So it’s been a week since I last updated.  I feel incredibly guilty about it, but I have two good reasons for hiding away in a little hole.

1. Per usual, I’ve been busy.  Ok, so that’s kind of a crappy excuse- everybody’s busy.  Fail.
2. On Wednesday, I got my hair did, and I’m not completely in love with the results, so I’ve been hesitant to post.  Yes, dear readers, I live in fear of being judged, not just by people I see every day, but by my friends and family who read my effing blog.  (This counts as a double fail.)

But this past Saturday, something happened that was definitely worthy of me climbing out of my hole and blogging about- our friends Kate and Max got married!

Yay!

I met Kate through the incredibly awesome Queen Anne Knitting Group.  (Yeah, we don’t have a better name than that.)  Kate is the baby of the group, but you’d never know from looking at her incredibly speedy, incredibly meticulous knitting.  We quickly discovered that we quickly shared more in common than just knitting- we both have significant others who are obsessed with cars.  Thus, Mike and I hung out with Kate and her fiance Max, and we had couple friends!  Victory!

Their first “official” kiss.  Awwww!

After the ceremony, we ate.  I’m bummed that nobody took pictures of the cheese platter, which accounted for probably 50% of my food intake that day.  So yummy!

And then we reception-ed it up.

Me, Rita, and the infamous orange hair.  I wanted something lighter, but I’m thinking it’s too orange.  I’m also thinking that my obsession with the color orange is getting a little extreme.

Um, in typical Aubrey fashion, I developed some fantastic blisters a few days before the wedding.  Mike took this particularly flattering detail shot.

I love, love, love this picture- Mike is smiling!  But I’m super sad that it’s so shadowy and dark.  Too bad I don’t have a husband with awesome Photoshop skills who could happily and easily fix this for me.

How awesome is this photo?  I really just love the way we’re standing- it looks very Vanity Fair-esque to me.  Sadly, Barrie is missing from this photo because she was hiking through the desert in Moab that day and couldn’t make it to the wedding.  It’s okay though, we’re plotting to photoshop Barrie and Dominic in at a later date.  We just need to find a picture of Barrie simultaneously flipping off the camer and eating an apple to make it authentic.  It shouldn’t be that hard to find a picture of exactly that.

Ok, I have to go and shampoo some gradual coloring stuff into my hair now.  I’ll update again, with much less lag time.  I promise.
