After we got back from our travels, we had just a few weeks to get ready (and get our house ready!) for the wedding. We had a lot of help from friends and family- THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH! Amy finished up my fabulous dress, and Mike’s fancy trousers arrived in the mail. We did all kinds of mowing and earth-moving and landscaping and produced a miraculous transformation in our backyard. There was a flurry of spackling and painting and trimming inside the house. Our new bathroom hatched from its cocoon, complete with a newly refurbished bathtub. Then I got awfully sick with strep throat, maybe the result of too much excitement and not enough rest and sleep. And there was a hurricane, just to spice things up a little. All in all, we got so much done in just a few short weeks – pretty amazing!
