Procrastination must be my middle name

Ok, so let's just start by being honest and admitting that i am Horrible at doing this blog thing! I haven't written in over a year i think! So the last i wrote, i was just starting school, and dating the man of my dreams! Well I am now MARRIED to the man of my dreams, and doing awesome! I'm going to try this picture thing and see if it works, so you can all finally see what i've been blabbing about. I don't have the temple pictures back yet but i do have a few of the ring ceremoney and the day of the reception.

We were married on August 1, 2007 in the Timpanogas Temple. Marriage has certianly been an Adventure. Our engagement was crazy and and hard. We had a lot of opposition from some, and a little too much excitement from others. I had so many people ask me if being engaged was the happiest time of my life, and let me just say, ABSOLUTELY NOT! Infact i would say it was the worst time of my life and it didn't get good until the actuall day of the wedding. That day was the most calm i've ever had in my life, and by that point i was so grateful for the peace of the temple i can't even put it into words!

Now i know some people will want to see some more pictures so for that i would send you to our digital portfolio at www.annalisaphotography.net/j&salbum As for the seven months since the wedding, that has been an adjustment too. We went on our honeymoon to Coronado Island in San Diego for 4 nights and 3 day's. We were then back for two days, both of which we spent tiling a bathroom for 12 hours a day, and then we left on his family vacation. Yep not even married a week, and in a 12 seater van driving to South Dakota to see Mt. Rushmore and sharing hotel rooms with siblings the majority of the time. But that's not all my friends! We then got back on a saturday night, (a week and a half later), and school started for JC on Monday. He had classes till 8 or 9 o'clock three nights a week, and i had to work till at least that late the other nights. So we'd come home at 9, eat dinner, and go to bed. CRAZY!!!

Needless to say, we cherished the time we had together, and being very self-entertained to boot, it took us a while to get out of our cacoon. This semester is going much better. J isn't taking quite so many credits, and i've re-arranged my work scheduale so that we can be home together as much as possible. JC is also working a little this semester, and i'm not working quite as much. The plan was for me to go back to school but i couldn't get the grants i needed so that is on hold for a while. I am now volunteering with a 1st grade class for a few hours, a couple days a week, teaching them reading and computers. So that's it for now!! I really will try to keep up better with the blogging!
