Wedded Bliss + The Future
Well we have been happily married for about a month and a half. Life is great.
A recap on a little recent stuff, as most of you may know, Rob, unfortunately, did not make it into the state police academy. We were both a little disappointed, but now know that God has other plans for us. If Rob so decides he can reapply in 2 years. We aren't sure at this moment if he will do that or see if something else comes along.
This past weekend we found ourselves over in the Frandor area conveniently while the Ingham County Animal Shelter was having their 30 hr Adopt-A-Fest for lots of dogs and cats. Of course we couldn't not stop by there to see what they had, despite the fact we can't have a dog in our current apartment. There were so many dogs there (we didn't look at the cats) and we got to pet and love on them! I was in heaven! We ended up talking to one of the workers from the shelter and she was very informative about what their volunteer program is, and how fostering works etc. It sounds like Rob and I may start volunteering there in the near future. I think it would be a lot of fun, and a good way for Rob and I to spend time together doing something that benefits the animals and helps out the shelter! Who knows, maybe Rob will even get to know a little more about the animal control officers and what they do...
Anyways, near future holds that we are working on our budgets to get things squared away so that we can purchase a house in the next year. We've been looking on and off for a while and nothing really has perked either of our interest, but we also are not in a rush seeing as we signed a new lease in April and that goes for a year. Hopefully when the right house goes on the market, we will get our opportunity to claim it as ours. We will be sure to keep you all posted :)

Honeymoon near over
Well, its our last day here in Myrtle Beach. Around 5 this evening we will be arriving in Detroit to journey back to Lansing.
I have to say, I do miss home every time I leave, but the more and more I come down here [Myrtle Beach], the more it becomes hard to go back. I'm sure that would be the case anywhere in actuality, but I think this place has a lot of familiarity to it. I learn every time I come down here. Learn the local roads, how to get to places, the local eats etc. My parents have really lucked out with their retirement and relocation. They are lucky to call this place home. Maybe some day I will be able to do the same...
So anyways, honeymoon has been great. We've explored new places and I took a TON of photos [near 500 I believe]. Highlights, well who I am kidding, the whole trip was a highlight, a start of our new life and journey together... we saw Brookgreen Gardens, explored the USS Yorktown and USS Laffey in Mt. Pleasant. Visited historic Charleston, saw bottlenose dolphins on our Fort Sumter tour, took a horse and carriage ride.... visited the beach and watched a few people catch some small sharks off of the pier. Went golfing [and putt putt]. Ate with the locals. This trip, was truly amazing and I can't wait to visit here again.
Now on to our not so relaxing weekend- tonight we arrive home and swing by our place, swap out some stuff and head to St. Johns for Relay for Life festivities. Tomorrow the plan is to finish Thank Yous from our wedding and get those out! And then back to the daily grind on Monday (boo).
Anyways, you should see some photos surfacing from our wedding (and our honeymoon) the next few days and weeks :) Wedding photos are waiting for us at home :D Cannot wait to see those, share them, print them and reminisce on the day :)
See you all soon :)

Wedding is over!
Thank you to everyone for sharing in our special day!! It was so sooo very perfect. We couldn't have ever imagined or dreamed it would turn out as well as it did (not to think it wouldn't be a good day, but rarely do weddings go perfectly as planned)
Married life is wonderful, btw! We've just reached the week + some days mark. We finalized our B&B reservations for our honeymoon, which we leave for next week :) I am very excited for that! Can't wait not only to vacation with my hubby, but just to relax and not be at work!
Photographer says photos will be done soon, so hopefully I will be posting some photos. There are lots on facebook though, if you haven't seen them - from our photographer, videographer, friends and family!
Post wedding news:
Rob's moving forward with his State Police Application, so send prayers and cross your fingers for him. Last week, trooper Herman did some home visits to get an idea of the person Rob was as part of his background check. I believe our place (to talk to me) was the last stop on his list of places... to my knowledge. The trooper said all was well and that he was typing up his list sending it on to Lansing so they could contact him for his hiring interview to the academy! Please please please keep him in your thoughts and prayers as he *hopefully* moves forward to his dream job!
Much Love

Single Digits!
Well we've reached the single digits - 9 more days. It is so hard to believe. Though Rob and I have been at each others throats during this stress, let me emphasize STRESSful time, we are so happy to finally be reaching our big day... It will be nice to have "free time" or "Non-wedding time"... I would love to do some more photography!
All that is left to be done is place cards, wrapping presents (plus buying a few more) and um... that's about it! My hair cut/color and test 'updo is tomorrow - Robbie is getting his chopped the day before...
Tee times are set up for the day of for the men to golf... We were able to gain access for the reception hall and chapel for night before (Yay, a lot less stressed because of this). Rehearsal is squared away + dinner following. If you aren't sure if you're invited check with me or Rob or Marian (we just emailed her yesterday with Rob's side of the family).
I can finally count down number of days till "Happy Ever After", new last name and less stress... oh yes, and a very loving husband! Can't wait! <3
