Alas, has it been that long? Good grief.. I guess it seems like it, after all. I saw you guys at church Sabbath. Do you usually go to Chattanooga? I've visited off and on, as my aunt and uncle go there, and now my parents have changed membership there too. I feel left out in the dark, so maybe I will change too. It's nice though. I kept sitting there planning what I would want my wedding to be like. That's kind of distracting, but it was a nice distraction. How is the wedding planning going? Happy Anniversary!

yeah, we're officially changing our membership to First Chattanooga. we love Pastor Fred. maybe it's the camp staff in us, but we can't get enough of him. we do mourn the fact he doesn't use the word "copious" hardly enough, but what's a guy to do?

it HAS been that long, and that seems a little rediculous. Ireland seems like it could have been last summer but nope, i left for Ireland five years ago and got back four years ago. sheesh, time flies. all is well.

the wedding planning is going excellently. we'll be getting married there at First Chattanooga. right now we're in the process of finding the men's tuxes, which has proved harder than one might imagine. the first place we found we really liked, but felt guilty that the men's tux rental was going to cost more than the girls' purchase of their bridesmaid's dresses, so we're still looking around. the funniest thing (or oddest, most unusual, most unlike any other wedding) that's happened with all of this is i've dictated the colour scheme. i know, the bride usually picks that out (with every other thing) but i dictated what colours would be present at the wedding (more specifically, my kilt dictated what colours would be present).

that's right. i'm wearing my kilt.

have you come to expect anything less from me? :)
