Roundup

With less than 3 weeks until the wedding, the past 2 weeks have been a busy time for Nathalie and me. We've been moving non-stop since we were allowed back into the city after the flooding. As the vendors are slowly reopening and the city is starting to liven back up, the pieces are slowly falling into place and things are looking good. Ain't no stinkin' hurricane or flood gonna stop this wedding.
