So, it’s been quite some time since a post eh? I’d like to start posting once a week as I’ve been frequently surprised by people saying that they still check my unkempt blog in hopes of an update.
Sitting here at the dining room table with a large warm and grey pussy cat happily purring on my lap, I expect that todays ramblings will serve the purpose of mentioning a couple big things that have happened somewhat recently.
First, of course is that I’m now a married man and loving it.
The ceremony and reception took place this year on one of the few beautiful days of this summer. Saturday, June 14th to be precise. The ceremony itself was short, sweet, and to the point. Everyone conglomerated, we all walked up the aisle, two of Casey’s brothers and Josh Steadman said little pieces, Uncle Lee married us, and we walked back down the aisle.

All right!
Isaac flew up from Ouzinkie with his mom so he could be the ring-bearer. It was pretty cool.

The reception took place afterward not too far from the Ceremony’s location on Wedgewood grounds by the Bird Observatory and Noyes Slough over in the Wedgewood’s dining facilities. Drinks and light hors d’vours were served while wedding party photos were taken. The wedding party was introduced later, and tasty delectables were available for dinner. Prime rib or chicken picatta were the main entrees. MM MM good!! After that there were toasts, the obligatory dances, the bouquette and garter, and um, DANCING! It was hailed the best wedding EVER! By everyone. I swear! Regardless a good time was had by all.
So now we’re married and we’re happy. I was surprised to find that there is something different. Something better. Yay marriage!
So anyway…
I’ve lost 30 pounds over the last year. I’ve been pretty successful with the online Weight Watchers program. I originally joined just to be supportive of Casey, but it’s turned into a real success for me too!
Isaac is with us for the school year which started mid year last year. It has been working out very well. He’s doing well in school and really seems to be enjoying it. He’s also just starting hockey. Man does this kid love to play hockey. He’s always stoked to be on the ice, and always wants to go back on! But holy cow, I didn’t know kids could sweat so much! When he gets off the ice and takes his helmet off, it’s like he’s been in a shower. I’m not exaggerating!! Its unbelievable. All that time Casey was telling me that we were going to have to wash his stuff after every practice and how much sweat was coming our way didn’t sink in until the first time he took that helmet off after tryouts. Good knight! Piano lessons are starting back up for him this coming Thursday. He seems ready to tackle that also. He’s been a better practicer than I was when I was in lessons. He loves to learn. It’s actually very inspiring and makes my heart swell. Oh God, I am such a freakin’ Dad!
Anyhow, that’ll be the post for today. Maybe next time, I’ll be on the computer that has some hockey photos.
Cheers!
