After our wedding, Nick and I hung around Kentucky for a few more days, and made the decision that we would live there for this year. We even managed to find a house in that time.
After that we took off to DC to spend a bit of time with the family Nick had been living with before the race. Nick flew out from there a few days later, bound for Minnesota, where he helped one of his machinist friends cut our wedding bands–we had used temporaries for the wedding. Meanwhile, I drove up to be with my family in Eastern Pennsylvania for a few days before he flew back to meet me there.
We spent Christmas with my family, and were able to celebrate my nephew’s fourth birthday with some family and friends. It was a great time to relax and begin to acclimate to married life.
