Slacker is back

I don't even remember when I posted last but I know that when I did I was not married and I was still in Ohio. Well I can finally say that has ALL changed! Here is a run down of my life.

December 29, 2012 - married the man of my dreams!

The day of the wedding it snowed almost all day! We finished setting up in the morning, headed to our hair appointments at noon - which is when I officially got nervous. Such nervousness that my lower abdomen - ok my lady parts if you must know hurt so bad I thought I would be sick. But my dearest bridesmaid Leah was such a gem to me all day said to me in the salon, "you haven't eaten since breakfast? what do you want- I will go get you food". Oddly the only thing that sounded good was some greasy chicken fingers and fries and that is what she got me. It worked wonders.

The wedding was beautiful and simple and short and sweet. Here is a known fact - receiving lines are exhausting!! About halfway through I was SO tired of saying "thank you, thank you so much, thanks for coming, aw thank you" upon hearing "congratulations, you look beautiful, what a wonderful wedding, thank you for inviting us" etc or any mix of those. I was exhausted after the receiving line but I had my husband next to me saying how gorgeous I looked and that just made me float!

After the wedding we headed off to our two day, yes two DAY honeymoon. Seeing as we had limited time to be away before packing up our belongings to move to NC we could only spare two days to get away and relax. So we headed to Cleveland (on roads covered in ice) to the J. Palen House and stayed in the Miller Suite - it was incredible and I highly recommend it to anyone!

 

After our two day stay we came home and packed our lives away. Surrounded by cardboard boxes, tape, stuff, and sharpie markers we worked our butts off to pack everything and throw other things out.

Fast forward to a few days later at the beginning of January when we left Ohio at 7am with two cars packed with all the important and fragile items. We stopped in VA to visit our youth pastor friend for two nights and then headed down to NC.

After staying in a hotel for three days and living off of take out food we were finally blessed to find a townhouse. 2 bedrooms, 2 and a half baths, wood flooring in the living room it's gorgeous and we couldn't be happier!

Now married life is beginning to flow smoothly. Jonathan goes to work every day and our weekends are filled with miscellaneous tasks such as grocery shopping, car shopping, thrift store runs, or playing COD with his brother. We are trying to find a church and I'm trying to find a job as well.

All in all it's proving to be a great journey that we've only scratched the surface of and I can't wait to see what the future holds!
