An actually up-to-date update.. and some old pictures =)

Okay, so that last blog was one that I published about a month or so ago. Wow does time fly! Not all that much has happened between then and now, but Will did finish his first semester with a 4.0 and he's about to start again tomorrow. I'm really proud of him for going to school and getting a degree, especially because I know that he likes working a lot more than he likes school. But for now I'm grateful for the opportunity to support us before we start making babies and he's the one bringing home the bacon =).

So here are a couple of pictures of things that I want to make note of.. first of all, our Christmas was kind of hard because we not only had the poorness of being newly married to contend with, but Will chose to stop receiving unemployment benefits because he felt wrong about it and I was not getting very many hours at work. Our Christmas was very small, especially because we hadn't gotten the 'big package' from Will's parents. In addition, the Sunday after our cars (yeah, both of them) got broken into and we had to pay for replacing the windows. While that was being done we found out that Will's car needed new rotors, which was even more money we didn't really have. After coming home from this frustrating venture we found that the big package had come at time we really needed a good Christmas =)

It was so wonderful to feel the love of our family after such a hard day =)

After Christmas, Will did a wonderful job making me feel special on my birthday.I wasn't really expecting a lot because at the time Will and I were not the richest people in the world. However, when I got home from work on Friday he did his hair up (which I really like and he knows it) and looked really nice, and said that I should shower (because when I worked out in the field that was always the first thing I did when I got home) and get ready because we're going out to eat! Before we leave, however, he says that he "needs to go to the store" to "get some soda". Instead he comes home with potatoes (!?) and says that he "forgot" about the soda. So we go out to eat steak at Applebee's, which was a lot of fun, then when we get home he asked me to walk across the street to the store to get the soda and to pick some ice cream up for me. I consented, thinking that it was wierd he asked me to do it. When I got home he had a cake all ready for me, complete with candles. It was such a wonderful surprise =).

This picture was actually taken the next day, as my hair is not how I like and there are significant portions of the cake gone because of the yumminess of it. In addition, Will turned the "26" into "62" for funnies. =)

In addition, we were also able to attend my sister Marie's wedding, at which we had fun being the newlywed couple. James, her new husband, did not bring a suit jacket and so Will reluctantly loaned his:

And I found that weddings are more fun after you're married. =)

Anyway I think that's all for now. Hope this keeps my small amount of followers entertained until next time =)
