Wedding Pics



We've received our proof book from our wonderful photographer, Peggy Baker, so we're looking forward to getting our thank you cards printed out as well as our wedding albums put together.





In the meantime, we really appreciate our friends and family sending us their pictures as well.





Here is one from our friends the Ghezzi's. (Hanniel was Richard's best man)

This was the best idea while we were down there-1/2 braiding kept my hair out of my face.

Breakfast outdoors by one of the pools on our first day
The view from our villa in the morning...
...and at night! The balcony was completely private and we were the only ones on our floor (top)
Just down from our resort was where Christopher Columbus landed in 1492.
A sampling of the fresh fruits available everyday. The curls hanging down are orange peels.

Long Overdue

Where to begin? The last two months since we last posted an entry here have just flown by! It's hard to believe that the wedding is all over and all we have to do now is enjoy married life.

I'm going to skip Christmas and the wedding shots here as my sister-in-law has amazing pictures and a detailed description of the wedding for those of you who couldn't attend. Go to her site at www.theafricanqueen.blogspot.com . You'll have to go to "older posts" at the bottom of the screen but it's pretty clear as to which one to click on.

I will say that God is Great! We had an amazing day and were both able to enjoy the event. It was everything we prayed it would be.

I'm having trouble uploading the pictures right now, so here is a brief synopsis of the time away.

Sunday afternoon we went to Niagara Falls for two nights. We practically had the whole falls to ourselves. It was sunny and warm enough to walk for four hours as we did (twice actually!)
Tuesday afternoon we flew to Cuba for a wonderful sun filled, warm week of relaxation.

We arrived back in Toronto the following Wednesday at 1:00am to dark, cold, snowy weather. After scraping the car off we heading home and finally got into bed at 3am. The rest of the week has been sorting, packing, unpacking, cleaning and trying to get in touch with friends and family.

Richard headed back to work today and I'm settling in to my new role at home. So far, so good!

Hopefully, we'll have to pictures up soon so keep checking in!
