we needed more room . . .

and stronger air-conditioning.  so we went to coffee bean.  together.  

is there such a thing as too much togetherness???

Summer Vacay

Sam is on summer break.  (If you don't know, he is a High School Math, and now Choir, teacher).  That means he is home.  We live in a small house.  Only one room has air conditioning.  I work from home.  This makes for some pretty interesting dynamics. . . 

AHHHHH!

I just realized that I still have to do my taxes!!!
argh.

. . . what next?

We survived the craziest week ever!  I had to finish an incredibly long and hard paper, and Sam had to work on his certification portfolio, while also rehearsing Zombie Prom and we BOTH were rehearsing for ELAC's theatre dedication gala event.   Meanwhile, I had a birthday that I had to partially ignore so that I could finish my class work and rehearse, and then finally celebrate (until 3 am) when everything was over!  Whew.   In the meantime, wind is threatening to knock over our house.   But it's Sunday afternoon and I think we're going to survive. . .

Update:

In lieu of pithy statements about married life, or deep thoughts about  . . . well, anything, I will make due with an up-date.  Sam is more than half done with his Master's program.  I will be starting Fuller's PhD program in fall.  Sam is busy music directing Zombie Prom.  We're both rehearsing for a little review-type show.  And I run around trying to take care of us and my dad, along with working.   And we have a rabbit who likes to plonk the loose wire of his rabbit cage for hours on end. . . 

Look! A Post!

I had originally intended to use this space to blog about the new journey of being married . . . and so on.   But life got a little crazy.  Right now I just need to see if the site still works.  Back soon, I hope.

Posting . . . after a long hiatus . . .

I just realized that there hasn't been ANYTHING on the blog.  We had a bit of a crazy year, but I wanted to make sure the blog still was up and running, and once it is, I can post pictures and other fun stuff.  See you soon! (I hope!) 

Those amazing wedding photographers . . .

Posted our proof-books on line. I'm so happy - they made it easy for me to share it with you. You could actually look at the entire book! (It's amazing). Here is the info:

Working on it!

Hello!

Here is an update, from the land of crazy-i-just-got-married-ness. Anyhow, I promised to put everything that I learned from the wedding planning experience into ONE document, and I finally have at least a rough draft. My hope is that the next one of my friends to get married can learn from all the trial and error that I went through. =) We have some pictures back, which I will eventually post. Our photographers - AMAZING!!!! I can't say enough how totally totally thrilled I am with all the images that we have, it blows the mind. Even our proof book is over-the-top gorgeous.

Until I get all of that stuff up, here are some fun things that I learned: Sublingual Vitamin B Complex will totally help you grow a set of nails. (Mine used to always break before they could grow out - grr!) And Philosophy's Supernatural Tinted Moisturizer is also amazing.

Another thing I learned: You will get wedding presents after the wedding. Sometimes WAY after. Be sure to save some thank-you cards for the random presents that come later.

Now, back to clearing out the house for the upcoming garage sale (and so that I can move my stuff in)! We have about 20 boxes so far - yay! (what I did with my memorial day weekend!)
