Today I....

Ate some Teddy Grahams. Chocolate ones to be exact.

Tomorrow morning, Ryan and I are heading to the Social Security office to start the name change process! Dun, dun, dun!

Also, the wedding photos should be coming tomorrow or the day after! (Finally!) So excited!!!

Believe it or not, I'm walking on air

I put on make up and did my hair for the firs time in a long time. Yeah, I'm a bum....what!?

We went to Borders and I got a caramel latte. The sweet girl making my drink drew a heart with caramel in my foam. I like her. We should be friends.

We hung out with Robert, Army and Josiah. Josiah is already attempting running and his little legs cannot seem to keep up with his motivation so he falls a lot. However, he is a perfect, little walker now.

We also discussed the kick ass house we would be build and get for them if we won the lottery. We would most certainly be preparing for any zombie apocalypse. I don't know if marrying in to a paranoid family is beneficial to my already paranoid mind. Hmmm....

Weekend is over. :( Boo.

RICA classes start in September. (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) So it looks as though I will be taking those classes. I will update on progress and what not.

..."I never thought I could feel so free-eeee-eeee!".....frickin Ryan.

Today, I was attacked by a mouse

I put this sign on the door to let him know how I feel about him coming in to my office:

Agreed:

7/15/2010: Cazzie Wazzie

Since I haven’t yet brought this up in the blog, figured today was an appropriate time to do it, since it has been on my mind all day long.

On June 9th, 2010, Ryan and I lost our closest “couple” friend, but individually, we’ve lost a lot more. To Ryan, he was his best friend, his brother, the guy he went to war and back with, someone who was just like him in many ways and understood him and so many other things.

For me, he was that person you could trust and rely on. Also, someone you wanted to make sure, that no matter the hour of the night, you were going to be there for him as well. He was the comedian, the one I could rely on when Ryan and I were in two separate states. He was that guy friend that you are protective of and you do not want to see any girl hurt him. He was going to be “Uncle Cazzie” to our kids.

He was many things for many people. This is why it’s such a loss. His helicopter was shot down in Afghanistan while he was on a rescue mission. He died a hero, but we all miss him terribly.

Today I have been thinking about him constantly. Just thinking about how this has changed and affected so many people’s lives. I know, at least for a few, we will take this heartbreak and learn from it. Hopefully we will become better people from this experience.

Everyone misses you like crazy, Cazzie.

Work as usual and off to running class. Got punked by a lizard who refused to move from my rock I sit on to watch the ocean until class starts. Attached is a picture of said lizard:

Love, Love, Love

This weekend was uneventful as usual. We hung pictures around the house and cleaned up a bit. Still getting settled in to the new place. :) It's coming together and feeling more and more like home. :)

Oh yeah, ordered pizza and watched some television. Why do grown men insist on trying to talk to young girls on the internet? I was watching To Catch a Predator. It's even funnier when they are weary of the fact that they might end up on the show and still they go through with it.

Spain won the world cup today and 7-11 had free slurpies. That's about it.

Love to love ya, babe.

Just an update

Update:

It’s been a little over a month since we’ve been married. Seems to have gone by so slow, yet so fast.

My thoughts on weddings:
They are insane. I am glad that Ryan and I are married and no longer have to worry about colors, themes, who’s eating what, who’s wearing what, so on and so forth. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed the ceremony and everything, it’s just such a hectic day.
We escaped for a while after the ceremony to take photos and what not and when finished, we rested in the parking lot at SBCC where we contemplated text messaging someone to say we had been kidnapped and if anyone ever wanted to see us again, they needed to send a large sum of money. Of course, we ended up going to the reception and we had a good time. We were just tired.
I don’t think I ever came too close, but at times I did think I might get sick. The waiting for the ceremony to start was killer. It was nice though, and especially nice to see our friends and family there who were doing our readings for the ceremony. I am so very happy we are married now.
With all of the wedding day bliss behind us, we were able to run off to Disneyland where we could be honeymooners. It was so fabulous and I don’t think I will ever be able to put in to words just how much fun we had.  They upgraded our room at the hotel and everything was beautiful.

My thoughts on the “married life”
It’s awesome. A lot of people have asked me if I feel different or if our relationship is different. In some ways it is, in others it’s not. We still act the same but for me; some of the feelings are different. I feel “closer” for lack of a less cheesy word. I don’t know if it is something I will ever be able to put in to words, but it’s a wonderful feeling. 
I’m sure throughout my blog, I’ll have a lot more thoughts on this subject but for now, I’ll leave it at this. Don’t worry, I know this is boring, but it’s not really for you anyway.  it’s for me!
