time for an update

I haven't posted anything in a while, so I thought I would do a quick update. As of last Monday, we have officially been husband and wife for a month! My employer has officially changed my name and all of that good stuff. We really haven't done too much recently. We did have a first for us though, last Thursday night the dinner I cooked made Pete sick. I knew it would happen and it sucked just as much as I thought it would. Saturday, we had our shower/reception to celebrate with the extended family and friends that couldn't make it to the wedding. We had a decent turn out and received a lot of amazing stuff. We used some of our gift cards to buy a Soda Stream, which is turning out to be really awesome! A bonus to have this celebration a month after the wedding was that we received a canvas print of one of our wedding pictures, a framed honeymoon picture, and a calendar made out of our honeymoon pictures! We also got some AMAZING Kenneth Cole Reaction towels. I know they are pricey, but they are like wrapping up in a cloud! Because we had a good bit of people not show up to the shower, and we bought way too many mason jars to be use as cups/favors, we now have about 50 pint size mason jars just sitting in our very small kitchen. I'm constantly looking to pintrest for something to do with them, because I do not can anything.

Wednesday marks the beginning of the school year for me, I go back to work at 6:45 AM. That means, as of 6:46 AM Wednesday  I will start my countdown to the end of the school year! I am a 185 day employee, so I will not see my students until August 7. I just hope that this year is a little easier than last year, but we'll see what happens.

Tomorrow, I am keeping my nephews for a larger portion of the day. They are 5 and 22 months old. I do not exactly have a house that is ready for children. Don't get me wrong, we don't have breakable and expensive stuff everywhere, we just don't have a lot of toys and activities for children. I'm both excited and nervous about this. My hope is that the weather isn't terribly hot or raining and we can spend a good bit of time at the local park.

I hope everyone has a good week!
