Maine Reception

Hey everyone! Here we are in Utah, updating the blog with a little taste of the reception in Maine, which is the first set of pictures we've received thus far. We truly plan on keeping a thorough update of wedding/Boston/receptions/honeymoon pictures, but we can't promise too much just 'cause we'll be traveling so much. (Tomorrow we head down to Arizona for two weeks to work, then over to San Diego for a week, then back up to Idaho to start school.) So, enough of me, let's get on with the show!

Mike pushing in my chair as we sit down to eat, and me eating a strawberry. Galen made me do it again and again 'cause he (apparently) liked the shot. So did Mike. When we saw them he said to me, "I like that. We need copies of all of those." I joked that we could blow them all up and decorate our rooms with them. (Creeeepy!)

Sam, Levi, and Todd G.

Selena and Eden

Here's a nice close up of the bouquet and my ring. My bouquet was made of large pink and ivory roses, small pink and ivory spray roses, and pink snap dragons. Everyone loved it!

Eating cake - our top was made of lemon lavender. It was sooo good! I actually had forgotten that was the flavor we chose until I took a bite, and then my mouth just started watering. The other picture (below) is of Loren Maxwell right afterward. He took one good look at that cake and then immediately reached out a frosting-swiping finger. I grabbed him just in time and told him that all he had to do was take a seat and the cake would come to him! He ran to the closest table.

Me and Mike cracking up at a part of the slide show. I assure you, it was one of my baby pictures. There was an audible difference when people saw a picture of Mike as a baby (Awwww!) and when they saw a picture of me as a baby (Ugh! What is that!).

Me dancing with Dad. Or, more accurately, me smiling sweetly while Dad looks like a hillbillie.

Mike and Karen after the mother/son dance.

(1) Above. Mike and I get some swing dancing in.(2) The party gets started! The two boys on the floor, Sean and Nathan, saw Same do some break dancing and they wouldn't stand upright form then on. (3) Below. Our first dance as a married couple. Actually, other than dancing in my livingroom in my apartment, this was our first slow dance ever! We had been to a couple of dances up at school, but they never played a slow song! Can you believe it?!

Thanks Janice and Galen for the great gift of photos! We really appreciate it, and they all came out so well!
