Housewarming

We had a housewarming party a few weekends ago and did a crawfish boil. We ended up with great weather and spent most of the day in the backyard.

New Orleans

We took a road trip to New Orleans for spring break. The partying and drinking aside, it's a pretty neat city.

Marriage Ceremony

We finally did it! Mark and I made it official and got married on Friday 3/6/09. We plan on having a more formal ceremony next summer on the beach in Mexico. Start saving your pennies, everyone will be invited! Our immediate (and local) family joined us at the courthouse and for a celebration dinner afterwards.

While waiting our turn in the courthouse we took about a thousand pictures. I'll spare you and only post a few.
