Sky high update: Kind of funny that my previous posts’ name still portrays how I feel after this weekend. No, I did not find the car of my dreams – still looking. But, I did get all 549 of our wedding photos late Friday night from our fabulous photographer, Mark Kegans. Once again, I will try not to gush too much about how great he is – but seriously, he’s THE BEST! Even though I had to be up early the next morning to stain our deck before it got crazy hot and humid outside, I stayed up and went through each frame and basically relived our wedding day. I will be sure to post my faves when I receive the disc of images later on this week.

It was hot, hot, hot this weekend, but that didn’t keep me indoors. Deck staining on Saturday, and pool and BBQ with friends on Sunday. Gotta embrace the Iowa summer!

Deck stain, more like neck strain! Glad to be done with that. A HUGE thank you to my dad for helping out!

BBQ fixins

One of THE favorite dishes of the day was the strawberry couscous salad. I’m still having dreams about this one and I can’t wait to make it again!

These next couple of days are supposed to be even hotter than the last few (how is that even possible?), so my plan is to hit the pool after work to cool off and unwind – and hopefully get in the right mindset to bite the bullet and finally finish our wedding thank yous. We get a year, right?
