We Finally Have Internet! And...a New Pad.

I have been using my phone as my only source of internet for a while now. The wedding blogpost is going to take an immense amount of time, and I can't wait to sit down and write all about it. I don't have that time today, but I do want to share photos of what the two of us have been up to since the honeymoon. 

For starter's, we found us a house.

We created a joint account (I'll blog about this at another time!), and filed taxes. 

We took a good look around, packed up, and got out of Arthouse!

We celebrated our friends' little bun in the oven! This was at my first gender reveal party, when we found out our friends Andrea and Kyle are having a little baby boy. Can't wait to meet the little guy!

I learned more of George's little quirks (and thereby, my own). For instance, if we both need energy and have 20 minutes, he'll take a nap. I drink coffee. 

Before the move, we tried to get as many thank you notes done as possible. We were absolutely inundated. There are still more to come...

We both have been working full time. We are proud to be "DINK"s! Dual Income, No Kids! :)

I'm still at the Plastic Surgery center. 

George is with an entertainment company. He sells fog machines, laser shows, confetti, and fireworks to corporate parties, weddings, concerts, and other venues. The company is also in the works of creating an 80's cover band, synced with special effects. I'm so proud of how well George has transitioned from college student bachelor to full time working husband. And he's still cool, which makes me even more attracted to him.
:)

I attended my first (and last) Keller Town Hall meeting in support of my gay neighbor who was trying to pass a petition for gay's rights. Hearing him speak was very rewarding.

I got together with some girls and tie-dyed some old shirts.

I've tried utilizing our new appliances from the wedding! Deviled eggs. Mmmm.....

I went on a scrapbooking retreat (I believe it was our 8th annual trip) with my mom, sister, and friend, Wendy.

We had a great time getting away from it all and focusing on our many blessings. Mine was filled with wedding pictures! Scrapbooking remains my favorite hobby of all time. Photography has become a recent new favorite, but mainly because it increases the quality of my scrapbooking pages....

When we returned, I enjoyed seeing my favorite men rave about the hard work we put in!!!

And...we started moving. May 1st. Into the precious new place!

I had a couple breakdowns, feeling overwhelmed with "stuff" and financial upheaval. George and my parents were really consoling and supportive. I'm feeling better now.
:)

I helped (as a "daughter in law") the Tinker family with their grand tablescapes parents' 50th wedding anniversary party! The were inspired by our wedding decor, just a couple months prior, so set up was actually really fun! 

The Tinker Family Band!

I love how animated my father-in-law is! And such a sweet heart.

My husband on that pedal steel!!!! 

I can't adequately explain why, but I've thoroughly been enjoying bluegrass music lately. I think it has to do with moving onto "Texas" Street...

My mom hosted a Denton Women's Collective Happy Hour...and it couldn't have come at more perfect timing. Seeing my most inspirational friends and enjoying their company in the comfort of my mom's house was good for the soul.

I celebrated Mother's Day in our traditional way, no changes this year, despite getting married. That was a a relief. I stayed the night at my parents' house the night before, and Laura and I made Mommy breakfast in bed. She'd hurt me if I posted the pic, so I'll post a dedication pic instead. Three generations of women, all around the same time period in our lives...before becoming mothers. Free spirited and loving life.
(Glad I'm not a mom just yet! And grateful for all my mom gave up for me!)

 

My best friends came over and broke in the house with a Thirsty Thursday before Jessica left for Jamaica. We laughed at some pretty hilarious stories, and enjoyed one of my favorite beverages...sweet tea vodka and lemonade. Mmmm!

And then this past Friday, I went to Lubbock to celebrate my sister's graduation.

I've never been more proud. She graduated Summa Cum Laude and is going on for her Master's in Speech Pathology. We had a great time celebrating her huge accomplishment in Lubbock until Saturday, when I flew back solo.

Way to go, Bud!

George picked me up at Lovefield, and we went straight to the Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes/Dave Matthews Band concert at Gexa. Holy Moly, Me Oh My, what an amazing show.

Worth. Every. Penny.

And then this morning, our first leisurely morning in over a month, I made Gingerbread Belgian Waffles. 

...while listening to this awesome Dre album on vinyl...

And drinking a new iced coffee treat.
(Coffee poured in the ice tray. After they solidify, pour coconut-almond milk on top. Delish!)

I'll definitely be drinking lots of these in this Texas heat!

And as I type, I am circulating the laundry. I'll probably have done at least 7 loads by the end of the day...I hadn't done any since the end of April....

Anyway, that pretty much sums up what I've been up to lately! We've been busy little bees....
