1 Glorious Year

So, this is a day late, but here is my anniversary post.

1 year ago I married my best friend. He is the most wonderful man I've ever met. This may sound cheesy, but he really does complete me. I am a neurotic mess sometimes and he helps me see that things are not as bad as I am making them. He is calm. If I had married someone just like me, I would not be happy. I needed Casey more than I ever knew. I sure do love him.

So, in the past -almost- three months we have both still been plugging away at school. Casey is back at the Hut. Working and doing school has been hard for him, but he always stays positive. My three business classes are difficult, but I am at least going to pass them. Next semester brings Senior Art Show. That will be very intense.

That is really all that has been going on in our little family.

*Insert Creative Title Here*

We are back here at school after an arduous summer filled with car repairs, fests, and APX. Casey's car needed a new radiator the day before we were going to head back. We also had to rent a uhaul to get the rest of our stuff back home. I made the decision to leave early and drive all night Friday. It ended up being a really good decision since a 14 hour drive ended up being an 18 hour drive with the uhaul. Driving all night wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The energy drink I had ripped up my system and kept me nice and awake. We got home at about 4 pm Saturday and had amazing friends come help us move back in to the apartment.

Classes started on August 30th and we are both fully into the swing of things. I am taking 3 business classes and am a little overwhelmed already. I chose the business minor as kind of a passing thing. I really wish I had chosen something I enjoy more, but I figure I can suffer through this and have it to put on a resume. I'm just grateful for and amazing husband who helps me get through the stress.

That is all for now.

My Heart is in the South

I love my parents house. I love their little city. I love the south! I just got back from a week of hanging out with my friends and parents, making some super cute skirts, and watching a lot of movies. I don't have a whole lot else to say. I am back here with Casey and we have a little less than 3 weeks before we head back to school. The sales reps are still doing really well so Casey is happy about that, but he is ready to head back to school too. We are both just done with being here.

So long summer, hello having something productive to do!

5 Weeks Left

We have had some interesting things happen in the past little while. My car decided to have the same issue for the second time this year. Cylinder 2 was misfiring and we would have had to replace the cylinder head. Since we are poor young married college students, we decided to just sell it. We got 700 for it which is more than I hoped for considering the issue. I was not sad to see it go. I really hated that car for most of the time I had it. It was nothing but trouble for me. So we are down to one car and will have to get a uhaul to get our stuff back, but it is cheaper than replacing an cylinder head.

Thing number 2 was Casey's birthday celebration. We had it yesterday so that Casey could work today and get more jobs. We went to Cempazuchi, a Mexican restaurant here in Milwaukee, and it was wonderful. Casey wanted to go because Guy Fieri ate there. Y'all should Youtube it and check it out. After that we went and looked at TVs at Target. When we get the backend check we are going to buy a nice big flat-screen. Well... big for me is smaller than most people would consider big, but anyway that isn't important. After that we wandered around Barnes and Noble for a bit and then headed over to German Fest. We ate good food, listened to some excellent German music, and watched a live Glockenspiel just to name a few things. It was very fun. Casey thoroughly enjoyed himself and so did I.

The final thing is that I get to go to my parents for a week in August. I am really looking forward to seeing my parents and friends. And then less than a month after I come back to WI we will be heading home! That is about it for now from us.

At Long Last

After far too long, I am updating my blog. Life has been pretty eventful since my last post. We went to Disney World with Mariel and Erik and my mom. It was awesome! I would post pictures, but I don;t have any. We spent the first day at Magic Kingdom. I loved it! I have been to Disneyland, but this was so much better than that. We walked all over and rode tons of rides. The lines were pretty short so we didn't have to wait around. It was sweet. The best part of the day was meeting Belle. She is my favorite Disney princess by far. The fireworks over the castle were just amazing. When they told us to "have a magical day" at the front gate, they meant it.

Day 2 was EPCOT. It was nice to go on rides that involved sitting. Casey and I rode Spaceship Earth 3 times in 3 different languages. English, Spanish, and German. Yeah, we are nerds. Soarin' was probably my favorite ride. It was amazing! I felt like I was going to get my feet wet in ocean. It was crazy! The firework/laser show was ok, I liked the one at Magic Kingdom better. I wish we could have spent more time at the World's Showcase, but one day is just not enough.

The last day we went to Hollywood Studios. It rained like crazy pretty much all day. I would have to say that my favorite ride was the Rockin' Roller Coaster, although the Tower of Terror is a close second. We were pretty much soaked the entire time. It was great!! There were hardly any people there and that made it all the better. We left before the laser and fireworks because they weren't sure if they were going to happen.

The Orlando Temple was the last thing we did on Spring Break. It is really beautiful. It was the first time I had been to the Temple with my mom since my wedding. After that we drove back to GA then to VA. School ended on a high note since we both got good grades.

Right after school got out we came out here to WI. APX "forgot" that Casey was married so we lived in an extended stay hotel for 5 weeks. We finally got into our apartment and I love it! It is fantastic! I am much happier here in WI now that I am not in that dumb hotel.

On the 19th we had our final open house. Linda took care of everything which was really nice. After the open house, Casey flew back to WI and I drove down to school for the week. It was a simultaneously good and kinda crappy week. I locked my keys in my car, there was lots of wedding drama(my friend Ann's wedding was Saturday), and I really missed my husband. Girl's night, shopping, swimming, and hanging out with friends made it bearable.

That is it for now. I hope you enjoyed this lengthy installment of our lives.

Disney Here We Come!

We are going to Disney World for spring break! I can hardly wait. I have never been to Disney World, but Casey has. I have been to Disney Land though so I am pretty excited to have both on my list of places I've been.

On a completely unrelated note, my dad should be home for good before his birthday, which is the 31st of next month. I am so glad that he will be home so soon. My mom is way past ready for him to get back. So that means... bum buh BUM!

Wedding Open House in PTC! We will have it on the 24th of April. We don't have a location yet, but my mom is on that like white on rice. I might update more about that as the time draws closer. I am actually really looking forward to it.

That's really all the exciting news in our lives. Love to all,

The Adams

Wisconsin?

So, we will most likely be in Wisconsin for Casey's job this summer. He is working for APX alarm systems again. I hope we will be near my cousin, but it all depends on where the sales are good.

Some very exciting news! I saw grass today!!! The snow may be abating at last! No more cold, wet toes. Also, I will be able to get my car registered in VA to go along with my eventually change in residency. I need to get on that eventually. I have stuff filled out and all that. I just need to go to the DMV and do it. Blech!

On another pleasant note, Professor Himes gave me a great complement by saying that I am excelling at monotypes in printmaking. I will get pictures up on facebook eventually. Other than that life is pretty average. I love my hubby and that is all that really matters!
