Hey people, don’t feel bad for me. This is where I am blogging from:

You’ll never be caught at a hotel on some deserted island looking for contact solutions.

I thought I’d give you all a tour of where my fiance and I have decided to live. A newly built 2 bedroom 2 full bath apartment of a 4-family condo somewhere in NJ.
“Welcome~!”

The kitchen where I’ll be cooking most of the time and where my fiance will be doing dishes most of the time. Hee Hee~!
Are you going to the Caribbean, Bermuda, Panama, Mexico or Canada for your honeymoon next year? Now you’ll need a passport.
The Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 requires that by January 1, 2008, travelers to and from the Caribbean, Bermuda, Panama, Mexico and Canada have a passport or other secure, accepted document to enter or re-enter the United States.
thanks, christi!
Every month The Oprah Magazine features things that Oprah thinks are great in a feature called The O List. This month I loved these vibrant, stylish gym bags from Koie Products which have separate compartments for your shoes, clothes, ipod, etc. I’d really want this if my lazy ass actually worked out.
A great gift for the sporty bridesmaid, available in 6 colors for $75.

The TSA has updated what you can and can’t bring onto planes:
Travelers may now carry through security checkpoints travel-size toiletries (3 ounces or less) that fit comfortably in ONE, QUART-SIZE, clear plastic, zip-top bag.
After clearing security, travelers can now bring beverages and other items purchased in the secure boarding area on-board aircraft.
At the checkpoint travelers will be asked to remove the zip-top bag of liquids and place it in a bin or on the conveyor belt. X-raying separately will allow TSA security officers to more easily examine the declared items.
Some airports have implemented a prescreening program where you pay a yearly fee (around $100) and get fingerprinted, your eyeball scanned and a background check. You still have to go through a metal detector and get your bags scanned to get to the gate, but you don’t have to wait in line anymore.
Is that something you’d sign up for? I would.

That’s what Mr. Grasshopper’s grandmother said the day after the wedding. The Grasshoppers are back from Kauai, rested and married! Our wedding was better than I ever could have anticipated. We are still waiting on the rest of our professional photos, but here are a few to start:

Strutting down the aisle with my Dad. You may know him from such media channels as Fox 5 news, CBS, AM New York….

MAKE OUT!!

Alex + Karen = 4eva temporary tattoos. A gift from one of the groomsmen. They were a huge hit. Babies and grandparents were sporting them by the end of the evening.
