mission complete

I'm happy to say that what Michael and his Marine buddies had been calling "Operation Clara Black" has been successful. I've never seen a happier couple on their wedding day.

I can't wait for the rest of the pictures to get back so that I can show you all the fantastic decorations...I may have a problem, but I just never get tired of looking at wedding pictures.

It was so nice to be home with the rest of the family too...when Gracie said she wasn't going to stay up for us to finish our drive to Hillsdale Will requested a 700-800 word note waiting for us instead (she has a history of leaving us pretty hilarious notes). This was her answer:

Please notice the word count in the lower left. I think 980 of those words are "love". The handwritten note is her taunting Will with her super nerdy periodic table blanket she got from her chemistry club...but you can tell they're BFF's because in her signature she embraces the fact that he calls her "the baby child" - no one else can get away with teasing her for being the youngest.
