The first of the wedding photos. This is all I have, picture-wise I hope you can see them.
More later. Hopefully pictures will be available soon from both the photographer and Ingrid who took some.
Happy Together
David and Maria

Three Days...
Ok, it's weird for a former news reporter to be interviewed for the newspaper. A reporter from the New Mexican just left the house after interviewing David and me for a news story that will run I think in Sunday's paper.
One thing I can say, I miss being on the other side. Maybe it's time I go back to journalism. Man, if there were only jobs.
Anyway, the Fifteen Minutes continues.

11 Days To Go
And we got snow.
Ok, not that much in Santa Fe. That's actually a picture I took last March/April in the Valles Caldera on the way to the house in Jemez Springs. But we're having record lows for highs this week. I hope by the wedding the weather is back in the 50s.
Anyway, things are slowly coming together. David and I had our friends take us both out on Saturday night for Bachelorette/Bachelor dinners. He went to the Bull Ring and I went to the Shed. I had family (my mom, his sister and niece there) old friends and new friends there. It was really, really nice. My oldest friend, Michelle made it really special, with trinkets, mixed CDs and lots of pink, but she arranged the best surprise of all. David and the Groomsmen crashed the party. He brought me a dozen pink roses, which smell heavenly even today 3 days later and lots of sweet kisses. It was quite a lovely surprise.
Neither of us wanted a traditional and outrageous bachelorette/bachelor party. We don't party much, we don't feel the need to make fools out of ourselves on our "last night of singledom". I mean, we're really not single anyway. We've been in a committed, monogamous relationship almost since day one, so we weren't celebrating the death of our single-hood, but the beginning of our married-hood, so to speak. In the end, we both got the night we wanted.
I've felt very blessed and very loved these last couple of months. I've been given two showers, a luncheon and now a dinner. I've had friends and family express joy and excitement for me. I'm very grateful to everyone who has been so kind and generous to me. David's family has been especially kind and welcoming to me. My parents are truly giving and loving. I'm still overwhelmed by all the love and support. Sometimes it feels like this is happening to someone else. It makes all my ranting and annoyances seem petty and childish... but I really wish people knew how to respond to RSVPs and read invitations!
I can say that I've learned many things planning this wedding and there are many things I'd do differently. I'll save it for another post.
