Its true! We're married. And the wedding week was a sensational recipe for exhaustion. We had so many friends and family in town to visit with; there was never a dull moment! Brittany, a mutual best friend of both Luke and I, and also the officiant at our wedding, flew in from Massachusetts especially for us. While here she waited for her luggage to arrive, made several late night trips to the store for essentials, got her "crook nook" rook pierced and did a fantabulous job making sure our special day was spectacular and smooth. We are forever grateful for her calming presence! Also in the line up of helpers was Ann, Crystal, and my sister, Alexis. We couldn't have done it with out you. Another special Eastern guest was Julie Z and her boyfriend Matt! They turned every party into a PAR-TAAAAAY!

There aren't any pictures with this post. If you haven't had your fill already, check out any of my friends' facebook albums. I promise to put the official ones on here once I have them in my own sweaty palms.

I know we've neglected our readers, please don't judge us too harshly. We've been too awfully busy to post regularly. Rest assured, yet again, that when we get a chance we will post like crazy, pictures and all. We have a trip to the zoo, a 4th Birthday, and a wedding to share. Woo hoo. Whewww. Wiping of the brow.

Just the like the Wizard of Oz, our trip was a journey full of ups and downs, including but not limited to our run in with the TSA, wake boarding attempts, trampoline time and a drum session, a bridal shower, (tiara included) ping pong, colder than cold Spokane nights in a camper, and a loss of all running water for a night and half a day. Woot! Three cheers for vacations from vacations! Hopefully down this yellow brick road there will be pictures to post from other sources because we forgot our memory card. :(

So this is it. Luke is about to meet the entire Staeb family at a reunion in Spokane. I've been looking forward to this for months and uber glad Luke has what it takes to come with me. Wish us luck. We'll have lots to share when we return, if we return that is.

I wanted something spectacular to report here. I wanted some event that would shake all my reader's boots. So I waited and waited for that spectacular boot shaking...and then I waited some more. Instead I have mildly amusing and informative report to give about the last month or so of the Faeb household.

1) Luke finished designing the invitations and we got a real steal when we had them printed at Kinko's. Here's a shout out to Tarrah's manager! She's great. Promptly following that escapade that really wasn't much of an escapade because they made it so easy for us, we celebrated at one of our habitual eateries, Raydean's. Shout out to the Turkey Melt and the Monte Cristo with the strawberry sauce! You never let us down.

2) I signed up for a six week ballet class for beginners on Monday evenings in July and August! Great work out and me time as the wedding approaches.

3) My girls, Ann and Caitlin, made a visit to Idaho and it was an extremely rejuvenating weekend full of butt gusting laughter, sharing time in our bathing suits basking pool side, and great food.

4) I realized I'm not ready to spend $70 on two cosmetic items. Buyer's remorse for sure. So I took them back and found the less expensive versions and I'm so happy with them.

5) Noah is showing signs of severe boredom. I can't wait for him to experience preschool this fall.

6) I'm growing more and more excited for the Staeb Family Reunion in Spokane. Less than 9 days!!!

7) The fun stuff of the wedding planning for me is definitely the DIY and getting things done and checked off my list. Current projects lined up are bouquets, bridal jewelry, table decorations, music equipment, and food reservations. Yay!

Well thats pretty much it. If I remember anything else exciting I'll be sure to post. Keep your eyes open for boots that wiggle with spectacular force.
