Hey, y'all. Looks like today's April 29th, so that means we've been married a whole two months! Go us! If you haven't seen the wedding pictures yet, they're on facebook, or you can go here to our photographer's site. Turns out being married is not very different than cohabiting. (Cohabitating or cohabiting? The first seems right, but the red squiggly is there. We have to trust the red squiggly in these times, yes?). We just have better jewelry. We had thought of having a celebratory party in Houston, but it just seems like a lot of effort. That's mostly why we didn't have a wedding in the first place. We will still have random gatherings of friends in our house, but again, whittling down a guest list to a manageable size is just something we can't do. We suck at things.
We honeymooned in Mexico from March 1-6. I totally recommend the El Dorado Royale to anyone. The food was incredible. I really didn't take many pictures, but the website does the grounds justice.
Clay's mom had a party for us in Vidalia, LA last weekend. My parents flew south for the occasion, and they were indoctrinated into
the finest of Louisiana cultural traditions -- the crawfish boil (No. You cannot trust the red squiggly. There is a red squiggly under crawfish. The red squiggly is bullshit).We really enjoyed visiting w/ everyone and filling our bellies with crawfish, cake, and other delectables. Pictures are all over facebook, so I'm not going to repost them here.
Mostly, the last two months have been pretty domestic. We redid part of our fence (the crappy side that Nina rammed with her head and ended up in the neighbor's yard), tilled and sodded the back yard, planted some fruit trees and the herb garden. (God, this blog is thrilling...I swear I'll do something exciting and tell you about it soon.) Liz hooked me up with the Woodduck Farm CSA, and it's been awesome. I guess that's why I haven't been blogging. I've been cooking away my free time.
We did fulfill one promise to ourselves and upgraded the boat. Well, that was more Clay than me, but I'm generally supportive of the idea. Our current boat can hold four, but only two can fish. The new boat can hold 4 to 6 comfortably for fishing, and it can go in the bays (or the Gulf on a calm day). I'll post a picture when I get one. It's still at the dealership, as our old boat is still in the driveway. So, another plea. Visit us. We'll take you fishing.
