We finally decided to do it.


Nathan and I finally decided to do the blog thing. We wanted to be able to keep up with our family and friends as we move on with life after the wedding. We'll use this blog to update you on what's going on with our family.


Since the wedding, we went on our honeymoon to Vancouver, British Columbia. We had an amazing time, and absolutely fell in love with the city. I guess Vancouver and Whistler isn't your normal "tropical getaway" type of honeymoon, but I think it's more "us." We actually got a little snow and we're savoring that memory as it's already 96 degrees in June. We got to do a lot of exploring, shopping, and sight-seeing while we were there. That really is our type of vacation because we love exploring new cities together. You can see a picture of us in Whistler village (co-host of the 2010 Winter Olympics) above, you'll just have to bear with the fact that we took it ourselves!

After our wonderful honeymoon we returned to Texas and back to our normal routine, which for us is work and school, school, school. We're both trying to finish up our theses so we can move on to the next adventure after grad school. We've been slowly but surely sorting through our wonderful gifts and trying to find places for everything. We're still not there yet, but things have more or less returned to normal.

We're discovering that marriage is an adventure unto itself. We knew that going in, but knowing something intellectually doesn't always translate into practical knowledge. We're loving every minute of it and are becoming closer everyday. We've been best friends for a while but I learn new things that I appreciate about Nathan all the time.

That's all for now, but we'll keep you updated on our activities as we go along!

Hey, I think the only awesome people honeymoon in Vancouver and Whistler--everyone else is just jealous that they had to go to predictable places for their getaways! :)
