What a fun four months it has been. I don't even know where to begin in catching up... At the end of August, we went to the wedding of our good friends Dave and Erin, who will be celebrating their one-year anniversary at our wedding next year! It was such a beautiful, wonderful wedding.
In September, we went to Las Vegas and had a great, HOT time. It was at least 100 degrees every day, but it was fantastic.
In October, we went home to Montana for a quick visit and to celebrate my Aunt Linda's and (new) Uncle Roger's wedding. They married on the bank of the Tongue River on a ranch near Birney, Montana. It was such a special wedding, and we all had a blast at their reception. Steve and I slept in a teepee at the ranch that night and the temperature dropped to 32 degrees! Steve wore a cowboy hat the entire weekend. Here are some pictures from our trip taken by cousin Jake, our family's unofficial photographer (who, I believe, is now available for hire!):
The very happy newlyweds!

In November, Steve and I both came down with H1N1 flu--not fun! Later in the month (after we were both well again), we hosted Thanksgiving dinner at our house for Leah, Brett and baby Stella. Since we don't have a dining room or a proper dining table, we all huddled around our coffee table and sat on the floor. Steve's superb turkey made up for the discomfort, though--it was the best I have ever eaten, despite having been accidentally cooked upside down.
So far, this month has been our busiest yet--we've gotten nearly all of our holiday gift shopping and wrapping done, we went to see the Nutcracker, attended another wedding, and we're gearing up for our first ever Chrismukkah party, coming up this Saturday.
I hope you all have been well and enjoy this holiday season! I promise to post again soon with some actual wedding-related developments.
Lots of love,
Kara

Sorry to hear about the H1N1, but glad to hear you're both feeling better:) Loving the western wedding theme and thought you might to hear a little more on our Say I Do wedding and honeymoon campaign. We'll be featuring the home of the horse whisperer in Billings. Here's a link if you like to follow our "Fairytrail tweets": http://bit.ly/560dlD

Dear Santa,
Please give me my dignity back for Chismukah. I promise not to wear a cowboy hat ever again.
Love,
Steve
