"When was the last time you were at a wedding that had a death defying hike, rogue waves, a luau, ultimate fighting, a presidential candidate and a budding bromance?" asks Papi Chulo. For most of us, the answer is never, but luckily, Papi Chulo and Secret Agent Scotch took the time to Vox all the amazing moments during their unforgettable Hawaiian wedding on 08.08.08 so we could all take part in the festivities.
The story began last February, when Papi Chulo popped the question and Secret Agent Scotch said yes! Since then, they've kept us in the loop about all the details, from the bride's veil to the wedding song to the final To-Do List. And throughout it all, they inspired us with their love for each other. (I'm pretty sure it doesn't get any better than knowing your future husband thinks you are The Perfect Girl.)
It's an amazing love story and we are thrilled they shared it with us. Watch the video of the ceremony and please join us in wishing Papi Chulo and Secret Agent Scotch the fairytale ending they deserve.
And What's a Team Vox Post without New Themes?
Spice up your Vox blog with one of our latest themes (found in the design area under "New") or any of our hundreds of themes. From shopping to sushi, comics to cycling, there's something for everyone.
Can't get enough of the wedding? A few lucky Voxers - Krissy, djchall, and Beau Smith - made the trip to Hawaii to take part in the celebration. Check out their Vox blogs for more pictures and stories.
Congratulations again to Secret Agent Scotch and Papi Chulo! Enjoy the Honeymoon!

Amazing insightful interview

and then interviews
as we know it"
"...and that would make today
different
from any other day
( ^ _^ )
how, exactly?"
At Vox, we believe that change is a good thing. After all, you wouldn't wear the same t-shirt day in and day out, so why should your blog have to suffer the same fate? Give your blog a new look with one of our latest themes (found under "New"), or pick from any of our hundreds of themes designed with your passions and personality in mind.
Until then... Enjoy!

Although we typically post on Team Vox to let you know about things that are going on with Vox (to, uh, state the obvious), once in a while, we like to let you know about other cool things that are happening around the blogosphere. And we think the idea of four hilarious mommy bloggers traveling across the U.S. on their way to the BlogHer '08 conference - all the while blogging and video blogging the journey - is one trip you will not want to miss.
Four adventurous bloggers from the Silicon Valley Moms Group were selected to participate in the Summer Road Trip '08 and blog about their travels, hotel stays, media appearances, time away from their families, and life on the road. Six Apart helped them partner up with General Motors, who provided the blogging mommies with a Chevy Tahoe Hybrid SUV to help make their journey comfy, safe, and a little more green.
In case you're not familiar with them, SV Moms is a group of over 200 bloggers who showcase the ups, downs, outrages, struggles, victories, and everyday humor of motherhood. There are currently nine regional and demographically tailored sites that give mothers from D.C., New Jersey, the Deep South, Rocky Mountains, L.A., and Silicon Valley a powerful voice and sense of camaraderie across the country. Whether you're a mother, a child, or just a person who enjoys a good blog, you'll really love reading the words of these amazing women.
The moms buckled into their Chevy Tahoe Hybrid SUV on July 11th and even got an encouraging message from Katie Couric to kick things off! They are currently somewhere in the middle of America making their way to San Francisco where they'll attend an SV Moms Group Party, as well as BlogHer '08.
You do not want to miss these entertaining and irreverent bloggers -- or their spontaneous contest giveaways! -- as they blog from the road. Experience the journey at MomRoadTrip.com.
And let us know about your summer road trip - or plane/boat/bus trip - in the comments! (I like to live vicariously.)
one of them controls my pulse rate
and I ran out.
Mindlessly
I didn't think to refill it
for a month.
so then I refill it
Now there are things
called brilliant thoughts.
The following
isn't one of them:
"Hey, I'm behind on my meds
I ought to double up
in order to catch up."
A few days of doubling up.
Then Amy and I
go for a walk.
I
can
only walk
a few yards
at
a
before
I
have
to
stop
to
catch
my
breath.
Amy says this isn't right
she says, we're going
to the emergency room
We get in,
I get put on oxygen
get poked blood work
have ekg stickers stuck on me
after a while
the Doctor looks me in the eye
says matter of factly
that my condition
requires the kind of attention
that another area hospital can provide
They have physicians
skilled in this sort of thing
He says
they are really good.
He says
If it was his brother
in my circumstances
he would send him there to them.
He says,
If it was himself
in my circumstances
he would go them.
He says
I am going to them.
He says
I will be taken there
by helicopter
and be there in 10 minutes.
Soon I'm on a helicopter liftiing off.
10 minutes later I'm at the other hospital
a few hours later
I'm looking at thing hanging from
(whatever they call
those rolling posts
that they normally
hang IV bags from)
it's device about the size
of a universal remot control
It's got a wire hanging from it.
The wire goes into my leg
into a big bore catheter
up into a vein
and ends up in my heart.
It's pacemaker.
It prevents my heart
from beating slower than 50 beats per minute.
I watch the monitors.
It's stays at 50 bpm most of the first night.
another day, a night, and a day passes.
A doctor comes in
followed by a posse
of resident
he says
So, I understand you took extra helpings
of your heart medication.
Why did you do that?
Did it taste like candy?
Everybody, myself included, laughs.
You had to be there.
His verdict is that I'm stabilized
And one of the residents stays behind
to puuuulllllllllllllll the wire
out of my vein.
And then later I'm released.
Respect your meds.
Peace out.
