A Taste of Home!

I am so excited because today is my last day being unemployed (WOO!) and I get to start my job on Monday! It's been a long two weeks with not much to do, especially because it rained so much I didn't get the pool time I was anticipating, but it's finally over and we have a great weekend ahead of us!

Two of our good friends are flying in tonight and we're heading to Louisiana tomorrow to stay with another one of our sorority sisters and her husband! THEN to top it off my Dad is flying in on Sunday for a business trip so we get to spend Sunday night with him! We are so excited!!! It is perfect timing, we've been missing home and our friends a lot lately so it should be wonderful! We will post pictures on the blog sometime next week :) Hope all is well with all of you, we miss everyone so much!

All of our love!

Wedding Pictures!

Somehow it's already been more than 3 weeks since the wedding, time has been flying! We just got the USB drives with our wedding pictures on it from the photographer and I uploaded them online so you can print out any that you like. We love the pictures, there are a lot of good ones on there.

You can view all the pictures and download any that you want from the website here.

From Wedding!

It was my birthday yesterday and for my present, Kelly surprised me by flying Kaitlin down to Houston to celebrate with us. We had a great time and I was really glad she got to come. Also, tomorrow is my first day of work at ExxonMobil! Have to go to bed early because from now on I have a lot of early mornings.

A little more news...Kelly got a job! It is with Top Spot Internet Marketing, and she is extremely excited! She will probably be starting one week from Tuesday, which gives her plenty of time to work on thank you notes ;) Everything is coming together well here and we are getting used to living in Texas and enjoying it.

A Tour Of Our New Apartment!

We finally got everything pulled together with our apartment and we decided to make a video to show everyone what we've been doing for the last 2 weeks. Hope you enjoy the video!

Deep in the Heart of Texas!

So we've arrived in Houston, the home of purple drank and now us! We've finally gotten most of our unpacking done and are still working on decorating our apartment! The drive here was rather exciting, Winston literally sat in our laps all 17 hours, 1100 miles of the trip but we made it! We've been putting Nathan's hanging and building skills to the test and our apartment it starting to look like and feel like a home. Our internet and cable was finally hooked up today, so we feel like we are once again connected to the world! I'm still on the job hunt but we're hoping something will come up soon. Winston seems to love it here, he already thinks that he is King Dog of the apartment complex and barks at every dog we see, but he's starting to chill out a bit. We went to the Astro's game on Thursday and loved it! We've also gone out with Nathan's friends a few times and went to church on Sunday with Pete. We liked the Church but are going to look at other churches in our area to find the best one for us! Other than that things are starting to come together and we'll keep you updated on our lives! Love and miss you all!

Our New Apartment!

Kelly and I flew to Houston to look for apartments a couple months ago and we found one that we loved! We went ahead and signed a lease, and our move-in date is August 13th. We are going to be living at City Vista Apartments, which are located slightly west of downtown Houston in The Heights. It is a young area with a lot of people our age and has a fast growing strip of bars nearby. We took some pictures of our apartment and you can see them by clicking here.

We're Still Here!

Soooo it has been more than 3 months since we last posted a blog entry! Whoa! But don't worry, we're still here and we still plan to keep posting! We have been wedding planning like crazy this summer and have been trying to spend as much time with our families as possible! Response cards are slowly coming in, but it's so exciting to open them and see who will be there to share our big day with us! The tuxes are picked out and Kelly's dress is altered and ready to be steamed, our wedding cake is picked out, and I chose to have my grooms cake to be a Maker's Mark cake (pretty cool if you ask me).

It's crazy how much goes into a wedding and how much time both of our families have spent wedding planning! BUT don't let it deceive you, Our whole summer hasn't been wedding planning. We have gone to the lake a few times for a little R&R. Kelly had her bachelorette party in Louisville where she did a scavenger hunt around the city and we have spent lots of time with our friends and family! We both have basically been living out of suitcases since we moved back home. We stay a few days in Danville, then a few in Lexington, and we are gone basically every weekend. Although this summer has FLOWN by, we have had a blast thus far and are so exciting about our wedding! Only 24 days to go!

School Procrastination=Wedding Planning!!!

It's an 80 degree day here in Louisville and the city is absolutely beautiful! All the flowers are in bloom and everyone seems to be in a wonderful mood! I finally feel better and as Nate said "I can vaguely see the light at the end of the tunnel" as far as school goes. It's been a crazy couple of weeks here for us! School has officially taken over our lives but we've been working hard and are so ready for these next couple of weeks to fly by!

One of our newest procrastination tactics is to do even more wedding planning! Here is our updated to-do list from this past week:
-My dress came in on Monday so I get to go pick it up and take it home when we go to Danville for Easter
-Mailed our save the dates
-Basically finalized the guest list (definitely the hardest part yet!)
-Begun working on our Marriage prep for the church
-Both of our Moms have found their dresses

And we just may have found the groomsman Bowties and Holland's flower girl dress! So excited a the prospect of Bowties by the way :)

Other than that we're just living for the weekends and enjoying getting to spend time with our families and friends! This weekend we'll get to spend time with both of our families for Easter, next weekend is our Engagement Party, and the next weekend is Thunder Over Louisville then it's finals and DERBY!!!

Life is good, God is good!!! HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!
