Throughout this whole wedding planning, I really stressed on the details.  I think details can make a huge difference..and although I didn't have all of the time in the world to plan and execute..here are the results:

married life has been...TIRING but fun. HA. i think it really hit me when the other day i came back from work, took a nap, and woke up to a quiet house. usually my parents wake me up to eat dinner. food is prepared and i just get up and eat. boy did i have it good. ziggy and i are settled in. now that i'm living here, i find myself cleaning non stop. i think i spend half the day scrubbing toilets, yardwork, cleaning the floor, dusting, wiping the tables, washing dishes, doing laundry (yes you heard right doing laundry!!! ziggy taught me..).

i think back on august and everything is still a blur.  but now that i've come back to reality - school & work...i can get back into my working out routine.  i've been itching to run...yesterday i did weights and jump rope. my legs and shoulders are so sore. time to get back in shape!

as for wedding planning. i am so glad that part is over. it was hard work!  i've ordered thank you cards from shutterfly.com, stamps from stamps.com again and also ordered an embosser from wgpress.com.  i can't wait to start writing my cards. i have so much to say and am so thankful to all of our guests.  time to practice writing some chinese.

here are some of our getting ready pics.  jenn at the BHH gave me a huge garden bungalow to stay in. we were stoked:
