Well its official. I cannot sleep and its three in the morning. Currently, there is something dying somewhere outside and i can't find it!! It sounds something between a sheep/chicken/cat thing. Whatever it is has been making horrible noises all night and twice now I have gone out and searched for it but with no luck. So i'm stuck wide awake, bored and thought to myself, "I should update my blog!" So here I am. Here is how married life has been so far!!

The first week was interesting. I was mainly busy unpacking and arranging our new home! oh how mightly lovely it has all come together! I absolutely love the home we are starting together. Julian was working second shifts so things were great! We would have all morning to spend together to do random things until 3:30 when he had to work.I would then spend a while driving myself around El Paso trying to convince myself i wasn't lost...(I was just going to the grocery store, but it took me two and a half hours!! lol) I would make dinner around 7:30 and bring it to the hospital where we would eat dinner together(and with anyone else who was working in the lab. I always made plenty!) I would then do my own thing until midnight when he would come home and we would go to bed together! (one of my favorite things by the way!)

The second week was when things got tougher. They put him on third shift so he was working from midnight to 8:00 in the morning. This shift was tougher because i was alone all night without him. Those nights were spent with me sleeping on the couch normally. This was also the week that I started to miss everyone horribly! It had really hit me that I was not ten minutes from my family and in a city that I still did not trust. It was tougher but we got through it :)

By week three, i was settling in and pretty happy. I got back on a regular routine and kept myself busy. This was a good thing for the fact that Julian started WLC training and is gone from 4:30 in the morning to 8:30 at night. By the time he got off work and home, he was exhausted and I was full of energy! haha So the next hour would be spent with him trying to sleep and me bugging him to play! lol I would finally give up and grab my book to read until i also fell asleep.

And this puts us into week 4. Nothing too exciting has happened yet, but we have just been working on falling into a routine. Things are going great and I absolutely love married life. Julian is still in WLC training and will be until the 12th of July but as I said earlier, I am keeping myself busy! We have gotten out of the house a couple times for dinner and that was awesome! We also just had our first guests over to the house tonight too!! We just celebrated a month of being married and I would have to say, there have been a couple bumps in the road but so far, married life is amazing! I love my husband more than words can say.

Wedding stories!!

Ok i have been promising a new post for a while but with the wedding, honeymoon and then move, life has been a little crazy. And now i am really sick and trying to convince my stomach that self-combusting would not be in the best interest for the rest of my body. so lets see how far this post gets...

Lets start with the wedding. As you all know (and most of you were there) I married my best friend under God and in front of about 250 guests, and it was absolutely amazing. I could not have asked for a more beautiful ceremony. The night before, most of my bridesmaids and I stayed at kari's house and had a fun girls night. We all had a glass of champagne and enjoyed just being together :)

We then all headed to bed and got up at six the next morning. We were all pretty tired but excited to get the day started. From there, we went to starbucks and headed to the salon. Now let me tell you the result of just coffee in my system and being really excited. i was super duper ridicously HYPER!! I was prancin around in the salon saying, i'm getting married today!!! Anytime anyone walked into the salon I was greeting them and I even answered the salon phone once. I was CRAZY HYPER! but it was a blast!! I had my first minor crisis (i look back and laugh now at all my minor crisises that day because at the time they didn't seem so minor. But we get to the salon and it totally hit me that i didn't have my veil and tiara and Shelly needed it to do my hair. The day before the wedding, i thought i was being all clever leaving my dress and everything at the church to have it all ready, but totally spaced the fact that i neeeded it for that morning. So I called my nana and asked her if she could bring it, and although papa wasn't too happy with me, he got it :D thank you papa! haha. So we all had our hair done at the salon and my mom started my makeup there. By the time we left i was IN LOVE with my hair and felt like a princess. hehe.

Now once we got to the church, we were on a time crunch and I was freaking out a little. i knew I was about an hour from getting married to the love of my life so that excited me but on the other hand, my mom was running late, my sister was driving me crazy, my dad was MIA with hi and my brothers tuxes and it was chaotic. but i look back on it all now and just laugh. I don't have any pictures after that that i took, mainly because i was pretty pre-occupied. lol. But everything went perfectly at the ceremony. My daddy gave me away, my husband was there waiting (with the biggest grin on his face may i add hehe) and everything was amazing.

Then afterwards we took a few pictures at the church and then got in the limo to head to the reception where the party (and a few minor funny now, but not then...events happened. lol)

Well i have the whole reception to talk about but to be completely honest, i am really sick and wanting to lay down. so i am going to have to finish later. but hope you enjoyed!
