Our life in a nutshell (Part 2 of 3)

JULY~

Once we returned from our honeymoon, Rob and I began packing to move into our new house. We were so excited to use all our new wedding gifts in our new house. We closed on July 9th, had some awesome helpers for the move, and immediately painted most of the rooms in our house! We knew if we didn't do it right away, we'd probably never do it. I'd be ok if I never had to paint again!! It was a busy, busy month!! We LOVE our new place! We are so comfortable here - It instantly became our "home." We have friendly neighbors, a nice yard, and live on a quiet cul-de-sac ... what's not to love??

The front of our house - LOVING the two car garage :) :)
This picture of the front of the house is missing the homeowners!!
I guess we'll have to get a picture before the summer is over!

You might notice the walls are a little empty! We've since fixed that! I guess you'll have to come visit us to see all the final touches! Hope you enjoyed a tour of our new "crib"!

Our life in a nutshell (Part 1 of 3)

JUNE ~

Rob and I were married June 13th, 2009. We had the most beautiful day for a wedding and it was as perfect as I could have ever imagined! I have included some pictures below. Sorry, I couldn't choose just a couple - our photographer was just so awesome! They're ALL my favorites! (in no particular order) All photos courtesy of Kathy at Forever Photography. She was AWESOME!! You can check out her work at http://www.foreverphotographyonline.com/

Following our wedding, we spent 7 days in Riviera Maya, Mexico (1 hour South of Cancun) for our honeymoon. Once again, it was AMAZING! Hot and beautiful the entire time. We went shopping in Playa del Carmen, scuba diving, snorkeling/kayaking, swimming with the dolphins, touring the Ancient Mayan Ruins of Tulum, spa-ing (a romantic couples massage,) and lots and lots of relaxing around the pool with a cool beverage in hand. Bahama Mamas were my favorite... yum!! We also met many, many nice people and even made some new friends!
