A lot has happened since the site was last updated way back in July. We have since moved to Panama City, FL. I have started a new job, and Savana has started staying home more to take care of the house and pets. I just restored the site from a backup we took before the move, but I don't have a copy of the database. That means that the gallery and comment system are down until I can restore that functionality.
UPDATE: The gallery has been fixed. Enjoy.

Support the Heart Walk
I'll be walking in the Heart Walk this year, and I'm pulling together donations. Please consider donating for this wonderful cause.
We recently lost a co-worker, Steve Hirst, to a heart attack this year. He passed away shortly after snorkeling in Key West. I'm sure many others have similar stories about a friend or family member lost to some sort of heart disease.
While raising the most money is usually awarded with prizes, I have opted out of all prizes to enable as much as the donations as possible to go to the Heart Association's work.

Lots of New Photos
We've uploaded a bunch of wedding pictures to the website. We hope you'll pick out some of your favorites and leave your comments. Please note that the Raw Photos are not the final shots from the photographer. We will upload those as soon as they come available.

15 Minutes of Fame
Savana and I (with tons of help from our family) spent a long time planning the wedding. Over a year of planning and preparation went into the ceremony, and it surprised us both when everything seemed over in about 15 minutes! The whole experience seemed surreal.
We both want to thank everyone for coming, and for the wonderful gifts. We had an excellent honeymoon thanks to you. We would also like to thank everyone who helped us prepare the church and organize the event. We would like to thank the church for hosting the event, and we would especially like to thank Charlie Bradshaw for performing the ceremony.
A spam bot has started spamming the comment system, so I've had to turn it off. I'll see about sorting that out, and maybe we'll get the comment system back up. Also, keep an eye out on our Photo Gallery for honeymoon and wedding photos. We'll be posting them as they are developed.

All jokes aside . . .
We've been really busy here lately, working on the wedding and doing a lot of travel. For those that don't know, the previous announcement was an April Fool's Joke. I hope everyone got a good chuckle out of our mischief.
The wedding is right around the corner, and things seem to be shaping up really nice, thanks to the wonderful help we have been receiving from our families. We went to the courthouse yesterday and picked up our wedding license as well.
We'll be back in Milton this coming weekend to finalize a lot of the preparations. Then it's back for a few day of work before we head back to Milton Wednesday night.
As you can see on the calendar, we are setup for a few busy days before the wedding. The rehearsal dinner is on Thursday at 3:30 PM, and we'll be decorating the church afterwards. Friday, Trent and Jarod will be preparing the food, and all the loose ends will be tied up.
We hope to see everyone at the wedding, and don't forget to take a look at our Registry Page for gift ideas!

Bundle of Joy!
We are going to be blessed with a baby in approximately 8 months! It is quite unexpected, and we are both nervous, but it is a welcome event none the less. Even though we don't know the gender of the baby, please leave any name suggestions in the comments below. We have our fingers crossed for a girl :)
We'll now be using the Wishing Well at the reception as a Baby Well to help celebrate. We will schedule a Baby Shower and post it here. It will be sometime after the Wedding, and we hope you can attend.
Until then, here is a nice baby name website to give you ideas! Babynames.com We are both very happy, and hope you share in our Joy! :)

Wedding Shower
A big thank you to everyone who came to our wedding shower Saturday. It was a wonderful event, and we also want to thank Savana's mother and sister for organizing the event.
We hope you enjoyed the party games, and the chocolate cake. You can also find the music videos online on YouTube.

New Server and AMV
We've moved the website to a new server! You should see increased speeds and faster loading times. A big thanks to FAIA for letting me colocate the server in their facilities.
Jeri has been hard at work on her AMV's. I've embedded her most recent work below.

New Pictures and Comment System
Our Gallery now has some adorable pictures of Savana and Justin from when they were kids. Go take a look, and leave some comments under your favorite picture! In a similar motion, you can now comment on the news articles we have been posting here.
Savana's sister, Jeri, has been working on some Anime Music Videos (aka AMV's) for our Wedding Shower. We've linked one below.

So much to do, so little time . . .
I'm finally getting my wedding dress altered tomorrow! I'm so excited and nervous and stressed, but mostly excited. :) Don't worry, I will take pictures of me in my wedding gown after the alterations to share with anyone who emails me and asks for them. I can't post them here or Justin will see. We can't have any bad omens this close to the wedding! Thank you to everyone who has been leaving such wonderful comments in our gallery. All of you are so sweet! Also, thank you to everyone who has sent emails in congratulations. Justin and I are so blessed to have such great friends and family. Please don't forget to RSVP online or snail mail if haven't already. One last thing, we're planning our reception menus. If you have a favorite snack food please let us know! Thanks everyone!

Music and Gallery
We've added a media player to the side of the site that plays our wedding song, Don't Want to Miss a Thing by Aerosmith. The photo gallery is now active on the site as well. Enjoy!
Unfortunately, Aerosmith had other obligations and cannot attend the reception.

Invitations & RSVP
If you have been paying attention to the calendar, you already know the invitations are going out today. Thanks to a 4 hour printing and stuffing session last night, everyone will get their invitation and RSVP card on time. Please be sure to RSVP so we know you are coming!
If the old snail mail method of RSVP doesn't suite your fancy, I've setup a digital RSVP below. Be sure to tell us who you are and how many total guests are coming (including yourself!)
