Strike up Christmas!

Ah, yes. It shall be a white Christmas! Jeff strung up the old fashoned glass lights in the backyard for our enjoyment from the couch. Our first paper whites are starting to bloom! Very exciting!

And the tree... The Tree! It was hand selected in a light rain by my parents two favorite kiddos, together, peacefully. The first Christmas gift, Mom. Your kids cooperating!

Second Christmas gift, we even decorated it together with gentle traditional Christmas music lending a sweet ambiance. Yes, we accomplished task number 2 together, peacefully.

I think it is looking pretty good, don't you? It is so good to be me now that I can share again!

Hello there!

Well, hello again everyone in Boggerland! Sorry about the brief dropping off the face of the planet! The weekend after the wedding in Texas, my computer decided to crash. Hard. After a few days of just not believing it (denial) I called Dell who told me it had crashed and I would not be able to use it again, or retrieve ANYTHING off of it. Tears! All those years of digital pictures! Lost! (Most nurses are not super computer savy and the term "backing it up" refers to a dance move in my world.) So yeah, all is lost.
After a 3 week period of mourning, I took my computer to the Geek Squad, who confirmed that all was lost, unless I wanted to spend about $1,600 or so. (Not so much!) That led to another grieving period of a few days. After that, I rallied to call Dell and order the new parts to at least get my computer to work. A few days later (translated in the real world instead of Dell-talk) I got the disks to install into the computer and the new hard drive. Guess what! I am not computer literate enough to get them installed! A few hours and days of talking to Dell and, wha-lah! Here I am online again! Wooo-hooo! I can't wait to check out all your blogs again and show you the pretty Christmas tree my brother and I peacefully picked out together in the light rain. Till then, it's finally good to be me again!

The New Mr. and Mrs.

Heather and David Hall

Established October 20th, 2007

in Rockport, Texas. The happy bride and groom.

(This shot was taken after my "Loving in Public" poem reading.)

The flower girls, David's neices.

Bosom of the dress details.

The dress. Her mother is on the left, and Nana on the right.

Sorry, forgot to rotate! Heather getting ready for the wedding. This was taken just after I had given her the flowers and told her that I had tucked some bluebonnets into the bouquet to symbolize her Texas heritage.

The boquets! They turned out great!

Toys

And here is what the "Bridal Box Social" (as her sister has titled it) gifts/props are. Cute, eh?

What do you think?

Slight size difference... the "ivory" ones are about the size of my fist. Impressive though! I am just not sure how that will work with the "normal" sized pink ones. Especially with the minis mixed in.

What do you think? The top pink picture is what i have now, the one with the E is the one she wanted. Close enough?

What us kids have been up to lately

In a sea of Utah fans, Jeff, Chad and I swept in under the radar. Same colors, different letters! Jeff graduated from San Diego State University, I never attended, but you gotta root for your home teams, right? We recruited Chad to be a State fan too! He got into the school spirit just fine.
From our seats you can just barely see the tip of my hospital behind the crane. We actually ended getting beat, but it was fun sitting in the rain anyhow.

Utah definately has school spirit. Cool truck! Now if only I had brought a banner with SDS that I could put up so the U finishes it, sneaky sneaky!

This cat!

Meowzee said he'd help me study. He lied! He's so ferocious! Check out the fangs through the ribbon! So helpful.
