I posted previously about our trip to Huntington, WV, over the weekend of May 23 to celebrate the wedding of our friends Jason and Suzie. Yesterday I finally found the time to resize, rename, and upload our pictures and two videos. There's a video of Emily on the Videos page praying at the opening of the service (you might need to turn up the volume quite a bite to hear her as I was seated in the back). Also, you can find around 140ish new pictures in our photo gallery of the rehearsal, shower, wedding, reception as well as a video of the bride's entrance.
Congratulation, Mr. & Mrs. Webb!
What if I told you that I was eatin' beans on toast right now? You'd think it a crazy coincidence that you're on a website called MaustsOnToast and some guy's talking about eatin' beans on toast. You can infer from the fact that I'm eating beans on toast that I'm home alone tonight while Emily's at class; otherwise we'd be having corn on the cob, french fries, and hot wings.
It's been a while since either one of us Mausts on toast have written anything on here, so let me go ahead and say that we've booked flights to come to England for Christmas and New Years. We're scheduled to leave December, 12th @ 6:00am Lord willin' and the creek don't rise. We're hoping there'll be happy Hayes's there to greet us later that evening. Can you believe the airport was gonna charge $120 to park long-term while we're gone!? We've got some friends lined up to take us. What friends they are, let me tell you: we've got to be at the airport at 4am, which means leaving our place at about 3:30am! It's a shame we couldn't leave sooner but I've got my last final exam that Tuesday night before we fly on Wednesday, the 12th. Anyways, you Angles, Jutes, Picts, and Saxons better get ready for MaustsOnTour. We need a vacation!
In other news, I've added a melange of autumnal pictures (pumpking carving, Celtic Woman, and a squirrel!) to the Photo Gallery in addition to pictures from my cousin Greg's wedding in Ohio on September 22nd.
So it’s home again, and home again, America for me!
My heart is turning home again, and there I long to be,
In the land of youth and freedom beyond the ocean bars
Where the air is full of sunlight and the flag is full of stars.
Thank you, Henry Van Dyke. I couldn't have said it better myself. Although, on the other hand, it was loverly to be in Virginia Beach ov'r the weekend, witnessing not only the marriage of my cousin Joel and his bride Kirk, but also the sandy beaches of the Atlantic Ocean.

Two Become One: Rhea & Chris 2006
Chris Hickok (the best man from our wedding and dear friend) took his
turn at the marriage thing this past weekend in Huntington, West
Virginia. With 200 guests in attendance, Emily and I dressed up in our
smartest attire and had a gay time with the jocund company. If you
didn't happen to be in Huntington that weekend of the 12th of August,
we've got enough pictures of the event in our photo gallery to choke a
Shetland Pony. Mosey on over and check 'em out!
Just as exciting, as this week comes to its end, the arrival of
Hayes' draws nighest (watch the count down on the right for lift off!).
Yippee! See y'all soon!
After the service, people wanted to know if they could get a copy of our vows. So, back by popular demand, are the vows:
Emily
I, Emily Clare, take thee, Andrew David, to be my friend, my lover, the father of my children and my beloved husband. Acknowledging foremost my marriage to Christ, I pledge to you my love, my life, and service as He has demonstrated unto the church. From this day forward, everywhere and in all things, abounding or suffering need, believing that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us, we shall be united to the end of seeing Christ treasured among the nations. I promise to cherish and respect you, to care and protect you, to comfort and encourage you, and stay with you, for as long as we both shall live.
