hello, again

I'm baaack and with a new last name. woah, a lot has happened since I last visited the blog. Got married, traveled to a foreign country, moved into a new house and then returned to work. I will spare you the details of the wedding for now, at least until I get the pictures back, but to sum it up:  it was perfect. I couldn't have asked for a better day, filled with the best people with the perfect ending. We are truly blessed. The honeymoon was pretty similar: it was also pretty perfect. Yes, a little sunburn and too much food, but most of our toughest decisions were whether we wanted to go to the beach or the pool and where to eat for dinner. Not to shabby for this girl. It was a great way to reconnect with my love after a few busy and semi-stressful months.

Since we returned from the honeymoon, we've spent most of our time trying to assemble a semi-decent looking home. It was a disaster area when we left and we have very slowly been turning it into our cozy, little home. It's been so fun to finally use our new dinnerware and drink out of our new red wine glasses. It's been a dream for so long to set up a home with my husband and now I actually am getting to do it. Although, I know we won't live here forever, but this is our first home as husband and wife.

And everyone keeps asking me if I feel different and I feel bad when I say, no not really. I'm not sure if people expect that your whole life changes instantly after your wedding. And even though it does change everything, it doesn't feel much different, yet. We're still the same goofy couple that we were a month ago and we still have the same types of conversations and laughs. Although, it is great to know that every day I get to come home to the same man and that we are just beginning the first steps of this new journey. But then again, it's only been a little over two weeks and I'm just trying to figure out what to make my husband for dinner tonight. To be continued...

here are a few images from the last few weeks.
