OK. We haven't gotten all of the photos put together from the wedding yet, but I know all of you out there that read my blog (all two of you!!) are dying to see some pics. So here is a link to the web album of the pics that Xan's Uncle Dave did of the ceremony.
We should be getting more of the pics put together over the next week and I'll post links to those here as well.

12 days to go....
So it's now August 21st and by my little Google Desktop Gadget I've got just 12 days left until my wedding.
I've got to tell you that all the stuff that people say about a wedding being crazy to plan and such is completely true. Xan and I have been pretty lucky with all the support that we've gotten from our families and from the hotel where we are having the reception, but there is still a thousand things to do.
But that's all part of what makes it such a special day. It's the work that we put into it making it our special day (not somebody elses) that allows us to have so much fun and be able to hold onto memories of a wonderful day for the next 50 plus years.
I'm so looking forward to the wedding simply because I know it's all going to come together (some stuff may get screwed up at the end, but that's us so it's cool) and everyone is going to have a wonderful time.
So I don't know how many updates I'll do to this over the next few weeks, but since I haven't been updating it for a while now I guess there isn't any huge problem there.

Team Dynamics
The Five Dysfunctions of a Team: A Leadership Fable by Patrick M. Lencioni
This is just a great book for any person. We all are members of teams in our lives, whether that's in business, family, sports, whatever.
The book is geared toward a business situation and that's where it shows the most relevance. It's written as a novel for most of the book and that was an interesting approach. The author does a great job of doing this and making his points understood very well by the different characters. You are instantly able to relate your life to the situation by picturing the different characters as the good, and bad, people on the teams in your life.
A valuable, although at times difficult, part of reading this book for me was seeing how I often do a lot of things wrong in the teams that I'm part of. After reading this book I'm much more aware of things that I do and have started to watch for those in order to put the team first. A very enlightening experience.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who leads a team, or is part of one that is looking to make improvements.
