Don't look now, but I'm pretty sure life is just as chaotic post wedding glory. The school year for Luke has begun with a bang! Full time student, full time accounts payable clerk, fully time dad and new husband with a T.A. position on the side. I am back in the saddle as full time Danimum. Sure my title seems a lot simpler, but don't count me out of the madness and mayhem. Noah is attempting to grow up with out growing up and Madeline is enjoying the terror of being two. More to come at a later date...

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.
