I figured since all our friends have a blog keeping me updated, maybe it was a good idea to have a blog too. Of course, they all have kids so life is more interesting.
Brandon and I are settling into married life. Everything went well for the wedding. I was so afraid it would rain, but it held off and the sun even showed up for the reception. I'm just glad that it wasn't stressful. My friend told me it was the most comfortable and relaxed reception she had been at in a LONG time. That was my goal... :) Plus I had all kinds of help (Thank you Mindy for the cake flowers) We waited a few days to head up to the San Jaun Islands in Washington for our honeymoon. I started to freak out our second night on Lopez Island. The only way to and from the islands is by ferry(if you don't have a boat), and I was afraid we wouldn't get on the ferry to leave the next morning. I wanted off the island!! While there is lots of hiking on Lopez, I wanted to walk through little towns and window shop. You can't do that when the only 'town' you could walk through in 15 minutes. Luckily we got on the ferry and were able to head to Seattle to sightsee that day. It was nice to get away from everything(on the islands). I kinda wonder why people live there. There is nothing there as far as employment. It used to be huge when the fishing industry was huge, but now it's just touristy. It will be nice to go back for a visit in a few years.
We headed to Cedar City for our Open House over Labor Day. It was so nice to hang with the Hignites. I felt bad it was such a short trip and that it was packed with open house prep. I can't wait to go back at Christmas.
There have been lots of issues with our apartment, but hopefully they have everything taken care of. We came home from our honeymoon to find ants had taken over our apartment. It was a good thing we hadn't finished moving all the food in. At least that has been the worst of the problems. It is so nice to have a home, even if we don't own.
Brandon is working so hard with school. He's 1/4 of the way through his last year. Then he has to study for the bar. I don't think I'll see him until next August sometime. But I can handle it as long as it allows him to study and do his best. I'm still at Home Depot. I look forward to knowing next year where Brandon and I will end up. Then I will know when I can quit. I really want to go back to school for my Masters. We'll see...
