51st post (I missed the milestone)

Let's call this post

a round-up.

* Our flat will soon have hand-made, interior-designed curtains (complete with sheer and solid drapes!) Abi helps me cut--the hardest part--and pin them, then Carol stitches the seams with her sewing machine. This photo is a look at our progress half-way through...

*Since the wedding preparations are over, I've had time to read BOOKS! :)

I make Anis listen to me as I read out loud. heh heh. I wasn't going to tell anybody, but now I know I can because Anis did in our Covenant class and got a lot of laughs :P

*All the signs pointed to bed bugs... but turns out we may have just had mosquitoes that were biting us, well mostly Anis... but Carol still saved me a Calvin and Hobbes strip about bed bugs from the Sunday comics.

*We met Anis' cousin and his new wife who came in the first group of the pilgrimage season. I hope we'll get copies of their photos once they return to Australia from a trip to Europe!

*Check out my flickr to see pictures of pre-wedding festivities that I just got around to posting.

To prove they're worth it:

BRIDAL SHOWER GAME

Thank you, that's enough pictures now...

We made this slide-show clip using Photo Story 3 for Windows software. The idea is/was to attach it to thank you e-mails to guests and people who mailed gifts or sent them with our parents... but now I'm not sure... maybe it's just me because I've been sorting through the photos for so long now, but most likely I'm not the only one who's saying, "aight, enough with the Glamour Shots already." ... which is why those who have been the recipients of our virtual album and links to posted photos on flickr and facebook should have found that we're sharing more pictures of other people!!

Since I've had to pass up so many priceless pictures, and already I've had forehead-slapping moments of "why didn't I include THAT in the album" (hey! YOU try sorting through a bizillion photos...) our next--and final-- move is to share them all, ALL, on Picasa. I know, I know, enough already!! Don't worry, tho. I shan't be sending the link in a mass e-mail. But those of you who can't get enough, well by all means, just ask!!

Anis and the train; the little engine that could

You have no idea how many hours it took, but finally...

Wedding photos are ready!

The release date of our fancy, schmancy PhotoBook is any day now. In the meantime, I'll be posting outtakes (the unflattering, height-of-laughter kind) on my flickr, facebook and blogspot. In true ginous & anis fashion, most of the photos from the wedding are of this persuasion, so goofy ones made it into the formal albums as well. Sorry, Grandmother!!!

It's pay back, Jared

Office pranks

JARED! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.............

Hunt for "photo of the happy couple"

Friends and family all ask the same thing when they learn the news

that I'm getting married.

"Why haven't you sent us pictures?"

Well, be-cuuuzzzz....
