Renewed Blogging

 

So part of my New Year's Resolution is to do a better job of blogging (thanks Carrie) as it's been 6 months since either of us have last posted and our 2 valued readers are anxious for continued updates :)

By now we have the professional wedding shots and you've all seen them so I won't post those, however the house is done! We're still in the process of organizing it so we haven't taken too many pics of it. I'll try and get a couple up soon, at least some shots of the clean, organized areas.

We've also passed the 6 month mark of being married. It really flew by, and things are still going great! The cats and dog still haven't adjusted to each other, but we're all working on it.

We had a great marathon Christmas event this year, traveling over 3000 miles in 1.5 weeks and celebrating 5 Christmases. It was great being able to see all of our families and I'm thankful for the week we got to spend in Iowa, even if it was freezing! :)

We head back to work after a wonderful 2 weeks off. Neither of us are particularly looking forward to it, but at least we're on the back half of the year. I'm going to have to make countdowns to our breaks/mini-vacations. (The first one is in 54 days when we'll take 4 days off and head to Florida).

Townhouse Update

So here's a little update on the townhouse... As of July 3rd, the foundation has been laid and they have begun framing!! :) We don't know if this means they might finish ahead of schedule or not, but we're keeping our fingers crossed. We're planning on taking some pictures of the progress and we'll make sure to keep you all updated with the developments! :)

The Wife's Take...

Just some additional thoughts, or side comments, however you want to look at them :)

First off, before the honeymoon began we of course had a wedding. It was absolutely beautiful and wonderful! I walked onto the grounds and was taken back by the beauty and detail that had gone into everything. The table settings were just as we had planned, and the flowers were GORGEOUS!!! I think at that point it all became real. Practice runs were held, pictures were taken, guests arrived and before we knew it the music was starting and the ceremony was underway. Jason and I were both very nervous, as we had not seen each other beforehand, but once we were both together the nerves relaxed. Scriptures were read, vows said, and finally we were married!! The reception was wonderful. The food was great, and the twinkling lights in the mason jars made the night complete. All in all, I could not have asked for anything to have gone better or for anything to have been changed!

THEN we went on the honeymoon :) Jason laid everything out in great detail so I'm not going to go into specifics, but let me just say that Maine was very pretty, quiet and serene. We were able to relax and see some great sights. I was very nervous to go into Boston- it's HUGE and scary and busy and.... I managed though! :) I rode my first subway (yes I know this sounds crazy, but Iowa just doesn't have the need for mass transport!), rode in maybe my 5th taxi ever, and experienced a lot! I really enjoyed the Freedom Trail and recommend it to anyone who travels up there. Fenway was fun to see...Jason is a bit more of a Sox fan than I am, but I'm sure I'd feel the same childhood excitement he felt if we were at Wrigley :) Overall it was a great honeymoon, but I too am glad to be home :) We'll try and get some pictures of the honeymoon out soon!

Oh, and I am now officially a 'Dean'- at least according to the social security office and the DMV! :)
