well...I am finally doing it...I'm writing an entry for my blog.
So Andrew and I married 5 months ago on January 3, 2009. It was a fabulous wedding with all of our favorite people. After our honeymoon in Maui, which was just fabulous, we moved into our apartment in the galleria area of Houston. After 5 months, I only have one thing hung up on our walls (a painting Pops did) ...o and 2 things in the bathroom, but that's it. I know I'm behind.
For the first 2 months, I unpacked and wifey things while looking for a job. Not really the best time to look for a job...so I applied with a nanny agency and was set up with a family. I don't feel comfortable using their names on the world wide web without their permission so I will just use initials. C is a 3 year old boy and A is a 6 year old boy....and boy....are they a hand full! I work 50 hours a week and it's a lot of work but very rewarding.
Andrew has been working with Frost Bank since last June and just loves it! He is so blessed to be at a bank that is doing so well during these hard times. He is in a training program to become a commercial lender. Right now he is doing credit analyst stuff for the lenders. I'm not really sure how it all works but I think that's about right.
About a month ago, maybe more, Andrew started a softball team with other frost guys that have the same position as him. Then a few weeks ago Andrew joined a men's softball team with the church and I joined a coed team with our sunday school class. I really have no idea what I'm doing...but I don't seem to be too bad. Last thurdsay I was the third person to trip running to third base and I have a nice strawberry because of it. This is just all so new to me.
Since we got married we have been to about 4 Astro's games, a hockey game, saw Legally Blonde: the musical, The Wizard of the Oz: the Musical, and Swan Lake. I have also been to the zoo and the children's museum and museum of natural science. Houston may be frustrating at times but it has soooo much to offer!
We have been attending Second Baptist and are members of the Nearly Wed/ Newly Wed class for engaged couples and couples within their first year of marriage. We really enjoy our class but haven't really made any friends yet. We attended the contemporary service that Ben Young (Ed Young's son) usually preaches at. I never thought I would like going to a HUGE church...but it seems to really fit with where we are in our life right now.
I don't know how many of you know, but I lost my wedding band on Memorial Day/Andrew's birthday. We were at the park to celebrate his bday and brought along gloves and some softballs. I couldn't put my mitt on with my 2 rings so I put them in my purse. Later that evening, only my engagement ring was in my purse. I wasn't too upset becuase I was pretty sure it was insured and I was really relieved that it wasn't my engagement ring. I also thought that it could be in Andrew's car or our apartment. Well, we never found it and found out that it wasn't insured....I was sick...and still devestated about it, but it is just a ring....and let me tell you i will NEVER lose a ring again! Right now I am wearing my grandmothers ring until we get a replacement but it still won't be the same.
Well this entry is getting kind of lengthy...but I will make more!
