Wedding/Honeymoon post #1- Intro
Monday, September 22nd, Adirondack State Park, New York*
For the next week or so, I’ll be blogging about my wedding and all the events that surrounded it last weekend, and the honeymoon that followed. In today’s world, it seems something didn’t happen unless you blog about it
Now of course, that’s ridiculous. The events of last weekend will be remembered by everyone who attended for some time I hope, and certainly need not be written down for Meg or I to remember that magical day for a long long time. Nor is a blog the only means I have to document what took place, we had not one but two professional quality photographers snapping away, not to mention a host of friends and family who have already started sending me their snapshots from the wedding. Emails have been zipping back and forth amongst family, sharing favorite stories and gossiping about who wore what, and I’m sure just as many phone calls have been made.
So there’s no real need to blog about the wedding, or the honeymoon that is now following it. But it seems to have become a bit of a tradition now, that when Meg and I take a journey together, as we did when we drove cross country, or when we traveled to Israel, that I recount our journey in this forum. Friends and family have told me they enjoy following along with our journey, and I find it an interesting way for me to gather my own thoughts on important events. It gives me a moment of forced reflection, a time to step back and consider what has been going on.
And if anyone is wondering why the style of this initial post seems so ponderous, I blame it on how much NPR we’ve been listening to. I’m writing to you now on day 2 of our honeymoon, Monday night, from the Cold Brook Campgrounds, enjoying the quiet and stillness of our campsite, and taking a few moments to type away as Meg sets up camp. (Our deal was, if I do the driving, she sets up camp, and its working out to be a nice division of labor, as it lets her nap when there aren’t pretty things to look at.)
Here are some of the pictures we’ve gotten back already, from Tom, the senior pastor of my church, and photographer extraordinaire.
More pictures, and blogging, to come soon.
Stay tuned.
*Note- Some of these posts will be dated a day or two, (or more) earlier then when they actually get posted, as my internet access is spotty. I’m writing posts when I have the chance and then posting them when I can get online, so the dates may not match up. The date and location listed are the date that the post was written, not necessarily when it was posted or when the events in question took place.
