So we’re home. And it’s back to reality with a thud. (A bit like the thud when I backed the car into the electrical box across the driveway this afternoon. Yay me!)
\nWe arrived home on Saturday afternoon. It’s been a bit of a downer, really. I just want to go back to Hawaii! We were greeted by this lovely arrangement from the family, however.

\nHere’s a better look at the gorgeous flowers.

\nThere was also some bubbly, chocolates and groceries, which made coming home a bit nicer!
\nHere’s a picture of our wedding flowers.

\nRose bouquets, and pikake and rose lei’s for Emily and I. They smelt heavenly! Unfortunately, they didn’t last very long and we didn’t get to bring them home. We did bring home David’s lei, which is currently at quarantine being fumigated or whatever it is that they do.
\nWe don’t have official wedding pictures yet, they weren’t ready before we left, so they’re being mailed out to us, so I guess it’ll be a week or so before we get them.
\nI did indeed wear my Fern Garden Stole. Emily wore the same dress as I, but in pink, with the Hanging Garden Stole.

\nIt’s apple cider, I swear! (But it made her feel very grown up!)
\nWe actually got married on Papailoa Beach, about 150 metres away from the Lost set. Yes, we’re geeks! It really was a lovely ceremony, and a beautiful day, thank you all for your good wishes!
\nI did actually manage to finish my socks in our last days in Hawaii. Here they are, reclining in hammock on the beach with my wedding bouquet.

\n(It’s a hard life!)
\nI also got quite a lot done on the So Called Scarf.

\nNow I really need to get to work on the Shetland Shawl. I’ve entered it into the Royal Easter Show, and I’m not sure yet if I can get it done before then!
\nAnd guess who came home last night?
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nIt’s a slimmer, trimmer Twinkie! Lara’s<\/a> house really was the equivalent of a bunny fat camp. Twinkie won’t admit it, but she’s feeling much better, she’s been running and playing in the yard all day, and it’s really been some time since we’ve seen her run much!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
