More Snow

We got at least a foot more snow yesterday. Casey, Kory, Rachael, and I went sledding. I wish I had pictures of Casey's spectacular wipeouts. He is so cute. We had lots of fun and then celebrated our friend Brigham's birthday here at our apartment. It was great to have people over. The apartment is perfect for parties, except for the slightly weird location. That's all for now.

21 years or 2 months

So today was my 21st birthday. It was pretty uneventful, but nice. Got up, went to church, made some bread and a cake, and then hung out with some friends for a while. The good stuff was yesterday. Casey, Kory, Rachael, and I drove up to the Temple and did some sealings. It was wonderful. I wish I could live down the street from the Temple so I could go there all the time.

After the Temple we went back down to Mo's house to see her and steal her away to the Terra Cotta Warrior exhibit in DC. Sadly, it was sold out. We went back to Mo's and had dinner. It was wonderful! Then the four of us headed back home. We made a quick stop at Casey's parent's for some strawberry cake with yummy whipped cream frosting; my fave! We finally dragged our butts to bed at midnight, but that was an awesome birthday eve.

Casey and I have been married for 2 months now. It is great. We don't fight or really get very mad at each other at all. People keep saying it will happen, but I don't think so.

Our honeymoon cruise was AMAZING!!! We had so much fun, ate way too much food, and spent far too much money, but in the end I wouldn't trade it for anything! We went to Progreso and Cozumel Mexico. I liked Progreso better because we got to go see the Dzibilchaltun ruins. We climbed all over the stones and took lots of pictures. Cozumel was too windy for us to do anything on the beach trip, but I did some reading and Casey napped. On the ship, Casey was in the Hairy Chest Competition. Very funny. He lost, but I still think he is very hairy and fun. He also competed in one of the game show things they had... and lost. We played giant chess and Chinese checker too. It was just wonderful.

School is going well so far. We are both keeping up with our classes and trying to keep sane. We will see how that goes when midterms get here.

That is all for the Adams family *snap snap* for now,

<3

Marital Bliss

We are loving married life. I sit and write this as the snow outside piles up on our porch and everywhere else. So far we have at least a foot, most likely far more than that. Anyway, back to married life.

We just finished finals. Our Christmas break will be simultaneously relaxing and busy. Lots of time with Casey's family and some time with my mom, then our cruise. I am really excited to go with Casey. It has been 4 years since my last and only cruise. Casey has never been. It will be a great honeymoon.

Life is just wonderful! Our apartment is Christmasy, presents are under the tree, and our fireplace dvd helps us think we are warm in this chilly basement. Maybe I should make something in the oven =P

Here We Go

So we are now officially sealed together for time and all eternity! Yesterday was exhausting and we were very glad to be home at the end of it.

We got to the temple at 8:30ish for me to go through and we were sealed at 12:30. It was so wonderful! Words cannot fully express how amazing the gospel is. I am so grateful for everything that I have been able to learn and do.

We were 45 mins late to our reception, but it was great. The food was wonderful and everything was just awesome. Mariel got some wonderful pictures and I can't wait to see them.

Today we are just relaxing, opening presents, and unpacking my stuff. The apartment is a mess right now, but it will get better =).

That is all for now, thanks to all who came and saw us sealed, came to the reception, and especially everyone who prayed for my dad to be home!

So close!

My dad is home!!!! He got to the ATL airport at about 7 this morning! I can't express how grateful I am for prayer and the people who have kept us in theirs! Wow... talk about tender mercies of the Lord.

Everything is in place and we are moving forth with the wedding. So, on Tuesday I will shed my single status and enter the ranks of the married women.

This past Tuesday I met with the stake president and he signed my wonderful shiny (not really) new temple recommend. I am so thrilled to get to go to the temple I can hardly stand it!

Life is good.

No!

Life is great!

No!

Life is AMAZING!

Single Digits

We are down to the wire here. Everything is in place, my dad is on his way home, the wedding stuff is pretty much all taken care of, and I am pretty much keeping up with my schoolwork.

I discovered today that it takes me about almost 2 full hours to do my hair. An hour and 10 mins of that are just curling it! Thank goodness I will have help. With 2 curling irons going it should g much faster.

Who would have thought that everything could fall into place so quickly. It seems like time has been non-existent lately. People say how long it seems to take right before you get married. I have discovered that the days are long, but they pass faster than I would have ever thought possible. So, soon Casey and I will be sealed together for time and all eternity. I can't wait.

Wow!

I had my temple recommend appointment with my bishop today. I am so excited I can hardly stand it! I get to go to the temple and be able to have all the blessings of the temple. To quote Pride and Prejudice: "It is too much! It is too much! I wish that everyone could be as happy as I am!"

Cake is taken care of and that was the last thing other than getting my train bustled that was on my list. Done done done! Now I just have to wait... ugh.
