OK. It's been 5 weeks since the wedding. So much has happened, so this might be a long post. I will include some pictures to make it interesting. :)
The Wedding Day was awesome, everything we expected and more! Our timing was like clockwork, everyone did their job, s
howed up on time, nothing broke and it did not rain. The worse thing that happened was the wind blew like the devil for about 2 hours. It started right at the end of the ceremony and we scrambled to get bonfires lit so our guests would not freeze to death. The caterers had a tough time keeping the food warm because the wind was hitting them directly and it was pretty darned cold. Tablecloths blew everywhere, and a few people left early...but our hardcore friends stuck around, huddled in the mancave, on the porch and near the fires.

She told me they were awesome though, and I've had a few sneek peeks...I think I will be pleased.
My son, Dante sang for the masses and received standing ovations. He felt like a rockstar. It was cool to see his face light up as he jammed with a full band. My baby, so precious!The honeymoon...aaaaaaaahhhhh, the much ne
eded getaway! Very relaxing and romantic indeed. Andy was stunned by the central coast mountainsides and landscapes. We visited 14 wineries in 4 days, we ate like kings, slept and giggled, it was truly a honeymoon to be remembered. We came home with 4 cases of wine, and we are now spoiled beyond repair. There is no going back to 
Trader Joe's 2-buck chuck. MAN that was fun! I even took Andy to Hearst Castle so he could experience the grandeur. Touring this iconic fairytale castle on the hill makes you realize that visualization works. Anyway...I could go on and on. Enjoy the pics!

Coming back home, and back to reality, has taken us a few weeks to fall back into a normal routine. After all, what's normal? We've been kicking ass on this property for 6 months straight. Well, Mother Nature decided that for us. Two weeks after the honeymoon, our land exploded with 2-foot tall weeds. ALL OVER THE PLACE. Imagine 5 acres of weeds.
It wouldn't be SO BAD if our neighbor hadn't told us that the snakes LOVE to hang out in the weeds...and in these two weeks we have had 3 snake sightings. 2 of them were rattlers. YIKES! So, now our "normal routine" is weed whacking. Our neighbors property is perfectly clean...no weeds at all. SO we asked him how he kept it so nice and he said "roundup". He sprays twice a year and the weeds don't come. Wow. Next year, we'll know.
