PHOTOS!

Hello All~

So I'm not the best at photo sharing stuff... but I just set up a Flickr account (as was recommended) to that we can all share our photos in one place. Maybe I just didn't understand how we would all share, but I thought I'd really just be easiest to just log-on as the same person and upload photos that way. We set up this account to do so:

Address: http://www.flickr.com/

Log in: arielphilliprhoades
Password: october172008

SO: PLEASE LOG ON AND UPLOAD YOUR PHOTOS! This way we can all share. Please save your photos as a SET entitled "From ------" (ex: From Ariel) so that they all stay together and we know whose photos are whose. Once you have, please post here so that people know to check it!

I will soon add the beautiful professional photos that Serge took!

THANKS,
Ariel

Thank You Everyone!!!!!

I cannot express how grateful we both are for the time we had this past week with so many of our wonderful friends and family. Thank you so much for gifting us with your joyous presence, kind words, and thoughtful presents. Ariel and I are still floating from the experience and if either of us could have our way we would kidnap each of you for a lifetime (but that would be awfully selfish).

We will post photos and a site for sharing them shortly. (Thank you to Serge for gracing our wedding with his beautiful photographs!!!) This site will likely turn into a blog for Ariel and I to post thoughts and images of our times together. Until then check in often and share your thoughts.
A big cheers to our enlarged community of bright people and gorgeous spirits!!!!

Phillip & Ariel (I can post my name first when Ariel isn't here, woohoo!)

OCTOBER 16th

it's happening!! Phillip and I are so excited! we will have limited cell access and will have no access to the internet from this point forward. Try to call and leave us messages if there is something we need to know. Also: you can ask the resort to give a message to us.

See you all soon!

THANKS,
Ariel

October Update

Hard to believe the wedding is so close...less than two weeks away. A couple updates:

FINALIZED DIRECTIONS to Zebra Ranch House for Reception (continued from the back of the invitation): From the North Fork Road, continue approx. 5 miles to the "Zion Ridge" entrance (before the "Zion Ponderosa Ranch and Resort" entrance -- if you get to this entrance you've gone too far). The Zion Ridge entrance is usually gated, but they will be leaving the gate open for us. Turn Left into the Zion Ridge entrance and drive straight down the road until you reach house number 713. There will be lots of cars, so please park along the road without blocking any driveways. We will put up a large sign on the NORTH FORK road, so look for that as well. Please print out these maps for your convenience: http://www.zionponderosa.com/location.htm

WEATHER: Fall is here as of this weekend. Prepare for rapid weather fluctuations, with daily swings from almost 80 to as low as 40. The monsoon season is not over yet but the rain storms aren't as violent but they last longer so have some rain gear.

LUNCH ON FRIDAY: If interested you are invited to join us at Oscars on Friday @ approximately 1 pm. We have a section reserved and would love your company after the ceremony. Oscars Cafe is located in Springdale across from the Mean Bean Coffee Shop which every local in Southern Utah knows...just ask for directions.

Feel free to ask any questions or call the contact numbers to the left. 12 days and counting...send your best wishes that Ariel and I can survive the stress the next week!!!! Lots of Love and Safe Travels!

Phillip & Ariel
