You guys, we had such an amazing time. Just checking in - Ryan, our wedding photographer - posted a few pictures from our big day here. But now, Pete and I are going to play Seinfeld Scene-It? (we registered for it...that's right. We registered at Target almost specifically for board games. I love our friends and families) and eat some greasy Chinese food. We came home a few days early from our trip and decided that even though we're home, responsibility will be avoiding us until we were SUPPOSED to get home.

But. I shall return with wedding and honeymoon photos and stories and more!
