Don't Hate Us! We've been on Hiatus!!!

Brent says: Oh, loyal blog readers! How sorry I am that the last post on this now-venerable, 5-month old publication was over two weeks ago! Shameful! But fortunately enough for me, I've got a REALLY good excuse. 200+ guests at a wedding, a week on an island on which I never even THOUGHT about touching a computer, and then a week or so of bein shocked back into the real world of moving, garage sales, and work!

But don't worry about us, folks! For the Applegate's, the honeymoon rolls on! Here are some pics and quickie stories to recap the last couple of weeks. Its been an AMAZING time~ Enjoy!

Pre-Wedding


Before the wedding, Kat was busy with - imagine - last minute wedding details. She also spent a good deal of time with friends and especially family from out of town.

I avoided worrying by packing in as many events and activities BEFORE the actual wedding as possible. On Friday I had about 40 friends to Mission Bay for a picnic, and then we went to the padres game that night (but the Pad's LOST!) -

On Saturday, a group of my buddies and I had a golf scramble in the morning at the Doubletree course.

After the scramble we had to literally scramble over to church for the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner.

Wedding Day - September 3rd

What a day. First, I have to say that the day was a wonderful, special, emotional, and exhilerating success. Next, I have to say, IT WAS REALLY FLIPPIN' HOT! 101 by most thermometers. But Kat looked radiant, and I didn't pass out. So call it all a success, right?

Honeymoon - September 4th - September 10th

We stayed at the Hotel Del on Sunday night. What an amazing leap back into the Victorian era. Those cats know how to make a couple feel like Gatsby and Daisy, ya know? It was, in a word, LOVELY!

Kauai, HI - We flew out on Monday morning to Kauai... On the island, we finally RELAXED! For us, that meant slowing WAY down - Like, driving around at 25 mph and not caring at all, cause you love the scenery so much. We did a lot of snorkeling and hiking, and did some day excursions to kayak, view the scenic Na Pali coasts by Catamaran, and found some tucked away beaches. Very fun, very ROMANTIC... Well, the pictures tell the story even better than I ever could!

Back to reality - September 10th to now

SO here we are back in SD. We've come to love (and hate)... BOXES. Lots of em, big and small. I moved into Kat's place and we turned her condo into a more cubic version of the ballpen at Chuckie Cheese's!

But Kat especially, and I in a supporting role, have been working hard to slay the chaos. I'll show you how things look now in th next post. Its come A LONG WAYS! Kat rocks... That's all there really is to it ~ *grin* - Until then!
