We are married!
Mike and Sydney are officially married. We've been off on a fantastic honeymoon in the Caribbean for 10 days. We've been internet-less, so I'm catching up on everything. I promise to write soon about wedding and honeymoon adventures. Lots to do this weekend before work starts up again on Monday for both of us. We're happy to be back!

This and That
Twelve days from now I can change the title of this blog to The Drinkwaters. It's so close! Yea! It's been nothing but busy, of course, but we are enjoying it. I did, unfortunately, become quite ill a couple weeks ago and, when I thought I was close to being healthy again, both my eyes were suddenly bloody and painful (to me and others looking at me). Turns out I had hemorrhagic conjunctivitis, a "more severe infection than pink eye," as my doctor told me. Google it - you'll find disgusting pictures. That's how I looked the last few days, but the prescription drops he gave me are seeming to work. So do not worry!
Since I last wrote, I've had my third and final wedding shower. My 2 friends Cindi and Val did a fantastic job putting it on and it was a lot of fun. I'd post a picture, but they didn't turn out very well. Funny lighting and old camera....
Mike went to the Work & Witness Conference in Portland this weekend. I wanted to go when I first heard about it last winter, but I couldn't get the time off and am kinda planning a wedding, too....

For those non-Nazarene readers out there, this week marks the 100-year anniversary for our Church. We had a terrific celebration on Sunday here at our local church. We set up giant tents on our newly purchased property and had a great time!

As I am writing, my dad and Mike are in the process of moving my bed to Mike's house. It'll be our bed in a couple weeks and better to get things done now rather than later! We'll drag up the extra mattress from downstairs for me to sleep on for 2 weeks.
Mike and I are definitely ready for the wedding to be here....I am mostly excited to see all my friends and family that I haven't seen for so many years. That's going to be my favorite part of it all, I think.
