Top 2 Dates

There are many different "dates" Jeremy and I have been on that have been memorable. I love most every moment I spend with him, and he definitely knows that. To narrow down these moments down to two is very difficult, but possible.

1. Jeremy's sisters wedding. Jeremy's sister, Natalie, was engaged when Jeremy and I started dating in July. Her wedding was October 18th. I knew that if Jeremy was really serious about me he would ask to go to her wedding. Not only did I get an invite to the wedding, I also got to sit at the head table with his family. It was then that I was certain that I wanted him to be my husband. The night was wonderful, and nothing can make you fall more in love than going to a wedding :) I love weddings! They give me goosebumps...

2. The weekend before Thanksgiving last year, Jeremy and I went to Branson for the weekend. We had been doing nothing but wedding planning and just wanted to get away and not worry and I wanted to get a head start on Christmas shopping too. The first night we went to the Landing and had dinner and then went to Ernie Beggs Piano Bar. It was one of the most fun times we've had together. We didn't know anyone else in the bar besides each other and still had a blast. I think we would both agree that our relationship definitely strengthened that weekend and made us even more anxious to be husband and wife :)

Monday Already?!

Why is it the weekends always go sooo fast? I, once again, had a pretty busy weekend. It was full of many different people and places, and I loved every second.

Friday I got off at noon. I headed down to Holcomb to my Mom's school then we drove down to Jonesboro to visit my sister. We had a great Japanese dinner and also had time to hit up Dillards and TJ Maxx. I love shopping with my Mom and sister, and I found a great swimsuit for the summer. I'm ready for the Lake!

Friday night I stayed at my parents house. They are currently getting new floors and other things done in their house, so needless to say it is a disaster. I had to sleep on the couch because all of the beds are covered in stuff. I know it is driving them crazy! Saturday morning I woke up quite early and went out to breakfast with my parents, then headed back to my house.

I got ready real quick then a college friend came down from STL for SEMO graduation. After graduation we went downtown to Bella Italia and then rested a while before going out that night. Downtown was crazy busy on Saturday night, almost to the point where at times I felt like I couldn't breathe! Still fun though getting to see lots of friends.

Sunday morning Jeremy and I went to LaCroix church. We both really liked it and think we will go back. After church we had Jeremy's company picnic at Cape County Park. It had really good food and we won a $25 gift card to Kohls, score! After that we headed up to STL to pick up my cousin who is visiting my family this week. My grandparents picked her up at our house this morning. Had a nice, quick visit!

I am now getting ready to head to Columbia for the School Audit Seminar tomorrow. I'm sure it will be a long day! Will miss my hubby and puppy tonight :)

Life so Far

As I type my 3rd Blog post, I begin to wonder where the time has gone since the beginning of March. After many worries that April 15th would never arrive, it has almost been a whole month since my post tax season celebration began. I've started going to the gym everyday after work, and cooking dinner for my husband as well. I'm beginning to take back all my wifely duties that I had been slacking on. However, I do have a great husband who was more than willing to pick up the slack when I was working close to 60 hour weeks.

Now work has slowed down and I am enjoying life once again. I don't hate my job, just hate the stress it puts on me. I do know that I don't want children until I can find a job with 40 hour weeks, or my husband makes enough for me to stay home (wishful thinking :)). I enjoy spending time with my husband and want to make family number one priority.

I am really looking forward to this weekend. Lots of things going on. Tomorrow, I get off at noon and am driving down to my Mom's school where she teaches, then we are going to visit my sister at ASU and I will get to see her new apartment. Things like this get me super excited. I love spending time with my Mom and sister and we will also get to do some shopping. TJ Maxx is calling my name! Saturday I am heading back to our house and Erin, one of my best friends from college, is visiting. We are going to celebrate our friend, Kate's, graduation from SEMO.

Sunday is also a busy day for us. Growing up, I always went to church every Sunday. When I moved to SEMO, I never started going again. I really want to find a church that we can belong to and participate in. So, last week we started on our way to find a new "church home". This Sunday we are going to visit another. There are many Methodist churches in our area, so I'm sure we will find one we feel like we belong. Besides church on Sunday, we also have Jeremy's company picnic. Sunday will be a full, eventful day.

Looking forward to the weekend for sure!
