Hey guys, thanks for the welcome home.

I must admit, it has been a very busy past couple of weeks, it has been a great time, but I an looking forward to some down time to relax and take it easy.

The wedding, reception and Honeymoon all went well, both Kala and I are pleased with how it went.

I see Grizzly and Brady told everyone I finished last in our round of golf Saturday morning. I did have a lot on my mind, but playing golf did help pass
some time and take my mind off of the wedding.

After golf I showered, shaved and got dressed. We decided to take pictures before the wedding ceremony so everyone met at the church at 3:00 in the afternoon.

Before going to the church I had my picture taken at home with Grizzly, he seemed happy. In just over an hour, I think we took every combination of photos possible
with Kala and me, our wedding party, our families, etc. After the photos were taken, we killed off time until the wedding started. Guests began tp arrive about 20
minute to 5:00. Some friends of ours sang and played music to entertain the guests.

Promptly at 5:00 the wedding ceremony began. Kala looked so beautiful in her wedding dress. Of course her dress was white and her attendants dresses were a
light yellow. My tux and all the Groomsmen's tuxes were black, my tie was red and the Groomsmen wore yellow ties to match the attendants dress.

Kala wore her hair up and I think she spent hours getting it done that morning. She looked great.

Saint Michaels is a beautiful nearly 100 year old Catholic church, and while it is always a special place, it looked great that day. Along the main aisle,
candles were placed at the end of each row of pews, flowers were on the Altar and other places, and the late afternoon sun shinning threw the stained glass windows real made the place majic.

Father James did a great job, the wedding ceremony went well, we said our vows -Brady did remember to bring the rings- and soon the ceremony was over.

Kala and I exited the church, followed by our attendants, and then our families, we formed a receiving line in the front of the church and greated our guests
they exited the church. Finally, the wedding ceremony was over and we moved to Kings Walks Country Club for the reception. Limos were rented to transport the
wedding party and family to the Country Club.

Once the guests were seated, we began the entrance ceremony. The lights were dimmed and spot light followed the special guests as they entered the Banquet Room to their
table. We started with my grandma, then Kala's grandparents, then my Mom and Dad, Kala's Mom and dad, and finally the wedding party. Then it was Kala and my turn
as we entered the Banquet Hall and walked to the head table while everyone clapped - we felt kind of special.

After dinner, it was time for toasts and welcomes. My Dad welcomed Kala to our family and her Dad did the same for me. Finally it was time for Brady to give his
Best Man speech, he did, as promised, kept it under three hours. LOL. Brady recounted all the fun we had growing up, how were always played together, had fun playing sports
and just hanging out. He wished us the best and hoped we had as much fun together as he and I did growing up. Mom and Dad had tears in their eyes.

Dancing, socializing and partying followed. We did the traditional him/her dance, mother/son, father/daughter dances, etc. I even danced with my grandma. It was
a fun night with family and friends.

The Guest Book was placed by the entrance to the Club House. Wedding pictures from past generations were placed near the Guest Book. There was both my and Kala's parents wedding picture,
both sets of our grandparents, one of Kala's great-grandparents, two of my great grandparents, three of my great-great grandparents and one of my great-great-great grandparents. At times like this,
it is great to remember and honor those who came before.

I will write more later.
