Grateful for Adam!

So I work with some women who give me daily reminders of why I love my husband so much. Here are just a few reasons and in no particular order:

1-He makes breakfast every morning. (And since moving, usually gets lunch packed as well).

2-He cleans the bathrooms.

3-He does laundry.

4-He is patient and is always gentle with me.

5-He is very considerate and makes me feel appreciated and loved daily.

6-He always opens my doors.

7-He is dedicated.

8-He is willing to do anything I need him to and takes care of me.

9-He knows when I am frustrated, no matter with who, and makes the situation better.

10-He makes me laugh everyday and makes me grateful for him.

11-When I am cold, he makes me hot chocolate.

12-He warms up my side of the bed at night.

It's hard to list of all the reasons why I love him. But he truly is amazing!

Moving Update

So we are pretty much done with moving and being unpacked. We took a day off work and moved everything by ourselves. Since then we have been working on unpacking everything. We have basically everything done. But it is so great to have a house that we can be alone in and not hear our neighbors, or cars, or anything. We're not sure how long we will be here. The house is up for sale, and if they sale it we'll hopefully have 30 days to find somewhere else to live. But it's been up for sale for about 2 years, so we'll just have to wait and see, but for now we are just glad to be here.

Moving Again

Okay, so I really think I day we will stop moving.  I have a friend from work who has moved to Oregon for a job, and I joking told him he could rent his house to me and Adam, for the same price as our two bedroom apartment.  Well, he told me they had decided not to rent it, because they are trying to sell it and didn't want to have to worry about renters.  He called me the next day and told me he had spoken with his wife and if we were interested we should come look at it.  So we did, and we love it!! It's a 3 bedroom house, with a large living room and large kitchen.  We are really excited and think it will be a great experience for us.  We will move in December 1, and somehow everything worked out well enough for us to be able to get out of our current contract.  We truly are blessed!  

Picture Time

I am working on trying to add some of our wedding pictures to our blog.  I am not so good at this right now so let hope it works.

Oops!! I couldn't tell my eyes were closed on that picture. 

It's All Over

Well, life is a little less stressful these days.  We are finally married and loving every moment.  We decided not to buy the house, it got too crazy with the wedding plans.  So we live in a small 2 bedroom apartment.  It's not the best thing on the planet, but it is cheap and it works well for us.  I would love to say that life is not boring, but frankly our lives are a little boring.  We usually go to work, then come home, eat dinner, watch a portion of a movie and go to bed.  But we love just being together.  It's nice to know that when I am stressed out with work I get to come home to someone who loves me more than anything.  I am so glad I wanted to find someone who makes me feel more loved than ever before.   

BUSY LIFE!!!

So it's been a little bit since we last posted, and things have changed a bit. After all the stress at looking at houses, we decided to rent for a couple months. It worked out really well because we can save up more money and have a little more time to figure out where we want to live. So we moved Adam into the apartment and it's small but great.

The wedding is getting closer. We are getting ready to send announcements out, so please send us your addresses. We would love to see as many of you as we can. We can hardly wait to be married. Just less than a month away!!! We love all of you!

Buying a House!!

So we have been trying to decide whether we should rent or buy down here. Right now is a great time to buy. As we looked at apartments and saw how much they were, Adam wanted to see if we could buy something. I was a lot more hesitant. It took a bit of convincing to make me feel good about it. Working for the City, I have come into contact with a lot of great agents. One of them found a 1300 sq ft duplex for $135,000. So we have been going through the motions to buy it. We put in our offer yesterday and hopefully it won't take too long. It is on a short sale, which means it is on the brink of foreclosure. It may take a little longer to get everything through because the homeowner and the bank must both accept the price. But as soon as we get that approval, it should be pretty quick. We are really excited about it. It is in a great little family neighborhood. We are hoping Adam can be moved in before we get married!! It would make the move a lot easier. So we'll see. As soon as I can get my computer to work, I will put some pictures up.

Engagement Pictures

So we got our engagement pictures done on Tuesday night.  It was pretty fun, except for the fact that we are both sick.  We did get some good pictures so check out the site and let us know what you think.

How We Met!

Okay. We keep getting asked how we met and all the details. So I thought I would write a blog about it. Any comments by Adam will be in ( ). It hasn't been very long, but we are excited about it. We met on Mother's day! I know not very long ago. We talked for about a half hour and learned that he knows my sister-in-law. He couldn't remember exactly what she looked like, so we decided he'd come over the next night to look at pictures. We ended up talking for eight and a half hours on Monday night! It was great. We were up until 4:30! While we were talking I put my number in his phone.
So on Tuesday I get a text from a number I didn't recognize and it was Adam. He had been looking through his contacts to call someone else and saw my name. We texted through the day and he asked me out. He picked me up that night and we went miniature golfing. It was a blast! And of course I won golfing (and his heart). :) We went to eat at Ruby Tuesday, and we split a meal. I loved it. Anyone who knows me, lately I don't eat a full meal. So when we were done, we went to his apartment and watched a movie. Adam likes to have a sweet any time of the day, so he wanted to make brownies, but we were still full. So we watched the movie. At one point he tried to kiss me, but I denied him. We won't get into why, but I had just recently gotten out of a relationship and wasn't quite ready. But I really did want to kiss him. So after us trying to kiss a couple times(or 5), we finally kissed. It was great!! When we did kiss, we knew something was different. Well I finally got home in the early morning. But because of the lack of sleep on Monday night, and no sleep on Tuesday night, I was feeling very ill. So I called in sick to work. I texted Adam and he came over after a little bit. We just talked and took a nap. After talking for awhile we decided this was really different, and we decided to get married.
He is the most amazing man I have ever met. He treats me like a princess and does the things he knows I love. Our personalities are a little different but we are learning. We agree on a lot of things, some things we need to talk about but it's fun doing it together. Anyways, that's the story, at least part of it.

Please email us your addresses so we can send you an announcement!
