Well… at least in my opinion. But most people would disagree.

But either way, this past year I’ve jumped back into hockey after an eight year break. I grew up playing Junior B hockey, but had put my skates away for the foreseeable future.

But then I busted them back out. And it’s been a blast.

This summer season our team played as close to awful as possible. We went 2-9-1.

Horrible.

But we pulled our crap together just in time for the playoffs, beat the number one seed and found ourselves in the finals. We lost 1-0, but had a ridiculously good time doing it. Here’s a few pics that Whitney snapped the other night.

Random thought… is anyone irritated by how when watching the Olympics on the West coast it constantly says ‘Live’, but I can definitely look up the results online far before they are ‘Live’ on TV? Stupid. Don’t lie to me NBC. I’m not stupid.

Second random thought…. I do the majority of my blog posting during the 23rd hour of the day. Hmmm.

The moment that Whitney first met Nena, she knew this wedding would be an absolute blast. And we weren’t let down in the least. Ridiculously. Awesome.

They went for a black and white wedding, so we went for a little black and white sneak peak.

Enjoy.

Travis+Nena… Wow. You guys are incredible. Your hearts, passion, style and flava are ridiculous. Your wedding far exceeded the high expectations we had in the phenomenal category. Thanks for letting us be a part! You rocked our faces off. And I didn’t even know that was possible.

Here’s a little sneak peak from the ridiculously awesome wedding of Deron+Melissa. They just so happened to be the very first folks to book us in good ol’ Seattle. And I’m not sure if they even knew that. :)

Deron+Melissa… we couldn’t be more thrilled to have gotten to know you both (and Marcus) over the past few months. You are an incredible joy to be around and have an incredible family full of more smiles and laughs than one can handle alone! We could not have asked for a better start to working in Seattle!

Today is my little brothers 21st birthday and I wanted to send him some internet love! His name is actually Aaron, but has long been called Merlin by our nieces and it stuck with the rest of the world. Merlin is currently living in Florida, and it has been way too long since we’ve seen his cute little face.

So here’s to the best little brother I could ever ask for! We love you bro! Happy Birthday!

Normally our Sundays are filled with nothing. Nada. Typically we’re busy trying to recover from the day before. And although we need a day of recovery after our spankin’ awesome wedding yesterday… we have far too much to accomplish in such little time.

So here is a sneak peak into our Sunday…

So far, everything’s got a little check next to it.. minus the hockey game that is starting T minus one hour. And the clean the office part. That’s just a disaster.

I’d say we gave Sunday a pretty solid kick in the pants.
