skiing is lil’s favorite thing in the world. soooo, i packed up the car (with everything except her skis – which we forgot) and we headed over to tuscaloosa to get her out on the water for the weekend. we went out skiing both saturday and sunday AM….AND went out for a late night boat ride on saturday night. so, we had plenty of time on the lake over the weekend. we were all pretty exhausted by the end of the weekend on sunday, but it was well worth it. below, is will, pooped after a day of exhorting us as we skied, and a (rather long) video of the weekend.
Will Looks Wistful
i’m still working on catching more air on the wake, but we’re getting better. oh, and i’m sure lillis would like the record to reflect that the choppiness of the waters impacted her ability to shred behind the boat.
mandy and webster were great enough to fly me down to puerto rico for their wedding. lillis came along as well, b/c, well, there was a wedding, and a beach, and pictures, and mandy……so, yeah, i don’t think i could have kept her home under any circumstances. it was a beautiful venue, a great couple and two wonderful families coming together. here are the first pics from the event. i’ll be publishing a full set of probably 150 or so pics at charles+camera in the next two weeks.
mandy’s mom susan hugs her sister just moments before the ceremony began.
mandy’s ring is a gorgeous family heirloom (i believe webster’s grandmother’s ring).
we did most of our non-family shots before the ceremony which made for a quick transition into the post-ceremony brunch reception.
they weren’t really leaving here. it just looks that way : )
mandy’s dad walks her down the aisle. i’m not going to say he cried, exactly, but it sure seemed to have been a little dusty in his vicinity.
the ceremony itself was gorgeous. webster’s brother was the officiate.
here they are as they started up the aisle together.
the attendees showered them with rose petals as they came up the aisle.
one of the passages that was read at their wedding.
i hope you enjoyed the pics. thanks.

a beautiful wedding in vieques is in the books…. lil and i had a wonderful time with mandy and webster and their families and friends. great times with great people. we spent time on the beach, kayaked and swam with bio-luminescent thingies and took about 700 pictures. 701 if you count this picture, which is a picture of a picture (pic of the back of my camera taken with my cell phone). i hope later to take a pic with my camera of a computer with my blog post of the pic of my camera from my phone : ) at present lil and i are escaping the heat of old san juan inside a little cafe, aided in part by a pina colada. soon, homeward bound!

sooooo, i was able to convince john and stephen that it would be a good idea for us to spend a weekend out in the woods with no food and no hair dryers (more a concern for stephen than for me - and less so every day). we found our way up to the greater […]
we went to huntsvegas for our end of the season volleyball tourney with the tsunami club i've been working with. below are a few picks of my team (13 black). we had a tough opening day, but did manage to upset the #1 seed in the tournament on day 2 before bowing out.below, allie poses […]
i took a second trip to nicaragua in april. this time brent nix (the mystery 4th in our group) and john headed down as well. it was john's 3rd trip and we were taking a look at a couple of places that he had visited before as well as some new places that peter wanted […]
sorry, no pics for this one. soooo, Atlanta was hosting the inagural ING marathon on March 25th. several of my friends had been training for months, but i had been nursing a sore leg and had not jogged for about 2 months. for some reason my friends (most notably jason, drew and blake) thought it […]
well, i'm sure everyone was jonesin for an update on the fantasy baseball draft update. i know it's like a monkey on my back. well, we were very excited that our draft angel was still there this year and had not indeed been killed by the fans of the Dominican team last year. as you […]
soooo, i decided to wing on up to DC to check out the WHO at Verizon Center with my friends Jeff and Todd and my brother Jeremy. We had a pretty fun weekend there, highlighted by either the girl who claimed she had political asylum, or the one whose belt was "Hermes" (as i was […]

soooo, as you may know (if YOU are indeed reading this, and it's entirely possible you're not) i am now coaching volleyball. i'm coaching a girls 13's team that plays out of Woodward. often times those practices are the highlight of my week. there's something really amazing about having 12 people scream your name every […]
i usually try not to really mention what i'm thinking here, as it is my general supposition that no one really cares, but today will be an exception. i'm not even going to pretend that any more than 3 people in america might find me insiteful, but i figured i'd just put it out here. […]
nothing really to tell here. drew and i went fishing. i caught my first bass (more of a fly fisherman, i am)you may remember my phat hat as being the same one i won for catching a barracuda on drew's bachelor party. it still looks every bit as good as it did the day i […]
