Our First Holiday

So this past weekend was our first official holiday spent in our new home. All in all, it was a great time. Ken's mother came up to visit and was with us until Sunday afternoon. We enjoyed a very relaxing, lazy weekend filled with good food and good movies (check my food blog for updates on this weekend's menu). Of course, even with an extra day, the weekend was still too short. But I'm thankful for the extra time off and the quality family time it provided.

Check Out My New Blog!

In light of the fact that I am enjoying cooking in my new kitchen soooo much, I decided to create a cooking blog to document some of my meals during my 1st year of marriage. I absolutely LOVE watching the Food Network and browsing recipe blogs, so I've been experimenting with some of the recipes I've found here and there. So far so good!

Update Post: Getting Everyone Up to Speed

I feel like it's been forever since my last post. I apologize. Ken and I are doing well...still enjoying the house and taking as much time as possible to enjoy it together. I realized that I left everyone hanging on a couple of my posts, so I thought it was time for a quick update...

JET Magazine...I did finally get a copy of it. As it turns out, the lady here in the office that showed me her copy ended up giving it to me! So I was so grateful that she was gracious enough to do that. Thanks to everyone who read my post and offered to mail me a copy of the mag. You all are so sweet!

Living Room Furniture...As you all know I was much less than thrilled about the color of our living room furniture when it was delivered. However, Ken and I decided to stick with the set. I must say it has since grown on me and is not as bad as I originally thought. Granted if I had my choice, I would have liked a different color, but the color isn't too bad and it works for now.

Well, I think that's all the updates I have for now. And I'll make a more conscious effort to do a better job of posting more regularly! =)

I've Been on a Wild Goose Chase...

Why oh why is it so darn hard to find a copy of the Jet Magazine that we're in?!!! I've been to the grocery store, Wal-Mart, even Walgreens...and still can't find it! Luckily a lady that works on my floor just came by my office with a copy to verify that it was me in the article, so now I've at least laid eyes on it. But I want MY OWN copy! I'm sad because I know my time is running out because they only have each subscription out for one week. This is so unfair! =(

Boy Does Time Fly...

When you're having fun and happily married!!! We've been married 4 months today! Wow, seems like just yesterday we were home for the Holidays anticipating the wedding!

So much has happened in these short 4 months...so much good stuff. I'm so thankful and feel so blessed that words can't even begin to describe it. I love you bay! Happy 4 Monthiversary! =)

Home Warranty...

If you don't have one, get one! These things are lifesavers!

Ken and I had to submit our first claim on Friday...after only three short weeks of being in the house. Since the weather has recently gotten warmer, we started running our air conditioning a little more this past week. Well, low and behold, the upstairs unit was not cooling properly! So we called the warranty company and submitted a claim to have someone come out and check it out. That was it...that simple! So for a service job that would have cost us a couple hundred dollars, we only paid $65 for our deductible and we're now calm, cool, and collected in our air conditioned home! =)

We're In JET Magazine!!!
