Surprise!

You need a plan ... but don't become consumed by it. Winds change.
--Joseph Ehrhard

Boy did these winds change!

If you've been following along, you know that Mike and I have been planning our wedding for April of 2013.

And if you know me, you probably know that my dad has brain cancer.  He's been diagnosed for nearly 2 years, and has his ups and downs. During the beginning stages of wedding planning, he was up. He's been doing quite well, actually. Then about a month ago, he had a brief down. Nothing terribly bad, but enough to make us think "Whoa, wait. We're waiting HOW long to have this wedding?"

Because, as well as he's been doing, can anyone predict the future? It's impossible to do so when a person is in perfect health, but especially difficult when you factor in a stage 4 brain tumor.

And we thought - what if something happens between now and then? We would regret it SO much if we waited until 2013 and he wasn't there.

So... we got married. A week ago. In an old-fashioned, spur-of-the-month kind of way.

Here's a sneak peak! Professional pics to follow.

We were cracking up pretty bad. You had to be there.
