I apologize for the horrible geeky tie in, but I couldn't avoid this one. I've just been overwhelmed with joy that my wife is 12 weeks pregnant which means I will be a first time dad in Oct.

Of course this also means that if anyone has any side work that they are looking to get done, I could really use to pick up some extra Flex or ColdFusion work in the meantime :)

It still feels semi-dream like, but this brings realty into full light!

This weekend our wedding went off with out a hitch. The weather was fantastic and people were even better. Aside from being graced by so many family members and friends we had fenomenal luck with all of our vendors.

Our friend Rich Ortiz was amazing and was joined after dinner by Chris and Chris on guitar and drums. If you've never heard of Rich Ortiz, I recommend you look into him. He is worlds above the other famous contenders in the same market that he would sell into and I expect to be able to really brag about having him play at our wedding someday. Melissa and I also chose our first dance to be one of his original songs, "Further".

By complete chance we ended up finding our Photographer Louis (Forever Platinum). Louis was a complete professional and extremly fun and easy to work with. Our event planner for the wedding said he was one of the nicest guys and great to work with. He even made me look almost respectible. It was a pleasure!

We have tons of photos coming, but he quickly posted up a few on his blog the night of the wedding, he also had an LCD screen that he used half way through to show earlier shots during the wedding. That was a fantastic teaser for what we are about to receive. Until then here are just a few select ones...

For friends and Family I'm posting a few photos that were taken by my\r\nphotographer this evening. I'm getting married in 2 weeks. All the\r\nphotos can be found on the next page to save those who don't care :) I'd really like to thank Louis (Forever Platinum) for the pictures tonight!

Some of you who know me, know that I'm getting married soon...\r\nYesterday I ran into an issue that I felt was worthy of a short story.\r\nMy girlfriend and I are trying to do a modest wedding and are keeping\r\ncosts down where we can; one of the places we cut back was on wedding\r\ninvitations and rsvp cards. We stopped into Michaels and picked up 3\r\nDIY packs that should suffice our 100+ crowd of adults plus children\r\nand created them in MS Word. I have an small-office laser printer in my\r\nhome office that prints faster than I thought was possible and it was\r\nWAY easier than I ever expected and we only spent $100ish dollars.

So\r\n2 days after we printed them all and put them aside I get a call during\r\nthe day: \"Honey what are we going to do? All of the wedding invitations\r\nare still wet, and they smudge at the smallest touch!\". When I got home\r\nthat night and surveyed that they were in fact not drying that she\r\nwasn't nuts, I came to the most obvious conclusion that any sain purson\r\ncould: \"Lets put em in the oven\".

This past weekend I picked up a 5 week old Boxer puppy from a rescue (Ella). Her mom had stopped feeding the puppies, but she was already doing very well on her own anyway. We already have an almost 2 year old Lhasapoo (Buster) who up until the afternnon of the day when this video was shot, was being extremly snobish and doing his best to ignoring the new pup.

I'm not normally a guy to post pictures of my pets, or even take video... But last night I captured a couple really funny scenes on my pocket camera and thought this one was worth posting. Whats amazing is that the MIC on the camera was actualy on. These two will now play for 15-20 minutes like this all out and not make a SINGLE sound.... This is a welcome change from her hound-esque howl she can get going at night...
