Happily Married!

January 10, 2010 · Leave a Comment

Well. It’s official. I am now a (happily) married man. We returned from Puerto Rico last week Tuesday and have been hiding out at my parents house, taking time to recover and prepare for our long flight back to South Africa. The week in San Juan was perfect in all aspects. The weather. The ceremony. The conglomeration of friends and family that we rarely see. Perfect. As Christy put it, she was a princess for a day.

I won’t go into all the details as I’m sure that Christy will, but on top of bringing in the New Year with all of our friends and family and having a picturebook ceremony facing the beautiful Atlantic Ocean, we spent a day in the El Yunque rain forest on a zipline tour and one evening in Fajardo playing in one of the island’s three bio-luminescent bays. All in all, it was the perfect holiday. To those who could not make it, please enjoy a sample of pictures available on the right. A special thank you to Janine and Adam for sharing some of their pictures from the special day. Thank you to everyone for their continual love and support and I promise in this new year to do better sharing our stories and adventures from abroad. Until then…

Home for the Holidays

December 15, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Hi everyone. Christy and I arrived in Dallas last week Tuesday for a full 5 weeks of vacation here in the States and needless to say we are very excited. This past weekend we spent with Scott and his family at their new lake house on Lake Livingston. Tomorrow we head over to San Antonio to spend time with the Hotard clan before we head south to Puerto Rico for our wedding. Again, we are very excited about that and look forward to seeing those of you who will be able to make it down to celebrate with us.

Anyway, just wanted to say hello quickly and to also let you know that I’ve uploaded some new pictures to my flickr account as you will see to the right. Feel free to peruse and I’ll try to upload more while I have a good internet connection. Cheers for now!
