We went to bed embarrassingly early last night but we still got up by
7:00am. Now we are packing up to head to Gettysburg.

We have arrived and unpacked at our second hotel of the honeymoon.
This time we are just outside of Baltimore, MD near the airport. The
room lacks the overwhelming class and sophistication of the B&B in
Woodstock, but it is still perfect because we are together.

We are both exhausted from the flights down here and neither of us is
feeling 100% healthwise so we are going to stay in and rest tomorrow
before heading West to Gettysburg tomorrow.

I posted yesterdays Vermont pictures to flickr yesterday. I think
there is a link on the right somewhere. Enjoy.

We have arrived in Newark, NJ. Our connecting flight to Baltimore
leaves in a little more than an hour. That sure was a small plane.
Definitely not designed for over-sized guys like me.

We are sitting in the Manchester, NH airport waiting for the first of
the days' flights. Eventually we'll stop in Baltimore, MD.

We looked like a couple of rookies at security as we both walked
through with stuff in our pockets. I feel stupid.

Updates will follow whenever the honeymooning blogging doofus gets the
chance.

The wedding was perfect. Jen is my wife. I am Jen's husband.
Everything went perfectly. We couldn't be happier with the entire day.

Last night we drove to Woodstock, VT and checked into The Village
Inn. The room is beautiful, but everything here is. It is just
perfect.

Today we had a killer massage and then went for a hike

I went to bed around 10:30 and tossed and turned for a couple of
hours. I think I was asleep for a few hours before waking up a little
before 4:00. I gave up trying for more sleep at 5:00. I think I’m
going to watch Star Trek on my phone until the alarm goes off.

The wedding is less than seven hours away and I can’t wait!

The rehearsal dinner is over. Jen and her daughter are staying with
her folks tonight. Her son and I are at home in bed. We are all
exhausted but I still might have a hard time sleeping. I am very
excited about tomorrow. I am so ready to be Jen's husband. I waited
my whole life thus far to find someone I could share everything with.
I finally have her and tomorrow I will pledge all of my life to come
to her. I love her, and anything less would be a disservice to that
love. 13.5 hours from now we will be married and our forever will
begin. I am thrilled about that. I cannot wait.

Until then, good night and sweet dreams.

Last night at 5:30 I officially went on vacation. Finally. Never have I needed it more than right now. Two weeks and one day off of work. I need this. Seriously, need it.

This morning we all got up early to get ready. We took my soon-to-be-step-son to his second day of First Grade Orientation. He flew into that classroom and practically dove to his seat. He is so excited. He’s even more excited then I am, and I am really excited for him.

In a few minutes Jen and my soon-to-be-step-daughter (26.5 hours until I an drop the soon-to-be) are going to get some pampering of the manicure and pedicure variety. I am picking up the First Grader at 11:30 and we’re going to my parents house for lunch. At some point after that the girls will join us.

Next we go to the hotel to drop off Jen and all of our mountain of stuff for the night. Then we head to the caterer to pick up the linens and take them to our 4:00 meeting at the reception hall. There we will finalize all of the reception details.

After that we head to the church for the rehearsal at 6:30 and then back to my folks’ house for dinner.

After that we take the girls back to the hotel and me and the junior usher will head home and go to bed.

Tomorrow we get up at the crack of dawn and start getting ready. We will get dressed at my parents’ house and be at the church by 11:00. Then at noon the magic happens and I become some woman’s husband, the most amazing woman I’ve ever met becomes my wife, and the soon-to-be is dropped from soon-to-be-step-kids.

On November 18, 2008 I started this blog in the hope that I would be able to update it daily. So far I have been able to do that, with many of them moving to the private side in the great security minded purge. I don’t know if I will be able to continue that between tomorrow and the end of the honeymoon but I will try.

Tomorrow it happens.

Let the craziness begin!
