The New Site is Up!

Sharon & I just uploaded a completely redesigned version of our website! The new site has a link to photo galleries from the wedding, a full transcription of the ceremony, and information about getting wedding favors if you missed them at the reception—a CD with selected music from the wedding and reception, and herb & spice blends we got from Mountain Rose Herbs.

Take a look at http://sharonandtim.info and let us know what you think.

Our New England Excursion

This past weekend, Tim and I took a trip to New England. It had been a long time since we'd seen real seasons - with leaves changing colors and everything. The original intent of the trip was to see our friends William and Kate get married in central Massachusetts. We figured it would be a good opportunity to also see a big portion of Tim's family, many of whom were unable to join us for our wedding.

It was a nice chance for a Moore family reunion - and for me to meet most of these new family members for the first time. Tim's Mom organized a reception for us at the Sturbridge Host. We were treated to the same slideshow from the rehearsal dinner and I had also put one together from the professional wedding pictures.

Everyone was very nice, and I wish I'd had longer to get to know everyone. Unfortunately we were also in town on a somewhat sadder note. My Uncle Tom recently had a stroke, and that afternoon we visited him and my Aunt Cheri at a Rehabilitation Hospital in Rhode Island. The good news is that the stroke hit on the right side which means it affects motor skills, but not cognition. So he was still cracking jokes (asking the Nurses to bring him a Manhattan on the rocks), but is unfortunately largely confined to a wheel chair.

He was doing better than I'd expected though, and it sounds like he's making good progress, and everyone seems optimistic. It's not often I make it out to that neck of the woods, so I'm glad I got to visit while I could.

We got to sight-see around Boston a bit during our stay, but frankly we're also happy and relieved to be back home in San Francisco, where we don't have to drive, there's plenty of vegan food, nobody cares about the Red Sox, and I don't care what you say - it is WAY warmer.

ETA: If anyone else has pictures please send them to us, and we'll throw them up on flickr. Also edited to spell my husband's name correctly. Doh.
