marriage: week two

Things I learned in our second week of marriage:
-my husband does not like my cleaning schedule quite as much as I do (I've always been all-or-nothing...so it's either extreme clean or total disarray)


I know "change sheets" is on it twice, it's because we do it twice per month


Week Two Challenge: Thank your spouse for something new every day this week.
Week Two Highlights: lake life

Here's a bonus wedding picture:

marriage: week one

Things I learned in our first week of marriage:

-sometimes you come home from work and your husband bought you a treadmill (and assembled it)
-as it turns out, you don't get an extravagant (treadmill) gift every day
-there are many cows in our neighborhood



Luke's wedding gift to me was the treadmill, and I gave him a mostly empty jar (#bestwifeever).  The "Challenge Jar" has 52 slips of paper, one for each week of our first year of marriage.  Each slip of paper has a different challenge on it (for both of us).

Week One Challenge: Walk 15 miles together this week (cumulatively). (Mission accomplished)
Week One Highlights: Breakfast out and a farmer's market...and petting some cows

Here's a bonus wedding pic!

big things happening: august 2013 (like, REALLY big things)





Luke and I began living the sacrament of marriage on Wednesday, August 21st.


Five Fun Facts About Our Wedding:

1.) We had a small, simple ceremony. Tiny, in fact. Just our parents and the sacrament.

2.) We didn't tell anyone, so don't feel excluded if this is how you found out...this is how everyone found out.  If there is such a thing as a Catholic elopement, this was it.

3.) Luke's suit (and handsome bowtie) cost more than my shirt/skirt combo.

4.) We got married on what would have been one of the presiding priest's parents' 73rd wedding anniversary, which was also on a Wednesday at approximately the same time.  That priest also administered (or was present for) all of my sacraments thus far except baptism.

5.) Something old: my mom's wedding ring.  Something new: the skirt/shirt.  Something borrowed: my mom's slip. Something blue: my shoes.


BONUS FACT: That last picture in black and white that looks like Luke is super-romantically spinning me around is actually Luke cracking my back (which is a sign of true love, obviously).

DOUBLE BONUS (nerd) FACT: We're a Hufflepuff (me) marrying a Gryffindor (Luke), just like Tonks and Lupin (and Neville and Hannah).


No gifts, please.  Prayers and well-wishes happily accepted.

 
Also, in case you were wondering, this is what it looks like to have the most supportive best friends in the world:

shannon & ryan: engagement session

Luke and I went to a couples shower for these two cuties last weekend and are having dinner with them this weekend, so I thought I would share some photos from their engagement session that I shot a few months ago.
