The Year of the Zombie

One of the things I quickly learned about Rhett is his love of zombies. He loves zombie movies, zombie books, zombie comics, zombie knick knacks, zombie zombie zombie... Wow. I can't say that I fully comprehend his love/obsession with zombies but I have come to appreciate the fun of it at the least. This summer I was quite surprised to learn that Rhett is not alone in his zombie-love as this year we participated in the zombie walk in Fremont. They were trying to break the world record of the most people dressed as zombies in one place. There were 4,233 zombies in attendance which beat out the previous winner from the Big Chill Music Festival in England. It was hilarious - old zombies, young zombies, baby zombies, pet zombies, even a storm trooper zombie. Who knew that so many people dig zombies?

Here we are in our zombie best:


To top off the year's zombiefest we decided to attend the zombcon's zombie prom for Halloween. Since Rhett's favorite 'holiday' is Halloween you can imagine that combining his two loves made for a heavenly evening. Here are some pics of us with our zombie cronies.

Rhett and I had a mini getaway this weekend to San Francisco. Although the trip was short we had a wonderful time.

Wedding 'Reception'

Since Rhett and I eloped we wanted to have a small celebration with our friends. We rented out the small but charming space in the back of our favorite neighborhood wine bar. We had our own private wine tasting, shared some yummy food, and viewed our wedding photos on a slide show. Many thanks to our lovely friends for helping us celebrate our marriage!

Domo!

We added the latest addition to our family this weekend - Domo Arigato or 'Domo' as we call him. This is the name his original family gave him and it suits him well. He is a 1 year old Bengal. Now anyone who knows me knows that I have never been or thought I would ever be a cat person. But since Rhett is and I know how a good marriage involves compromise, I decided to be open minded about Rhett's desire to get a cat. Rhett chose him since Bengals generally don't cause reactions for those like me who have cat allergies. I admit that I have been a bit cautious towards and indifferent about cats but Domo has quickly won me over. He is super sweet and is even warming up to our little spazz Bisou pretty well. Here are a few cute pics:

Here are more pictures from the wedding weekend. My family stayed in a beautiful beach home in the picturesque town of Seabrook. John made us a scrumptious pasta dinner the night before the wedding.
