Three weddings, a graduate course and 3200 miles later...

I am back from a surprise road trip to Texas. My cousin Martin passed away and my dad and I drove down to his funeral. We also got to catch up with my uncles Doc and Roy and my aunt Dede, and see my sister's baby Nova and my brother's new house. It was a long, grueling drive but the time with family was worth it.

The weddings were all great. They each had such a unique flavor that reflected the couples' personalities. The first was formal and elegant.

The second was charmingly rustic.
Bride and groom cut the cake in a cabin. Nearby a groom's cake is shaped like a mountain.

 The third was funky and atmospheric.

At the outdoor alter, the groom is about to kiss the bride on the forehead. The pastor looks on.


Cupcakes, labeled with the couple's name, and by flavor.

I'm actually going to another wedding this month, and then my brother's wedding in September. 2011 is definitely my year of weddings. In other news, I finished my first course in graduate school. It was really intense. That's why you haven't heard from me in a month. My second course is slightly less intense but still time consuming. I forgot how much hard work it is to be in school. Here is my family, from my trip to Texas:

 My uncle Doc. It was his son that passed away.

My aunt DeDe.

My uncle Roy. 


 My nieces, Nova and Shakti.
Ed Anthony and Offspring.
