Wonderful Weekend

Matt and I had such a fun weekend! I love weekends with my husband and family! Friday night we got take out Chinese and watched a movie.  Saturday we had my sister's 30th birthday celebration at Rivue in downtown Louisville! It was so fun! The room revolves while you're eating so you can get a great view of the city.  The food was really good and it was great to spend time with my family and some of my sister's friends.  After dinner we went to Osheas downtown and then ended up making a stop at White Castle before we walked back to the Marriott where Kara and Justin were staying for the night! We stayed out until 2 a.m. and that is probably the latest my sister and I have stayed out or up for that matter in I don't know how long! It was so good to see my sister have such a great night celebrating her birthday! Pics from the birthday celebration will be coming soon.  My camera battery was dead so they are all on my sister's camera. :) 
                                             

On Sunday afternoon Matt and I went to see The Help.  I finished the book on Friday and was dying to see the movie! The movie was so good, but I seem to always like the books better than the movies. :)

In The Middle :)

Last night I was laying in between Matt and Lily (for those of you that don't know Lily is my two year old black and white Shih Tzu) thinking how I wouldn't trade that moment or my life for anything. :)  Lily has had a little trouble adjusting to the married life.  Since she was 8 weeks old it has just been me and her.  Of course she has stayed with Matt and Dutchess for long periods of time but this living together thing seems to be taking a toll on her.  She is literally attached to my hip.  Being that I don't have a job right now, I am home most of the day with her and Dutchess and she is either laying beside, on or next to me. She only wants me to take her out.  When Matt tries to put her leash on her she runs and hides under the bed. :(  At night time she has to sleep in the bed with Matt and I touching my leg or arm.  Considering how spoiled she is I don't think our future children have a chance. :)  I know it may sound crazy but the love and loyalty you feel from your dogs is truly special.

Not only am smashed in the middle of my husband and dog every night, I am also in the middle of finding a job.  I quit my teaching job in Lexington to move to Jeffersonville because Matt and I thought it would be easier for me to find another teaching job than for him to find another job.  I have not found another job yet and while I love being a stay at home wife :)  I'm really missing teaching! I miss the kids, the girls I taught with and the feeling of making a difference. :)  Having the freedom to do what I want when I want is nice, but I'm ready to get back into a routine of things.  Matt and I have tentatively planned several trips for September and October during his vacation time and it's nice to have this freedom and flexibility with not having to coordinate vacation times, but part of me still wishes I had my own classroom this year. :) I know God has wonderful plans for me and my career path! I keep telling myself that good things come to those who wait!

Pizza and Dessert

Yesterday was our one month anniversary and I went to Homemade Ice Cream and Pie Kitchen (if you've never been, you have to go!) and picked up some of Matt's favorite iced cookies with "Happy One Month" written on them!

 I also picked up a piece of chocolate meringue pie for me and a piece of Kentucky Bourbon pie for him to have for dessert when we got home from dinner. :) 
Matt and I LOVE pizza and eat it at least once a week! Matt has been wanting to go to this pizza/brewery in New Albany ever since we went to another brewery in New Albany, Indiana that also owns The New Albanian Pizzeria and Brewery.  So we decided yesterday that's where we would go for dinner.  Matt was in heaven looking at the beer menu and picking out his selections. :) The pizza was really good and we think this place may actually be the Pazzos of Indiana!  Pazzos is one of our favorite pizza places in Lexington!   If you can't already tell by these two pictures, Matt and I love to find new and good places to eat!           

      
We both decided yesterday that our favorite time or place we've been over our first month of marriage was our honeymoon! We went to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic and it was AMAZING! A post on that will be coming soon! 

                           

One Month Down, Forever to Go...

I finally decided to jump on the blog bandwagon and create a blog about our journey as newlyweds.  What better day to start than our 1 month anniversary! I can't believe it's already been a month! A month of love, kisses, a wonderful honeymoon, name changes, adjusting and tons of memories! Matt and I are so blessed to have each other and amazing family and friends in our life! For those of you that don't know we met on Eharmony in May of 2009; met face to face July 10, 2009 at Atomic Cafe in Lexington; got engaged on July 29, 2010 in Prince Edward Island Canada and married on July 23, 2011! These past two years have been filled with an abundance of love, smiles, traveling and learning about each other. Matt and I complement one another and it's a wonderful feeling to know you have truly found the one!
