April 30th, 2006

It was a Sunday. The day after our wedding. It started out with gift opening. My family and Scott's family was present. All squished in our tiny living room, spilling over into the spare bedroom, kitchen, entry way, hallway and bathroom (if you have ever been to our house you are already aware of how ridiculous tiny it is). After a couple hours had past, and the gifts were all opened, everyone was making their way out the door, mom stayed to clean up for us as we were excited to hit the road for our honeymoon.
