+ <h1>Dancing the Shag & Two Left Feet</h1>
+ <p>
+ Not all of my posts are huge, and they probably shouldn't be. Amy and I
+ had a really great time yesterday at Two Left Feet Dance Studio,
+ learning more about how to dance the Carolina Shag in preparation for
+ our wedding (which is in less than 20 days)! An enormous swing band is
+ going to play all of our favorites from the brass band/swing era, and
+ one of the easiest dances to do to that music is the Shag. I wrote a
+ paper on the Shag a few years ago for school but never actually learned
+ how to do it. The steps are simple for us to remember and it's easy
+ enough to add flair or mix it up so we look like we know what we're
+ doing during our first dance.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ We also got out to see the new Lion King remake and I can honestly say
+ it was worth it. If anyone's a Lion King purist, it's Amy. It's easily
+ been her favorite movie since she was a toddler, and to see it
+ tastefully redone almost 25 years after it was first released was
+ thoroughly enjoyable. There were minor alterations to literal sentences
+ in the script that all added some context to things that were always
+ kind of assumed in the original (clarification on Scar's backstory,
+ etc.). I did however feel like they were trying to throw Beyonce lines
+ the way a middle-schooler tries to turn a 500-word paper into a 700-word
+ paper. Regardless, it's definitely re-living the classic, not re-hashing
+ it.

+ <h1>Finally Found a Drink I Like</h1>
+ <p>
+ Anyone who knows me even slightly well probably knows that I don't
+ drink. And it's not out of moral obligation or anything like that. I
+ just plain can't stand the taste of alcohol. So it's no surprise that my
+ entire family has been trying to throw different alcoholic beverages in
+ my direction to see what sticks.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ But it finally happened! I finally found a drink with alcohol in it. And
+ not only did I not gag, but I genuinely enjoy it, think it tastes great,
+ and mix it myself.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ It's called <em>Blackberry Cream Soda</em>. It's just blackberries,
+ ginger ale, and spiced rum. It's darn good. And it's going to be the
+ signature drink at our wedding, whatever that means. All I know is I can
+ finally order something at a bar and that's cool by me.

+ <h1>I Married My Best Friend!</h1>
+ <p>
+ It was an inexplicable mixture of joy and butterflies getting to marry
+ my best friend. It was truly like a dream come true, so much so that it
+ drove me to tears multiple times. Now that we're on our honeymoon, it
+ feels simultaneously like everything and nothing has changed but I think
+ that's a good thing.

+ <h1>Obligatory COVID-19 Post</h1>
+ <p>
+ We're alive! All three of us: Amy, Clementine, and myself. We're doing
+ what we do best and that is being hermits with zero social contact.
+ That's pretty okay by us though because it lets us slow down from all
+ the fast-paced life changes we've made in the past few months.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ In January Amy and I bought a house! We couldn't have done it without
+ the wonderful help of everyone who gave us wedding gifts. We got a nice
+ little standalone place in Suffolk, much closer to where I work and
+ centrally located for Amy's tutoring business. We spent all of January
+ painting and prepping for the big move. Late January and early February
+ were all moving and unpacking and trying to get back in the groove.
+ Since the outbreak, we've been using the extra time at home to finish up
+ all the move-in projects we wanted to: finishing painting, putting up
+ shelves, hanging pictures, and rewiring electrical outlets.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Amy also finally got the chance to pursue her dream job: she started up
+ her own private tutoring business. She's been working hard with clients
+ all over Hampton Roads, from college students all the way to
+ first-graders. Business was booming before schools closed but I know
+ she'll bring it back once things have returned to normal again. No
+ worries though, she's spending this time helping William and Mary handle
+ remote operations and students in need. She's also [supposed to be]
+ writing her master's thesis so she can graduate in May but you know how
+ it is.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ We're also working through a family illness, which adds difficulty . We
+ expect a speedy recovery though and we're really excited for that.
+ All-in-all, we're really enjoying our lives as a happily married couple.
+ It's been about eight months now and I've enjoyed every minute of it:
+ the glad, the slightly stressed, and the overarching worry as the world
+ took a strange turn. But we're looking forward to a good Summer now. The
+ weather has turned nice -- really nice -- and Clementine is forcing us
+ to get outside. She's in love with her nice, big fenced-in yard and
+ refuses to come in after catching hoops most of the time.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>Stay safe, smart, and sane!</p>

+ <h1>Wedding Photo Debacle</h1>
+
+ <p>
+ At long last we have all of our wedding photos together! Unfortunately a
+ large portion of the professional ones were lost during editing but
+ we're extremely fortunate to everyone who took pictures throughout the
+ festivities so we have more to share! We hope you enjoy flipping through
+ them as much as we did! There is also a collection of the photos we took
+ while we were on our honeymoon on Mackinac Island, MI. It was an
+ absolutely magical place and truly the experience of a lifetime for us
+ to run away there. We're in contact with our videographer, who's working
+ on the final cut now.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Everything is available at the links down below. You can scroll through
+ the photos, view them in fullscreen, and even download them or share
+ them elsewhere. We hope you have as much fun flipping through them as we
+ did!
