After July 26, I’ll be one step closer to going to graduate school—or at least, to applying to graduate school. That’s the day I’ll take the Graduate Record Examination, a standardized test required by nearly every graduate school.

Between now and then, I’ll be studying for the test. I haven’t decided how frenetic I’ll be about preparing, but at I will at least take every practice test I can lay my hands on.

As promised, here is the first installment of wedding photos. We hope you enjoy looking at them. More will follow.

These photographs were all taken by John Barnett.

Philip Eoute has made a fun video of the demolition of Rodeheaver Auditorium’s lobby. Watch for the workers walking on top of the first floor at the same time that the backhoe is whacking away at the second floor.

Yesterday around noon, crews demolished the front of Rodeheaver Auditorium at BJU in order to make room for the new front that will be built. Although the demolition wasn’t quite as momentous as the Giraffe of last year, the Greenville News still posted 45 pictures of the demolition on its website. Included in those pictures is one of my brother Anthony. :)

Abby and I are back to Greenville after a wonderful honeymoon in Atlanta. We’ve spent the last few days moving into our apartment, changing Abby’s name, and attending to the details of married life—as well as having fun.

I’ve heard indirectly that some of our long-time readers are clamoring for photographs. We promise to have photos of and posts about the honeymoon and the wedding ceremony just as soon as we can. In the meantime, here is a photo of us watching an Atlanta Braves game.

Today is our wedding day.

Well, my exams are done for the semester as of 4:50. Lincoln still has one tomorrow, and I still have to enter grades, but starting now, I basically go into wedding gear. :)

Incidentally, the wedding is one week from today.

I’ve spent the last couple days planning for the honeymoon. I’ve had the hotel reservations and tickets for several months, but I wanted to arrange everything into a comprehensive itinerary. When traveling, nothing should be left to chance.

I found a useful website called TripIt. You can forward confirmation e-mails to TripIt, and it automatically extracts the important information into an itinerary. You can also add other plans, notes, documents, and maps and directions from Google Maps. TripIt mixes in weather forecasts too.

I’ve done most of the planning myself, but Abby has edited parts of it. If I were planning a trip with many people, TripIt’s collaboration features would be very useful. You can share itineraries so that everyone can see what’s planned.
