We haven't blogged since the wedding because we've been busy recovering, honeymooning and now back to real life. But we want to thank you all so, so, so much for celebrating our wedding with us. It was an amazing day and an incredible weekend.
Now what you have all been waiting for... some amazing photos from Jessica Hill. Check out her photo blog. Feel free to comment on her blog, she loves it.
Lizzie also created a Shutterfly site for everyone to share photos that they took at the wedding: kimybrianwedding.shutterfly.com. You can upload your photos and share with everyone. Thanks Lizzie.

Logistics
We can't believe the wedding is coming up this week. So many of you (like us) are probably of a suddenly wondering about some of the logistics.
When?
The wedding ceremony begins at 4:00 pm at the Pine Cone Bluff at the Resort at the Mountain. The music will go until 10 pm, but since many of you are staying at the hotel the party will likely go on for longer.
How long will it take to get there?
NOTE: There will likely be traffic in Portland on Friday afternoon at 3pm, so plan accordingly.
From Portland (downtown): approx. 1 hour 10 minutes
From PDX Airport: approx. 1 hour 5 minutes
From Seattle: 3 hours 45 minutes (could be extra because of construction on I-205 near Portland)
From the Oregon Coast (Seaside): 2 hours 30 minutes
From Condon: 2 hours 50 minutes (there shouldn't be much traffic)
From Chicago: 1 day 10 hours (hopefully most of you took a flight!)
Directions?
From Portland
From PDX Airport
From Seattle
From SeaTac Airport
From Oregon Coast
From Condon

Transportation?
Your best bet may be a rental car if you are travelling with a few others and can split the cost. Otherwise, you should be able to set up a town car or small bus shuttle out to the resort (probably would cost ~$80 each way). Here are some options.

Engagement Photos
We met our wedding photographer, Jessica Hill, a few weeks ago in Portland and she took some photos of us... mostly goofing around. She posted some photos on her BLOG.
Jessica also created a video that she has been experimenting with. Check out the video here. The music is sweet.
The wedding is coming so fast! We are getting really excited to see everyone.

The Life and Times of KimyBrian, Chapter Two: Road Trip!
If you haven't heard the news, we just bought a new car (actually a van) in Colorado and drove it back to Seattle this past weekend. It was a great trip. We started in Ft. Collins, CO at Troy and Jen's house. We got to visit friends long the way in Bozeman, Missoula and Spokane. Here is a compilation of video clips from our road trip. I'll warn you, it is a little long (about 10 minutes). We had plenty of time to take video!

Chicago Shower Weekend
We spent Memorial Day weekend in Chicago and had a great time at the Aunts' shower on Saturday and the Rock Shower (don't ask us to explain what this is) on Sunday. The Bennetts (minus Will, who had to work) made the trip to celebrate with us. It was a great, action-packed weekend. Here is a little clip from the weekend.

Mr. Brian
A few weeks ago, my Junior and Senior ELL class asked if they could have a party, and if the guest of honor could be my fianceé. The party was on Thursday and Brian got time off of work to spend the morning with us! The party became a Senior graduation celebration/Ms. Bennett and Mr. Brian wedding shower.
We had a giant spread of food. Sambusa, Filipino food, chips, juice, soda, rice, cake, you name it! All at 9 in the morning.
The students have just started a research project about careers, so we had Brian talk to them about his job. It is such a novelty these days to see someone who got a job in the field they trained for in college. It was great for my students because they got to see an example of the amount of school someone might need in order to go into a solid career. All of the students loved it.
The whole office staff and Nathan Hale also has a crush on Mr. Brian now...
It was nice to share a bit of my life with my students.
Love to you all!

Kim and Brian's super busy Saturday
In response to the request of the wonderful Miss Laura Huysman, I must tell you all about our super busy Saturday. Watch out, Knot.com! All of those little alarm clocks next to my to-do list won't even see what's coming for them.
We started our day at Mighty-O's, as we do most Saturdays, and we were pleasantly surprised when we ran into Laura and Brian Dower who joined us for breakfast number two. Laura recently returned from South America and it was so fun to hear and share stories. Brian got restless around 11:30 and we had to take off. It was going to be a super busy Saturday.
First stop: Bed, Bath, and Beyond
We registered up a storm! Cook ware, Tupperware, towels, you name it!
Second stop: The Tux Shop
Ha ha, Brian! Your cover is blown! We are still waiting on a final decision, but it was a good start. It was funny to see a tux shop after seeing so many wedding dress stores. The tux shop had college football flags all over the walls, and a catalog of tuxedos that definitely had not been updated since the late 80's. Brian did well.
Third stop: REI
Brian bought a new watch band. Not too exciting. But we did decide that REI would be an awesome place for people to visit if they decide to checkout Portland and Seattle during their West Coast visit.
Fourth stop: Home
Home maybe doesn't sound super busy, but we went straight to work and registered for things from REI online. We also checked out photographers (another looming thing on our list).
After such a busy Saturday, we recovered with margaritas, entomatadas and mole negro from La Carta. What else could we ask for.
Brian, of course, needs extra time to recover and is off to spend the day in the mountains.
