Pre-wedding goodness

 Before Justin and Lilita tied the knot beneath the towering trees, we stayed at their place in Chico for three nights and helped out with final wedding preparations.  The shot above is of Mt. Shasta behind an S2F, which is one of the planes that Eric's dad flew while in the Navy.

Because fall had already made its appearance in Oregon, it was especially wonderful to drink coffee on the front porch glider, enjoying the warmth and marveling at the clear sky before the day go too hot.  Mid-90s in late September seems crazy hot!

Some shots of our days together, finalizing ceremony plans, visiting antique stores to find the perfect last details for our wedding outfits, packing the UHaul... not to mention late nights talking on the couch, pick-up basketball games and dinner by candlelight.  Just perfect.
