Congratulations, Jaymi and Leigh!
Here I am with the beautiful bride! It was such an amazing wedding. I loved it; and I only choked up once. :)
Me and the little flower girl, Mackenzie. She was a sweetheart.
My incredible friend, Jaymi. Congratulations, Jaymi and Leigh! You guys are going to do great.
And here are the promised pictures of Tobin's finished product: our re-upholstered sofa!
Isn't he amazing? Here we are trying it out.

Blue Angels
This weekend, Tobin's parents came down to visit us. It was a great weekend. Saturday, we planned on going to the beach to watch the Blue Angles fly. The weather had other plans, however. We spent a couple of hours in traffic getting onto the beach, only to have rain start pouring down and to hear that the show was being delayed. We drove around the island a bit, and saw the alien house; then we heard the show was being canceled. By that time, we were in another traffic jam for another couple of hours. Haha, we finally got home and got dried off; the next day, we found out the show was rescheduled for that day. We headed to the beach again (no traffic this time), and spent a few hours out in the sun before the show began. We were relatively unburnt, too! Amazing. The show was awesome. Below is a video of the pre-Angels planes flying in formation. Above is Fat Albert, a troop transport.
The best part of the show was undoubtedly the Angels, however. They were so fast and loud! They scared the crowd a couple of times, coming out of nowhere and zooming over our heads. They also flew in formation, only 18 inches away from each other, right past us. It was incredible!
Riley came down as well, Bill and Stacie's dog. Just made me want a dog of my own even more! The weekend turned out very well. Thanks for coming to visit, Mike and Jacque! And since we traded cars with them, we'll have to see them again sometime soon. It's so nice to have the house full of people. We won't know what to do next weekend with no one here to see us! :)
Work is going very well for me, and Tobin is busy at the house. We are both healthy and having a blast in our new home. We're finally getting settled, too. The next post, maybe I'll have pictures to show of our "new" furniture! Later.

Moving Truck
Speaking of which, we had a wonderful time when my parents and little siblings came to visit. Thanks for coming and breaking in the guest bedroom! We loved having you. I can't wait for our next group this weekend. Tobin's parents are coming down...and I think Riley's coming too (a black lab and something else mix, for those who don't know).
I'll try to post pictures sometime soon once we get all of our things settled and arranged. :) I'm very excited!
Luke....you'd be proud, I'm learning a bunch of geeky computer-technical stuff at work that I never knew. Yikes, it's complicated! But I'm learning. Maybe one day I'll catch up to you...
Oh yeah, and at work, my official title is Manufacturing Engineer. I'm also the Vision System Specialist...which is kind of funny since I don't know much of anything about it yet. But someday I will!
Tobin is doing really well. He is taking on a re-upholstering job with our couch and sofa to make them pretty. That and getting our things arranged will help keep him busy on the days when I'm gone all day at work.
That's all for now! Come see us.
