Sedona
So the wedding bells chimed, the bouquet was tossed, the garter came off (and surprisingly went onto Zach's head), the rings are on our fingers and the absolute mad-house craziness of my wedding is finally over with.
That's right all you cool cats, this is Arty comin' at you from Sedona.
It's just a note, really, to let you know that we made it to Phoenix in one piece (almost!). It was a bit rough on landing, which was not (I repeat...NOT) okay with me. But thankfully it was just as we were getting within two thousand feet of the runway. We got our rental car with a free upgrade to a Nissan Murano. I know. Even I can't believe I'm driving an SUV. To be fair, though, it does ride like a dream.
The drive north to Sedona was absolutely beautiful. And you knew when you got to red rock country. Oh man, was it breathtaking. I love me some red rock country. It reminds me of Colorado.
So, a few things I've noticed whilst here today:
1) Arizona has lovely roads.
2) Arizona has it together when it comes to speed limits. It's generally 55 mph through the cities and then it gets bumped up to 75 mph in the country. We were rocking and rolling.
3) Red rock is even prettier at sunset. We're going to see what it looks like during sunrise while we're here.
4) There are strange birds wandering around.
5) Same as above, only with giant insect life (NOT okay!).
6) The desert, although hot during the day (it was a toasty 94 degrees upon our arrival to Phoenix), it rocks at night. And I mean, ROCKS. It's cold outside and the stars are everywhere.
7) Most of Arizona doesn't observe daylight savings time. I know. Weird. So although we're technically an hour ahead of California, we're still the same time right now because California lapsed into a spring forward mode.
And now, even though it's only 9pm, I'm exhausted, so over and out from Sedona. More tomorrow.
Later Days,
Arty

It would be highly unfair of someone to remind you of a conversation we had some time ago where you directed your considerable wrath towards young women who unnecessarily drive SUVs.
Oh.
Really glad to hear you had a great day and successfully made your way to the desert. We want to see pictures! Of giant insects!

I'm glad you two made it safely to Arizona. While you were enjoy red rocks at sunset I was doing 4 loads of laundry. Such is the glamorous life of those of us not on honeymoon.
Enjoy your time away.

Considering SOME of us didn't attend the wedding, I'd shut your cake hole. I hate you. HATE!
How's Londontown then?
