I have some serious blogging to do

The past two weeks have been a blur of family and friends from afar, tying billions of little ribbons, delicious food, tourist trips and Alaska adventures. I'm still sorting through and properly archiving the images from my camera and iPhone. This weekend I hope to blast my blog with posts from the following:

• Portage Glacier Cruise with our out-of-town friends
• Pictures of my dad helping the girls tie ribbons and cut fabric for my many DIY wedding details, plus close ups of programs, centerpieces, decorations and favors. I love how everything turned out thanks to lots of help from lots of people and can't wait to share our creativity.
• Girls night out
• Barbecue at the Hamiton's complete with a tree swing and live music
• A weekend of wedding festivities: Bonfires, random guitar sessions, decorating, wedding pics and more
• Hiking to Russian River Falls the day after the wedding near Cooper Landing
• The amazing all-day cruise into Kenai Fjords National Park with my new in-laws, husband and son

Today is my first day back a work. I miss my wonderful friends and family already and wish I could have had more time showing everyone the beautiful place I live. Sometimes it takes new eyes to renew wonder in your surroundings. Like how everyone awed at the midnight sun. But it's also nice to take a deep breath after all the excitement and settle back into regular life.

I've never been so tired as I was the days following the wedding. One night I slept 13 hours after having napped much of the day.

Until I post, there are some nice pictures of facebook posted my my former ADN coworker Mike Lewis and a few others.
