We had our first guest!
We were so happy to show off our clean, relatively organized apartment. Then we unloaded my mom's van of wedding gifts and boxes left behind in Memphis-and we were immediately overwhelmed again.
Luckily, my mom didn't mind too much when we put her straight to work.
We finally have a kitchen table! Although we still don't have much room for it...
As a reward for her hard work and long travels, Jason and I prepared a big meal! Jason grilled chicken, I made a special green bean recipe (which included fresh hand picked peaches!), and I made a special dessert. I made watermelon sorbet from scratch! We did more than eat though...We also went to see Jason's new school, my classroom, our new parish, Turkey Creek, and the World's Fair Park. Then we wandered into Market Square and accidently found Shakespeare in the Park (and Rita's Italian Ice!)

| I'll admit, it doesn't look as good as it tasted, but I assure you we fought over the left overs the next day. |

Not to mention the fact that we managed to summon all of our will power to resist eating the last of our home-made-from-scratch-with-hand-picked-peaches peach cobbler that we made earlier this week.
Here are a few pictures from that:
It would have been nice to have a picture of the finished product before we took huge hunks out of it, but if you could smell it, you would understand there was no time for pictures.
In other news!
Some of you may have heard word of more pictures from the wedding-
Well, we got a disc (3) with over 1000 pictures. We narrowed it down to a solid 740. Ok.. I know you think that's extreme, and honestly you don't have to look at all of them-we won't be offended! But Christen Jones is so talented that they all turned out so well!
Meanwhile, there is two videos you need to see.
First, is the video that summarizes the wedding day. It is a short video but John Michael Hailey caught so many moments that give you a clear picture of what the day was like. We are so grateful that he was there to get all of this on camera and for the time and effort he put into putting it together. It is priceless!

Second, is the Hands Prayer, which was featured at our wedding. Some people have been asking about it. We heard the prayer at our marriage prep weekend retreat in Jackson, MS. We fell in love with it there and knew we wanted it incorporated into our wedding. John Michael Hailey did an awesome job throughout the day of capturing the hands that have offered us immeasurable support.
Let us know what you think!
