Mexican Night at the Nolen House

So Karis and I got married on May 30, the ceremony was amazing and so was the reception. Thank you to everyone who helped out, and for all of you who were able to make it (but we also understand if you couldn't come).

And then on Sunday,the 31st, we moved down to Shepherdstown, West Virginia (not too far from Harper's Ferry). It's a small, historic town - it claims to be the oldest town in West Virginia - and is made up of mostly hippie-granola-outdoorsy types and "artsy-new age" people (according to an aunt of mine (and she's pretty much right)); luckily right now it's also pretty quiet around town, since it's the summer and most of the students at the university have gone home.

The area around town isn't very developed and has an old, back country feel to it.

Karis and I both love it, the town and the surrounding area.

Oh, and then in June from the 2nd-8th, Karis and I went on a honeymoon to Lums Pond in DE. Neither Karis or I had spent much time in Deleware, and we had both wanted to go somewhere where we could spend a lot of time outdoors. We rented a yurt for the week, which included a strange looking two person kayak.

Since then we've been "nesting" and trying to settle in, and then this week I started working. It's still a little hectic around here, trying to get everything all figured out and organized.

Karis was at the DMV for most of yesterday (maybe she'll tell you about it) and she traded in her New York license for a West Virginia one.

Here's a link to some pictures the photographer took:

Enjoy.
