Sorry for the temporary hiatus; two of my beloved friends got married this weekend. Arian and Lindsey Hakim are enjoying being newlyweds in the Bahamas; I'm in Charleston, WV, updating my blog. Easy to see who got the better end of the deal! :) The wedding was beautiful -- a joyous celebration, indeed. Congratulations, friends -- I love you both so much!
In other news, I thought you might find it funny to see just how different men and women can be -- or, at least, how different my husband and I are. Here's a small demonstration on how a husband and wife pack toiletries for a week away from home:
His:
-deodorant
-toothbrush
-razor
-shaving cream
Hers (in no particular order):
-deodorant
-toothbrush
-razor
-shaving cream
-floss
-toothpaste
-contact solution
-contacts
-eye makeup remover
-face makeup remover
-face wash (2 kinds)
-clarifying lotion
-acne medicine
-cough drops
-shampoo (2 kinds)
-birth control
-brush
-spray-on hair conditioner
-perfume
-lotion
-cold medicine
(I think I got everything.)
Good times, yes? :)
That's all I have for you... there's some watermelon calling my name in the kitchen. If I don't hurry, I'll lose my chance!
Hooray for weddings, husbands who pack too little (wives who pack too much?) and long weekends in Charleston!

Beth,
I hear ya on the male vs female packing issue... women are just prepared and men just hope for the best. Tim and I are in the midst of packing for 6 weeks and it's a scream to see just how different our packing priorities are. But I fear, no matter how long you are married, this will not change for the better. It will only get worse once children come along.
Hope you are having a happy-long-weekend-away!

Beth,
That packing thing was hilarious. Wes has it figured out - bare essentials. I like how he packed toothbrush but no toothpaste. I also enjoyed the small sandwich bags that were too small for any of his items.
Wes - you at least have to go with some freezer bags!
Beth-
After being Bethany's maid of honor, I am ALL about wedding planning as a job! I seriously said to Bryan, "I could be a wedding planner or coordinator or something like that and NOT wait tables!"
We should start a business ;)
I miss you!
Beth,
Let me state that even though Wes didn't pack those items, he sure used them.
-Toothpaste (what good is a tooth brush without toothpaste)
-brush (we'll pretend he brushes his hair)
-face wash (please Wes your clear skin comes from somewhere)
-shampoo (one was probably for him in the first place)
-my personal favorite: birth control, if you didn't remember it, he probably would ;)
love!
Jenn
