I thought life would settle down...

Well, we brought in a wonderful start to the new year. We are so excited for all the big changes in store for us in 2010! Which is why we wanted to start this blog. We figured it was a good way to keep in touch with our friends and family.

Month one of being newlyweds has flown by! And...in 3 days, we leave on our honeymoon!! We're taking a Caribbean cruise to the Bahamas, Grand Turk, Puerto Rico, and St. Thomas. We're so excited for our first vacation as a married couple! It is a much welcomed break from the cold weather and the craziness of college.

Getting settled into marriage was a lot easier than I had expected it to be. With our busy schedules, everything just fell into place where it could. It works out to our advantage that Phillip is very laid back and easy going. It's a nice complement to my OCDness.

Phillip started Air Force ROTC this semester and it has kept him extremely busy. I feel like I married his dirty laundry...I sure see it a lot more than I see him! I'm taking 15 hours of classes, trying to get as much school done as fast as possible, and trying to learn how to be domestic enough to get dinner on the table every night. Thanks to our moms and their amazing (not to mention simple) recipes- I've been pretty successful!

Currently our life is really hectic with our 2 fur babies (both dogs). Since Dixie has moved in, the dog hair has increased, but Bella's energy has decreased. I feel like that's an acceptable trade off. Despite the decrease in energy, the girls still think that every minute is playtime. Even when it's bedtime!! They both crowd into our little queen bed (Dixie is 50 pounds for those who don't know). It definitely makes for an interesting night's sleep!

We had our first visitors this month! Just day visits, we have no extra room in the apartment! Phillip's mom came up the week after the wedding for work and cooked us dinner. It was so fun to get to use all of the new dishes and wedding presents. I think I'm going to enjoy entertaining at the apartment now!

About 2 weeks ago, Mom and Dad came up to help Brad and Akiko move into their new house! We had a fun time visiting with everyone. The house is AMAZING and I am super jealous of all the room that they have!

Sorry for the long post! Lots to catch up on!
