Married!

We had incredible weather this weekend. We all managed to make it to the park on time (even early!). The sun went down on cue, and it was as near perfect as we could wish it. Everyone had a nice stroll over to Cheryl & Nick's after the wedding and lots of good food and a little drink. Many many thanks to Cheryl & Nick and those incredible women I sail with (the 'Sailing Femmes') who pitched in to make this happen for me with very little worries and effort on my part.

There were about 6 people with digital cameras at the wedding (plus the crew from the MYC Scavenger Hunt who stopped by briefly to take a picture in the middle of the wedding), and I've only gotten pictures from 2 of them. As soon as I get the rest and get them sorted out, I'll post them here.

Dave and I spent our wedding night on the boat... a little bit symbolic, and a little bit practical (we gave our bedroom to guests). But it was really nice waking up to hear the pelicans fishing in the canal.

We both have agreed that our real honeymoon starts when we shove off and head south. So yesterday I went on my next-to-last race with my 'Sailing Femmes' (snif) and Dave played golf with the guys.

I finally snatched a few hours here and there yesterday to help Nicki get sorted out. She also has had to sort thru her 'stuff' and decide what to keep and what to throw out. And we had to get her finances settled, as I'll be out of easy touch for weeks at time. We had originally planned this as an open weekend for us to spend some quality time together. But when Dave proposed and we decided to get married before we left, it was the only weekend that we both had open, so events overtook us and we didn't get much mother/daughter time. But we did have a cool time working the cockpit together in the race yesterday.

Dave and I had about an hour this morning to catch our breaths and look over our calendars. It's another busy week for us... the canvas people are coming this morning to do another fitting on the rest of the dodger. We have to start the paperwork to turn me into 'Mrs. McCampbell'. We have the cabinet people coming on Friday to take the old cabinets out, so we have to get cleared out of the kitchen by Thursday and out of the house by the following Monday when the construction crew arrives. Plus all the ongoing boat preps... a full time month-long job in its own right.

We'll be more less moved onto Soggy Paws by next Monday! (whew!)
