Well...I suppose the most appropriate thing to do in my first blog posting is to bring you up to speed on our lives...
We are two of the newest residents to the great Chicago area. It is a crazy city! I thought Salt Lake was big...but I was mistaken! There is so much to do here and it all costs money...so we spend a lot of time cuddling on the couch. Although, we did go out to this bar on Saturday night, The Rockit. It was a really cool place. And Jessica Simpson was there (this is not a lie) but she was there on Wednesday night...but it was like we were there on the same night...mostly because that's probably the closest I will ever get to being in the same restaurant/bar as her so I'll take my victories where I can get them. Incidentally...we left the bar and were home by 11:30. But that was mostly due to the fact that we had 2 margaritas and 3 beers and we dropped $50...and we still had no buzz! I told you it's expensive! Other than the crazy cost of living I like it here...today. Tomorrow may be a whole new story. I take the days as they come to me, some are good and some are not so good. But I have a wonderful husband to come home to so that makes it all worth it.
We just got married in May. We were married in Maui on a beach called the "Wedding Beach"...I still don't quite know what the beach is famous for, but it was the perfect place for a wedding! More people should do it! The only hard part was not being able to share this day with all of our families. I desperately wanted my sisters, nieces, nephews, mom, and bros-in-law to share the day with us...but it wasn't meant to be. My dad was able to be there and I've never seen him look so proud of me! It was a very special moment for the two of us that I want to rememeber forever.
We have a few "kids." Lewey is the 25 pound cat whos only defense is death by suffocation...he is HEAVY! But he's my baby and I love the heck out of him. Then there's JoJo. He's the 2nd cat in our family and he is the best cuddler you'll ever run into. He hardly sheds and he leaves before he's overstayed his welcome. And last, but not least there is our Lucy. She is our cute little Yorkiepoo. She's a handfull, but I wouldn't trade her for anything.
Mark is still working with...I don't know the name of the company he works for...does that make me a horrible wife?! I truly don't know...it's not like it's on the tip of my toung and I can't remember...I just have no clue! I'll find out, tonight...and I'll keep you posted (Not like you'll be waiting on pins and needles waiting to hear the name of a company that will ring no bells once you've heard it...but it will make me feel like a better wife, so go with it!) He works the night shift so we try to make the most of our weekends. I miss him so much at night and I wish I could see him more. But there is no sense in me wasting energy on something that can not be changed in the short run. For now it is what it is!
I would love to post some pictures...but I have no clue how to do that and I will be getting ahold of either Brittney or Lindsea for some blogging techniques! So tomorrow I will have some pictures up.
Well...I have to go to bed...but I hope to hear from everyone soon!
