Over at last

Now i am not saying that getting married and going on a beautiful honeymoon wasn't amazing. Becky and I are so thankful for all the well wishes that we recieved and all the people we got to meet together. But I have to say that we are glad to be home and just be able to live as a married couple. It was really hard to go to work today after taking all these days off and like my brother Jukka says in his blog I have a pile of paper work to do and inventory to count. It seems that in the 10 days i missed from work a months work sprung. Even with that it is good to get to normal life. Becky agrees with everything except me going to work.
It was great spending time with both families and watching them mingle. Becky and I were both alittle worried how some of Beckys neices and nephews would react to Jukka and Göran. But to our delite they loved them. Richard our nephew form Beckys sister Jennifer kept asking if they were coming up cause he missed them. Thats is better that i could ever hoped our family blended seemlesly. I only wish that my sister Tina could of made it with her beautiful children.

Time flys

Last Monday Becky and i got up early to do some pre wedding activities. The first thing we did was go to the city offices and got our Marriage licences. Its funny how as soon as she handed it to Becky that i realized that i was getting married in less that two weeks. The emotions of fear of not being a good enough husband to Becky and excitement of spending my life with her just flooded over me. So much emotions that i actually called of work because it made me fell overwhelmed and a little sick to be honest. We continued to do our shopping and I even though it was close it was still two weeks away.
I remember as a kid that when i was looking forward to something no matter if its 2 weeks or 2 hours it takes forever to get here. So I tried to anticipate it to much. The next thing i know its Sunday night and i am getting married on this Friday. My and here family is coming to town. The day that have been waiting for a year is finally i here. woo hooo i am so excited i can't wait. Its funny every one that has seen me comments how happy and excited i am. Friday is a start of a brand new adventure.

There are the gays at your wedding?

This past week i passed out my wedding announcements to friends and some of my old bosses. I had the usual questions about where Becky and I are getting married, who is marring us and who is in my line. When i get to the last question and answer my Brothers Mark and Jukka and my brother in law Goran. They always ask is Goran married to my sister in Utah or my sister in Mass. Its kind of funny to see there jaws drop when i say that he is my Brothers Jukka's Husband. Then the shocking thing happens. Some people actually have the Gaul to ask why i am having Goran or even my brother Jukka in my line.
Now I know that the Gay marriage ( That Becky and I both support) is a national taboo. Especially in Utah where " If we don't talk about it the problem will go away". But come on are we not in the year 2007 what difference does it make if my brother is gay or not. Am i supposed to love only those that are heterosexual and not those that are different. When Christ said to love everyone did he mean except those pesky gays. It kinda funny how people want to take part of his teachings and throw away those that make them a little uncomfortable.
Where if comes to Goran when Becky and I where talking to about who we want on our line they are the ones i have. I consider Goran and my brother. I love him as much as i love my other two brothers i would never ever exclude him from the happiest day of our lives. Becky agrees that's what i tell all those people that don't understand how to love. Gay or straight doesn't matter family love knows no orientation. Well just wanted to vent i can't understand how people try to make others conform to there way to thinking. I just want to be happy with my family.
