to happy beginnings

yeahhhh!! This is my (technically our) first post. I'll just leave a quick recap about our summer together which includes the biggest event we have ever witnessed, yeah, getting Married, that'll do it! "Mawwiage is what bwings us togethaaa today"...princess bride! Now of course there was the honeymoon to follow and then moving to Denver, CO for the summer to finish up Taylor's internship. Some other fun things we enjoyed were the AVP tournament, C Lazy U Ranch, and a volleyball tournament in Breckenridge. I'll try not to overwhelm you with too many pictures from the wedding!

                                                                And off we go....

Now that our eventful summer has come to a close, we've moved into the most beautiful season of all, Fall. Taylor and I have gotten settled in to our new, cozy, two bedroom, basement. We are so grateful we found this place, we love it. Decorating has been a blast, although I have ways to go. My latest project was purchasing 12 wooden picture frames from D.I., tossing the center, painting the frames black, and hanging them on my wall. Stepping back to look at the finished product never felt so good. The feeling of accomplishment is the best. As far as school and everything else goes, this semester has been the busiest of all and we aren't even into the heart of it yet! I am taking 15 credits, working at the Riverwoods outdoor mall as a "Courtesy Cart" driver, and started some hours on my new internship at New Hope Academy. Taylor on the other hand graduated this past April. However, he wanted to go back to school one more semester to take some more financial, real estate, and excel modeling classes. His extension was approved and he is now enrolled in those classes.He has been renamed the research King because he spends so many hours researching companies, critiquing his resume, writing and re-writing cover letters, etc. The best part of our busy lives is the small moments where we get to enjoy one another. Eating meals together on our rug (in the process of getting a table), cuddle sessions, washing dishes together, watching movies, going on walks, cleaning, doing hw, backrubs....you name it. It's in those moments that our love solidifies and we are in pure bliss.
