One-Year Anniversary

So I was not horribly smart this year, and did not take any pictures on our anniversary. It boggles the mind how I could forget to do such a thing, but there it is. So, with the lack of photographic evidence you will simply have to trust my memory to accurately portray the events of the night to you. Risky? I think so...(Now would be a good time to mention that I am writing this at 6AM. No, I am not an early riser, I am still awake, taking astronomical data. Why you may ask? I don't know, but if this post is wicked weird, I will blame it on lack of sleep rather than horrible literary ability on my part.)

August 15, 2008 is a day that will go down in my family history as the day that Kelly and I got married. It has been one year since we tied the knot (one year, I joked with Kelly, since I have had any fun). In the last year we have successfully prodcued a gorgeous baby (see post below,) moved into a new apartment, argued and debated about our future, and had an all-around pretty awesome time.

To commemorate the event, we had a date. On the advice of a co-worker we had dinner at a restaurant called "Four Seasons", a chinese Hot Pot,where you cook your food in a pot of boiling broth right on your table. It was quite the experience, the owners and only employees are a couple who I am sure only know enough english to explain the food. It was amazing,we are definately planning on going back in the future.

We had not decided whether we were ready to take the step of leaving Karli alone with a babysitter for a few hours in order to properly celebrate the occasion, but at the last minute, Kelly's cousin Drew was able to step in and babysit for us. So, we used some free movie tickets Kelly had and saw "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" a decent movie about people throwing around magic spells. The overall aura and feeling of the movie was only interrupted by Kelly's constant checking to see if Drew had called and if anything was wrong with Karli. Oh, my cute wife, she is so funny, she missed Karli so much!

All in all, it was a perfect anniversary and I was glad that I have spent the last year with my beautiful wife!

Karli is 5 weeks old!

Hello again everyone! Our little girl has reached the ripe old age of 5 weeks old. We haven't put up pictures for a while, and I thought that I would no longer deprive all of you of seeing the most beautiful girl in the world! Here we have a picture of Karli sleeping, one of her kissing her mother, one of her and her aunt Lacey, and another of her sleeping in a pretty dress. I also included a video. She likes to sleep on mom or dad, but sometimes she wants to get a bit better vantage point. Here she is hiking up Mt. Mommy to get a peek at the surrounding area.
