Married & have a little one on the way ...

Well, I have some big news! I'm married and Liz is pregnant!

Liz and I were originally planning on getting married in Mexico next March. However, because it is almost impossible to get married in Mexico our plan was to just get married here in Phoenix the week before we leave to Mexico. Then I got a new job and Liz lost the health insurance plan we had at Blackboard through the domestic partner agreement since my new company doesn't have it. So we decided it would be best to just get married now.

We got married on November 3rd with our parents and grandparents at a small courthouse in Phoenix. This was the first time that our parents had meet and we all went to dinner afterwards. The judge "Rebecca MacBeth" married us and did a wonderful job. We honestly were expecting to walk in, sign some papers, and walk out. But this judge read a Shakespeare sonnet, did our vows, and then read this Apache Wedding Chant at the end that was really cool. It was a wonderful night!

So after this, our plan was to still go to Mexico for our ceremony and celebration. Then on November 17th, we found out that Liz is pregnant. While this wasn't expected, we are both very very excited. We weren't really going to try for kids until sometime next year... But this is something that we both have always wanted and can't wait. Right now it's very early in the process since Liz is only 6 weeks along. Once we see a doctor in December we'll know more about our plans and will sent out invitations to our reception.

Now that we know we're going to have a baby we think our trip to Mexico will be cancelled. We think that it's the best decision for the safety and health of our new little one. We'll probably just have a reception here in Phoenix and another party in Maryland for Liz's family.

Anyways, if anyone has any questions or just wants to chat then please give us a call!

Google goodness!

The Google Web toolkit (GWT) now has a friend to help him along.

GWT's friend is a GUI editing plugin for eclipse that allows one to quickly create web applications that act more like desktop applications. The plugin is called GWT Designer by instantiations.

Have fun hacking away!
