography turned out truly amazing, and everyone (not just us!) commented on how great he was to work with. Chris went the extra mile for us, staying nearly 2 hours after his time was up. We would HIGHLY recommend him to ANYONE interested in a journalistic style for their wedding photos.

So Chris, I hope google indexes this site and puts this review up for you soon!

New gallery, more photos

I installed some new software to enhance the gallery. Soon you will be able to add pictures to your “shopping cart” and “check out” by downloading all your selected photos in one batch. I’ve also added all the photos I have so far from everyone.

We’re still waiting on the professional pictures, and on people to give me their digital files so I don’t have to download them all individually from their facebook/myspace pages.

So please, IF YOU HAVE PICTURES FROM THE WEDDING/RECEPTION WE DON’T HAVE PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP SO I CAN GET THEM FROM YOU.

Give me your photos

I’ve uploaded all the photos that I’ve gotten so far from the wedding, as well as the photos we took on our honeymoon.

I have seen many photos posted on some of the social networking sites like facebook & myspace, so I’ll try to grab some of those and add them here so there is one central location for everyone to view them. If you want to help me out by sending me all of the photos YOU took, please give me a call or drop me an email so we can work something out.

We’re still waiting on the photos from the photographer so hang tight…

The Cabbage Diet Recap

I stopped the live updates from the Cabbage Diet Day 2 because a) it was all starting to sound the same, and b) I had a near death experience from the lack of food. I cracked on the 1st full day and ate a salad WITH DRESSSING!

Cabbage Diet

Day 3 dawned full of the prospect of milk & bananas all day, plus the super extra tasty awesome cabbage soup I made. Hell yeah! I cracked by noon and had a Panera sandwich. When I got home at 7pm, Christa was also done with the whole thing. So what would any diet-crazed half-starved human being do? We had Taco Bell.

How do you spell Cabbage Diet?
S-P-E-C-T-A-C-U-L-A-R-F-A-I-L-U-R-E

Christa said she lost 3 pounds by Thursday. I managed to gain 1.
Never again.

Cabbage Diet Day 2

Live updates from cabbage diet day 2 – fruits, veggies & cabbage soup only…

8:04am
Just got to work. I’m starving, and I haven’t had a coffee. No one better talk to me or I’ll bite their head off. Trying to stave off hunger pains by eating celery stalks. Who eats celery for breakfast?!

8:53am
I’m still hungry. The celery lasted 20 minutes. How are vegetarians not hungry all the time!!!?

9:21am
Good thing I’m at work. My bowels are very upset with me right now. At least my colon already feels cleaner… Snacking on some grapes now.

10:37am
Some serious mind over matter shit needs to start happening soon. I’ve never been this hungry in my life. I ate all of my celery sticks, baby carrots, and grapes that I brought for breakfast. I’ve drank my entire 1 liter of water.
<sarcasm>I can’t wait for lunch when I can eat cabbage soup.</sarcasm>

1:18pm
The soup is good. It filled me up decently, but I am having this overwhelming urge to raid the vending machine at work. Even the unidentifiable pastry looking green “Lucky Puffs” are looking delicious.

1:44pm
Hungry again. I sent Christa an email explaining how I feel like a starving kid from a third world nation. She was not amused.

3:32pm
There is an eerie calm in my belly right now. I just ate an apple and finished off my 2nd liter of water today. Round 2 of cabbage soup starts once I get home, but for now I’m out of food.

Cabbage ain’t just for the kraut

Let me just preface this by saying, I like food. I like to eat, and I like to eat food.

That’s why when I was notified today that I would be taking part in the 7 day cabbage soup diet with Christa, I was less than amused. As a matter of fact, I was a little ticked off.

But, as we all learn sooner or later, marriage is all about compromise. That’s why I’m going to be taking part in the new and improved condensed version of the cabbage diet (since we only have 5 days to do it to “prepare” for the wedding).

We skipped right to day 2 and had a nice salad & baked potato for dinner tonight. I’m in the process of making the soup right now to have over the next few days, and so far I’m pleasantly surprised. I’ve added some extra special seasoning and the soup smells downright good now, though I’m fearing what an update 2 days from now might say.

Stay tuned…

Matt tastes like cake…

Well this past Saturday was the first of two bridal showers. To my delight I had the opportunity to eat matt’s face. His crafty sister had managed to find some embarrassing third and fourth grade photos of Matt and I to have imaged onto the cake. Mmmmm……. vanilla.
