Kim and I went back to my parents for Thanksgiving. Kim made a lot of food to take including fake chicken, gravy, mashed sweet potatoes and stuffing. We had Thanksgiving at their house, and it was great to see the family again so soon after the wedding. Dave had a video of the wedding that was a lot of fun to watch. I had a sauna with Larry and Gwenda. It snowed like crazy Thanksgiving day. The rest of the time we relaxed, watched movies, and I helped clean out some old electronics. Nathan wasn’t home. Hopefully we’ll see him for Christmas, and we’re hoping to have the relatives here if any can make it over.

Brendan Visits
My friend Brendan, who I met in Spain, came up to visit this weekend. He stayed with Laura the whole weekend, but we hung out a lot. Friday night Laura, Brendan, two of Brendan’s friends, Jack and Ayella, and Kim and I had dinner together at our house. Kim cooked some snazzy pot pies with our initials in them, and other people brought salad and wine.
Saturday we went out and saw the Jason Webley concert at the Paradox. As usual, it was an awesome show complete with skies crashing down, swaying dizzy people with arms locked around each other and great musical performance.
Sunday we took it easy and hung out around the house until the evening, when we went to Laura’s for dinner.

Wedding Vendors
I wanted to link to some of the vendors that made our wedding go off so well.
So if you’re in the area of Vermont for your wedding, a great place to have it is The Inn at Baldwin Creek. They do a great job of taking a lot of the stress out of things, keeping you organized, having awesome food and still being very reasonably priced.
If you’re looking for a couple great photographers who are reliable, good communicators and take sweet photos, check out St Phalle Photography. They had the proofs online in less than a week after the wedding, and they made us look amazing :-)
I wish I could link to our DJ’s website, but I don’t think he has one. Jonathan Britt went above and beyond the call of duty. He kept the dance floor full all night, played music we liked even with just general guidelines, and looked sharp in a tux. He also MC’d for us and also communicated very well. He showed up early to set everything up as well.
Finally, back in the Seattle area, engraved glass mugs are a great groomsmen gift, and you can find some beautiful ones from Northwest Creations Etched Glass from Doug in Kent, Washington. Of course they ship too.
