One Month-iversary

It’s hard to believe that it a month ago yesterday was Joe and my wedding day.  And what a great wedding it was.

Since then we have traveled to Italy, put away all the wedding gifts, written thank you notes (and sent most of them out… were bad).  We’ve already hosted  3 Friday game nights and made group effort tuna melts with the Perezes  (one of our favorite Tuesday night activities), gone to the 1st ever Denver fair and begun to  decorate the guest room.  

  

I was driving home from my fabulous new job today, and the weather was dark and chilly, with a crisp air smell.  It made me think of the holidays, and how quickly they are approaching.  {It’s my favorite time of year!}  Right when school starts for the kidos, the weather does funky things and you have a gut wrenching feeling that the next 6 months of your life are about to fly by faster than ever.  So I called the hubs and told him “Happy one-month anniversary, I feel like we are going to be an old married couple before we know it.”   

And I thought ‘Isn’t it great?’

Our Honeymoon Part 1:

Packing the Suitcase is always my least favorite part of vacation (and unpacking it...)

Its the stress of not knowing how many pairs of socks and underwear you REALLY need...

I don't know about other people but I always have anxiety going through airport security. Maybe its because I always set off the metal detector. Even when I'm wearing no shoes, tiny shorts and a tank top. Then they pull me aside get frisky with me and wonder why my feet and ankles always make the little wand beep, why does this happen to me??

Needless to say we did make it to Philidelphia from Denver. We waited 6 hours at the airport, charged our phones and laptops/my nook. and of course explored.

9 hours after boarding the plane in Phili we arrived at our 1st destination. Roma, Italy!
We did what any normal person might do when they arrive in Italy. We went straight to a restaurant to EAT!
We had pizza, Some fancy bread and a lovely little fruit dessert.
~~ It was delicious. ~~

That Night we walked around near our hotel, saw some beautiful buildings, laughed and cringed at the crazy drivers and ate a late dinner after it was dark. So far so good...

Our Wedding!

Very recently I got married to the most awesomest man alive!
I am still excited
Everyday I make it a point to say "Good morning Husband" or "Hello, Husband" ;)
I took a Que from Little Miss Momma and now I call him "The Hubs" (Thanks Ashley!)
People keep asking me how married life is... I say its the same.

But is it?

Actually I can confidently say,
(now that I've had almost 3 weeks to think about it) that I feel:
more secure,
safe,

more comfortable in my own home,

*where Joe and I have lived for 6 months before we were even married*.
How about that!?

We have some time to wait before we receive the wedding video or the professional photos. But luckily we had a fabulous photo-booth at the wedding and some guest who took great pictures for us.



Stay tuned for more pictures and details!

Bridesmaids

So, a few months back I thought long and hard about my bridesmaid choices (Actually i didn't have to think that hard). I dearly care for all of my bridesmaids and I know they love me right back!

Of course there is Michelle, my big sister, and now my Matron of Honor (which is so fitting since she graciously had me be her maid of honor a few years back :P).



There is also Colleen, my little sister, and Maid of Honor. She is graduating from high school this year... can't believe it! Isn't she pretty???



I then chose my dearest friend Shannon Stone. Love her! Shannon and I met like... 5(?) years ago working at Cost Cutters. We HATED each other hahahaha but now we LOVE each other! its hilarious how things like that work out :P



Then Dawn Wiley, my sweetest, most caring fellow counselor and great friend. We met in Graduate school and right away I knew we would get along and sure enough we hit it off. Never met anyone as sweet as this soon-to-be mamma.



And Finally Jarrett Rivera, my super awesome, friend (and work husband according to all the students). As the newest and youngest employees at Wasson we have each others backs and comfort each other on days of stress. (If you are wondering.. No he will not he wearing a dress, he will match the buys but be standing on my side :))



I can't lie there was one more girl, but unfortunately and for some unknown reason she has disappeared! I can't say I wasn't warned! the lady at the bridal shop when I was picking bridesmaid dresses said "bridesmaids are notorious for dropping out." MAN I WAS NOT EXPECTING HER TO BE RIGHT!!

And in case you are wondering what the dresses look like here they are! All the girlys look beautiful in this dress and I am so excited! It is exactly what I wanted!!

The Holidays 2010

Time is flying by! I have reallllly enjoyed being on break from school. Sleeping in and taking long showers and spending time of things like... redecorating my blog (although I probably should be decorating my house) and catching up on my favorite youtube videos. Joe got a few days off for the holidays as well. As you can see Sora and him really enjoyed sleeping in as well... hehehe



So much has happened since I posted our engagement photos on here...

In November Joe and I decided to start house hunting. 30 houses and about 1 week later we found a house we LOVED! We closed on DEC 3rd and moved in DEC 4th! We are so thankful for our friends :) We absolutely love this house, and Sora seems to love the space to run, and the backyard. One of the best parts is, we live about 2 blocks away from one of my best friends, Dawn and her hubby!


Thanksgiving was a blast. We celebrated at Mom's house. We ate well and played the Wii for a few hours. It was great!!





I don't have many pictures yet from Christmas as Michelle took most of them but I do have a couple. Christmas was great. Mom bought Joe and I our 1st tree. LOVE YOU MOM! we has a blast decorating it and followed that up with making a gingerbread house (which was actually a fiasco! hahaha but it turned out ok)
For Christmas I decided to get Joe a super awesome BreedLove acoustic guitar. I keep saying its because he loves playing the guitar and his acoustic guitar was warped and... you know all about him. but selfishly I also got it for me! No, not to play. To listen! I love listening to him play and the other one was painful to hear... now he can serenade me as I fall asleep :) hehehehe





And on a Final note, Joe and I got out most of the save the date magnets for the wedding. We have most of the planning done. Well the BIG stuff is done. We just need to work on the little details like decorations.

I guess that's it for now. Visit our wedding website and sign our guestbook if you do! www.Weddingwire.com/joeandkatforever

Happy New Year!!
