After 37 years of life and several stormy relationships, I finally found the right girl for me.

She’s able to put up with my bullshit, ribbing, holds many of the same interests I do, and even calls me her dork. Oh, and my folks love her.

The wedding was last Sunday, Sept 20th, at Lake Wilderness Lodge in Maple Valley, and the weather couldn’t of been any more perfect. Bright blue skies with just a few soft white clouds floating around the sky. The guests loved the food and free drinks.

Only issue we had was with the beer kegs. It seems the regulator wasn’t working correctly.

More of the wedding pics will be made avail as we get through them and start receiving them from others. As will our honeymoon pics.

Speaking of honeymoons. We went to Walt Disney World and had a blast. We hit up the Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Epcot, Typhoon Lagoon, and the pool quite a bit.

Hot and humid it was and only rained on the last night there.

Down poured is more like it. We were drenched, not just wet, within about 5 minutes.

But overall, everything was perfect. And I wanted to thank my family, Meg’s family, and all our friends for their support and contributions of all sorts. It means alot to the both of us!

Now, if only I can get used to this ring. :p

Last saturday, while walking down the hallway, I bent over to pick up something and had a sharp pain in me lower back and my legs buckled. On the floor I was and I couldn’t get up.

I spent a good 5-10 minutes trying to, but everytime I moved my legs, my lower back hurt like hell and would spasm. I think this had something to do with the night before when I had turned to grab something and felt a small pop and a twinge in my lower back.

But anyways, I luckily had my cell with me and called Meg who rushed home with Tim to help me get up. By then, I had crawled my way to the couch in the living room, but couldn’t even get up on that. A few hours later, I was able to at least crawl on my hands and knee’s, but not stand. So Meg took me to the ER, which really didn’t do much. Just a shot of morphine and that was it. It was hell getting in and out of the car as well.

I was able to get on my feet with the help of my cane a day later and have now been able to walk around at least. Still constant pain in that area of my back though. I can only bend over so far and the left leg seems to be far weaker then my right one. Usually get a shooting pain down it when I walk.

Spine Doc called today and wants to see me Thurs. I’m starting to think he’s going to say surgery. /sigh

We shall see.

In other news, Wedding invites went out. Glad that’s over with.

Its been rather busy at work lately due to the digital transistion that happened back a few weeks ago. We were needed to work a few extra days. So I ended up working 6 days, 1 off, then 4 more. That doesn’t include the hours beyond the normal 10 each day. Its been fun.

Updates.

Started aquatic physical therapy after the Doc said I should wait a year, year and half, to see how my back progresses. If we did the surgery, I would lose quite a bit of mobility in my lower back. By then, there should be some new procedures that have been approved for back surgery.

Got the caterer it looks like finally locked in.

Place for the wedding is paid for in full.

And helping someone who then stabs you in the back sucks ass.

That is all for now, other then finding out that I accidently washed my bluetooth in the wash. Hope it works after it dries out.

Photographer, we’re in talks right now with Fancy Fin Photography who does some amazing work and came recommended.

And we booked our honeymoon this weekend to Disney World.

Other then that, we already had the place, officator, colors, etc, done. Now just to get the invites finished.
