Lo, things hath changedith

Monday, March 24th, 2008

For the second day in a row Mrs Eaves awesome photoblog thing Camera Shy has surpassed the ‘tuma in pageviews by a decent margin.

Is it because she’s an awesome photographer (which is why she was our official wedding photographer(well, and the fact that she worked for beer))?

Is it because she’s putting pictures of me and the Lady up?

Is it because she has a great layout and, ahem, regular posts?

Is it?

Or is it because she’s cheating?

?

You decide.

Easter crisis averted

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008

Thank God these brave souls are out there, on this cold Easter Sunday, to drink our beer.

This is the best way to have a honeymoon, in my opinion. With friends, and the gal you love. Having fun, eating pizza, listening to music, and drinking lots of beer.

But only if you’re off work tomorrow…

which we are…

Our HUGE Easter problem

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008

Hello.

I’m breaking the standard Sunday haiku tradition to point out an enormous issue plaguing myself and my lovely wife in our first full day of married bliss.

No, not that kind of problem. There are pills for that…

No, the issue at hand today is this.

problem1.jpg

Delicious beer. Microbrewed in Knoxville, Tennessee, with perfect fermentation, and a stout hardiness that belies its “get you tore back” alcohol content.

I’ve never in my life had a problem with delicious beer, until this…

problem2.jpg

30 gallons of it. Now, the keg with the rag on it is pretty floated, but that bad boy on the left? Oh, its chock full of that hearty goodness that is in the cup next to my right arm.

With a party pump installed.

Problem is, this lets evil oxygen, that bane of beer’s very existence, into the keg, destroying it with its bacteria and foul foulness.

This beer needs to be drunk, people. If theres ever been a call to action, its a call to all stiff necked, strong backed men and women of grit to come down here, and drink this beer.

Happy Easter.

All Done (part deux)

Friday, March 21st, 2008

So, as my formidable and beautiful ladyfiancee stated, we’re all set.  The truck is packed, and my mind is racing…

Its freakin sweet.  I keep working to pack and prepare, as if for a long trip, and then I remember “wait, this is for a kick ass party”.

Then I remember “wait, I’m marrying my kickass Ladyfriend!”

Those are all good revelations to make!

Excuse me, I just remembered something I have to do…

All done

Friday, March 21st, 2008

It’s been fun planning this wedding all by ourselves. We decided yesterday that we are glad it’s here, though. My truck is half packed. The rest of all the goodies are still piled up in the den. I’m excited to see it all together and see if it looks like we planned it to. But… it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t. It’s gonna be awesome.

The last two weeks we’ve been asked by family and friends, if we’re excited. Hell yeah, we’re excited! And now, with the errands complete and all the Needful accomplished… we’ve decided the second most exciting part is getting to see all of our family and bestest friends.

Most of my family is coming. They are all from areas around East TN…so not too much traveling for them. I have an aunt and some cousins in TX that won’t be able to come. It’s a long way. And my BEST friend in the whole world is in TX, too. And selling her house, and moving, and……. well, she can’t come and that makes me sad, but it’s ok. I know she tried. (I’ll miss you, La.)

AT has family coming from all over. He’s tickled. None of the Canadians are coming down, but we’ll see them in May. He’s very happy about all the peeps coming in just for him. I like watching him be excited about it. Today he is excited about tomorrow. He said his “exciteds” don’t happen until right before something happens. Well, folks… he’s got them today. A full-blown case. He’s bouncin’ around here like a little kid getting ready to go to the circus. It’s awesome. Makes me smile. (hee)

All of our friends are awesome. Thanks to everyone who is involved for helping and thanks to everyone else for being so excited for us.

Wow.

Tomorrow.
