Rinsefirst

As many of you know, I have been slowly but surely migrating my clients, friends, and self to new hosting. This was done primarily as a decision to stop doing web hosting all together.

It’s weird though. I loved hosting these sites. I mean the late night trips to minneapolis weren’t all that fun. And the idea that at any moment in my life a server could quit on me and I would be forced to stop what I was doing to get it back up. You never really knew when one would act up… no matter how new.

But still, it sadden’s me to no longer be hosting sites like tumbledry. I mean, even before I had a webserver, I was hosting these guys…. It was just fun… And it was a pleasure to know that I was helping these guys out.

In any case… I write this solely because I just now read Alex’s August 11th post on Tumbledry… You will be missed… You all will be (including myself).

So I’m posting the first wave of photos regarding our honeymoon and wedding. Below are all the photos that I am aware of that exist of us from Disney. IE: all the photos we took with our iphone, camera, or had taken by Disney Photographers. Wedding Photos Coming soon…

For those of you who want to know the secret of short lines at Disney, listen up.

It’s not getting their early, or staying late (although that helps).

It’s not making perfect use Disney’s fast pass system.

It’s not bringing handicapped people so you can use the handicap entrances, or getting special VIP access or funny buttons like “Just Married”.

All of these things can help you cruise through lines, but really, there easiest way to get through the disney lines fastest is to make the lines as short as possible. How do you do this?

Go to Disney during a tropical storm or hurricane.

Amber and I did just that today… and I must admit, despite getting “a little” wet, we had a great time.

Just thought I would share that.

I apologize for the quality of this post. I’m writing it on my iPhone.

Amber and I have been on our honeymoon for close to a week now. So far, it has been a blast.

Ok Monday, we hit the magic kingdom. Amber wasn’t in the best of moods, but by the end of the day Disney had worked it’s magic and convinced her she was having a good time.

Tuesday, we hit typhoon lagoon. All we really did was the lazy river. The funny part was that the moment we put our stuff in the locker, it started raining. We also hit downtown Disney a little, as well as orlando’s prime outlets and some big indoor mall. Amber will be coming home with a whole new wardobe from the Gap and Puma.

Wednesday, was Epcot. We got there a little late, but it worked for us. Someone leaving the park had a dream pass with 3 uses left on it. Combined with regular fast passed, we were able to do almost everything in the park.

We ate at the coral reef restuarant which is one of the many spots they filmed boy meets world. It was pretty cool and we have lots of pictures to share because Ashley sent amber her camera via mail (we had left it at home).

Amber loved illuminations, epcots fireworks show. It was pretty good.

We then caught the monorail to magic kingdom and hit 5 more rides. All of which amber loved. It’s amazing how easy it is to get ok rides when everyone is watching fireworks.

Thursday we took our first trip to universal studios. Amber and I had a good time but there is something about Disney that universal just hasn’t captured. We dined at the hard rock cafe where Amber picked up a pinned and a glass.

From there we went to blue man group. That was awesome. We had some of the best seats in the house. They put us right in the action. It was great. So far the biggest highlight for me.

Friday, we hit animal kingdom. Amber loved this place and probably wore out her digital camera. Amber didn’t want to hit the roller coaster here but we did almost everything else. Afterwards, we went and picked up our tickets for la numba as well as took a 30minute walk around Disney quest. We then stopped by another outlet mall where we again hit the gap and puma.

And so now, it’s Saturday. It was looking to be a sunny day when I started writing this, but now it’s raining. Amber is still sleeping. It’s been a great week. More most likely when I get home.

Right now I am laying in bed with my iPhone.

The rehersal dinner went really well. Lots of good food. I was hoping we would get to take some home, but alas green mill didn’t allow it, which as stupid. We paid for it.

My computers are now at the townhouse. From here on out, that’s what we will call home. After all, home is where the computer is. Right?

My laptop is with me. Thanks to my great timing, it seems my hard drive had decided to quit. Perhaps I really won’t bring a laptop on the honeymoon.

Well, I best get some sleep. Goodnight bachelor blog,

So rinsefirst crew. The next phase of my life is coming, and I really have no clue what it means for this blog.

There’s been some talk of it becoming a subset of ourvows (which will become our family website). And who knows, maybe it will just continue to operate as it does now… Hey not everything needs to change right?

It’s strange looking around my room. My bed, gone. My Desk, gone. My video game collection, gone. All that’s left is a few boxes, my computers, and a makeshift twin sized bed. I suppose I could take a photo, but I like the imagery instead.

But I do know this, I’m feeling beat. I’ve been running at breakneck pace with work related things, wedding related things, and family related things. None of it really bad, it just keeps coming.

I haven’t even had time to play Pirates, or learn how to program my iphone.

But yeah… So why am I blogging? Because I know I need to slow down.. and this is my way of doing it.

But ok, I’m done typing now. Laterz.
