So, if I had it my way, I'd be an awesome cook, and I'd always keep the house clean like my idol housewives of the 1950's. But in reality, I'm super lazy and a terrible cook. I hate doing all the laundry, cleaning and dishes by myself, but it's something I'm working on!
Last night I made puppy chow and it was absolutely delicious. I'm really in the mood to make all kinds of goodies such as sugar and chocolate chip cookies, rice crispie treats, puppy chow, brownies...so I may do that for Christmas! Also, I'd love to make white chocolate covered pretzels.
So cooking, is definitely something I'm going to need to continue to work on. I really like cooking, I'm just not that great at it. Often times, I don't have the necessary ingredients to make something awesome from the cookbooks. But, I will continue to work on it and maybe in a couple years, I will have the awesome housewife thing down!

A Little Catching Up
So, here's a little bit of an update on us from the wedding until now.
Obviously, we are married and living in a great little house half a block from the lake! A couple weeks after the wedding, we decided to get a dog. We went to the Sioux City humane society and brought home a beautiful Border Collie mix named Missy. She is four years old. She was really a great dog. Very intelligent. Unfortunately, our time with Missy was cut short. She was becoming too aggressive for us, so we made the difficult decision to give her up. We love and miss her very much, but she will go to a much better home.
On September 30, we celebrated 5 wonderful years together. We went to Omaha, did some Halloween shopping and spent the evening eating delicious food and playing fun games at Dave and Buster's. It was a lot of fun.
Since we were very sad about having to say goodbye to Missy, we made the decision to get a puppy! Our baby boy is 7 weeks old and we've named him COOPER! He is an Australian Shepard. He's definitely a handful because he's so young, but he's a lot of fun!

Our House!
In the months leading up to our wedding, we were thinking we'd have to reside in my tiny one bedroom apartment. It was kind of depressing because there was barely enough room for my stuff let alone his. And we both really wanted a place that was "ours" not "mine".
A couple weeks before the wedding we went to look at some houses for rent that the university owns. We fell in love with one and a few days later I found myself packing up the apartment!
We were very excited to be moving into our 2 bedroom house. The weekend before the wedding, we got the keys and moved everything in! All I wanted was to get things put away and make the house our home. But that would have to wait until after the wedding because I was going to be back home all week.
So now, everything is put away and unpacked finally! I'm still doing things here and there to make it feel more like home, but we love it here! The only problem is we don't have enough stuff! In the apartment we had more stuff then room and now we have way more room then stuff. But it's okay! It just means I need to go shopping!! ;)

The Wedding
What can I say? August 8, 2009 was the greatest day of my life. I promised myself to my best friend...forever! What can be greater than that?
I must say that the day before was one of the most stressful days of my life what with the tuxes being all screwed up and the guys being 45 minutes late to the rehearsal dinner. But when I woke up on Saturday morning, I just had an indescribable feeling of relief. I knew that no matter what would go right or wrong, that day would still be perfect.
Getting my hair done was of course fun! Although looking back at the pictures now, I wish I would have been a bit more picky. I don't think my hair looked at all the way I wanted it to, but I didn't even notice, really.
All day long, waiting up to the ceremony, I just wanted to be married. I was just so excited. We both had decided that Chris was not to see me until the moment the doors opened and I walked down the aisle. There were a couple of times where we had a close call, but our wedding party was very good at keeping us separate.
I can't recall any other day where I've felt more beautiful or more loved.
The few seconds leading up to my walking down the aisle were full of nerves and anticipation. Watching my girls walk down the aisle was so much fun; and then it was my turn! I always thought I would be bawling down the aisle because of my daddy giving me away. But the music started, the doors opened and I saw Chris's face. Any nerve I had washed away. I felt nothing but love and excitement. I was finally becoming Chris's wife!
I was focused on not crying during the ceremony, but Gabby started singing and I lost it. She did such a beautiful job, and I'm so thankful to her. Saying our vows was a moment I will never forget and then we kissed. Finally husband and wife! The moment we've waited for for so long.
I can't express how happy I am to have our friends and family there. It was great to see some that I hadn't seen in awhile, and for Chris to meet them! I really want to thank our parents and wedding party for putting up with us (me :P). To my girls: You were all so beautiful. Guys: you were handsome as ever! And our parents: We'd be lost without you. We love you all so very much. Thanks for sharing our day with us!
