The Wedding:
So the wedding is over, the cake has been eaten, and the honeymoon is a fond memory. I am officially Mrs. Spotanski and a resident of Omaha, Nebraska. It is strange not having to worry about the wedding or having to plan and coordinate a hundred things! The wedding was a complete blast! There ceremony began at 4, and I nearly cried through the whole thing (Martha's the only one who saw it, though :) ). Then we took some pictures and went to a park to take some pictures, and then right before the reception, Nick and I decided that we could wait no longer for a Mountain Dew, and so we ran to the gas station in our wedding outfits! LOL.
The reception was a great time, excluding the DJ. The guy got our names wrong when introducing us, and then had to keep asking what we wanted to do next. He was extremely disorganized and we decided that we could NOT recommend Showtime Music to anyone. However, aside from that, the food was great (bbq brisket sandwiches), the cake was awesome, and Nick's Dad's band really made our wedding a night to remember :)
The Honeymoon:
Nick and I had plans to leave Omaha for Durango, Colorado, by 11 a.m. the day after the wedding, however, we decided to stop back by the hotel to say thanks and good-bye to everyone before leaving. Then we had to come home to get our bikes, luggage, and last minute stuff; therefore, we didn't get on the road until 1 p.m. This put us into Colorado Springs (where we stayed Sunday night) around 10 p.m. or so. We made it to Durango the next day around 2:30 after a nervewracking drive through a mountain pass near the great divide, and so we just decided to relax that first day in Colorado. Tuesday we went white water rafting, and did some more shopping. All day Wednesday was designated to the Silverton/Durango Narrow Gauge Railroad which was neat, but a lot of riding (7 hours total :P). Thursday we went to Mesa Verde National Park and saw Anisazi (sp?) cliff dwellings. Friday morning we took a horseback ride and then went to Trimble Natural Hot Springs in the afternoon. Saturday, being the 4th of July we just bummed around town and then watched fireworks from our balcony that night. Sunday we drove home all in one day (16 hours!). All in all we had a great time!
After it All:
So this past week is the first I have spent at home as a married woman, and it really has been a pretty productive week! We have a pantry in our kitchen/front room and I have been working on cleaning all of the clutter out of it so that it can be used to put our food in and such. Needless to say our frontroom is full of crap that we have to clean up tonight before we leave tomorrow to get our puppy. It's nice feeling like we don't have to accomplish everything in one day, though :) This has been a long and kind of boring blog, but I wanted to type it all in one go, so I didn't forget :) I have posted a few pictures taken by me and my family at the wedding, and of the honeymoon, though, and will post some taken by the photographer soon! Enjoy!

Our hotel looked like Shakespeare's Globe Theatre!

We decided to eat out at a nice restaruant one night; this was Nick's choice of dinner: Trout and Potatoe :)
And my choice was a 8 oz. Sirloin :)
