Aside from the sudden surplus of wedding photos (hey I needed like 3 month break from all things wedding) I have been exactly the same. I work everyday and then try to build up the energy to board the stinky train back to Brooklyn fighting all the way for a decent spot near the doors. Just the other day I got stuck on a train with the most foul of smells. Most of the time I can tuck my nose into my scarf and ride it out but this time it was impossible, it smelled like some one barfed into a poopy diaper and smeared it on their stinky armpits. All of the train cars were packed to such a point that it looked like the door might not close. It was the pits, literally the pits of hell. I survived but man oh man winter sure can bring all the stinkers in from the cold and deposit them on my daily commute home.
Speaking of winter I have become quite homesick for the south and the subtle seasonal changes. Don't get me wrong Fall is my favorite month but dang it New York get COOOOLD! I am a very sensitive little creature and the cold chills my bones.
Other than being cold I have to say life pretty much rocks. I love my husband and my dog. I love our apartment and I love that I am in Love.
I even found an amazing thing to occupy my unending need to create I am going to start taking classes at 3rd Ward in Williamsburg and get some website learnin in. I had to unplug my website recently. It was a hard decision to make but I am a married woman now and I had to make the choice to change my name professionally or not. I created an identity for myself as "Kimb James" and I have to re-brand somehow involving my new last name- Jammal. Which is pretty much just the Arab interpretation of James. Did I mention my husband's family is from Lebanon? Well I am in the process of adopting his name and filling out paperwork and pretty much reformatting my little life here. Brilliant. I have updated the world on my life and I am done for the day.

& then we were married




















 














We didn't have a pro photographer, so we didnt have to shell out big bucks for someone to drive out to the cape and take out pix. I highly recommend this route especially if you a 2 retired fathers that love taking photos so much they went out and got super amazing cameras to feed their addiction. Either way it was so nice to go thru all of our family's photos from our wedding day and see their eye shine thru. All of the above photos are from my amazingly talented father in law who is an architect by profession but just happens to take majorly awesome photos. It was also nice to not have to leave the party for too long to take professional photos. All we wanted to do all night was eat our burgers and dance. Which we did. It was so incredible to be able to be so free in our wedding. No DJ to order us around, no photographer following us around putting us in random poses. It was amazing. Of coarse if you get the right professional they will be invisible and turn out some good photos. But it was nice to be able to say: "Sorry dad, but no more photos we want some champagne." 

the bear dance










 Yeah ok so we all know my love of bears. I mean I really love bears. So we got my brother in law to dress as a bear for our wedding and dance around and lead everyone to the dance hall on the property.
Yeah, it was pretty awesome. He put gold teeth on he bear fangs. So bad ass!
