6 month hiatus

So can we just act like that never happened? That would be great.

Here is a little picture dump/update on what we have been up to over the last 6 months.  I seriously have not had time to sit down and type but I am committed to sticking with this this time because I so enjoy being able to look back and see what has happened and how I felt. I have the most horrible memory ever so I need to write it down!

So here are my last 6 months in a nutshell

When I abruptly left blogging school was about to start we were looking to close on our first house within the next month and trying to figure out when to get married in all of that.  Oh yeah football season was around the corner too. So here is how all of that worked out


I went wedding dress shopping with my BFF. (This wasn't the winner but was a runner up....


School started and I had to put two names on my door because my name hadn't officially changed yet.

Football season started. Luckily for us it was on a Thursday because....

The next day we got hitched!  This is my favorite picture from that day.  We just went to the courthouse with close family.  It was a wonderful day because when we left the courthouse we got to go....

 home!  Yeah we rented for 3 weeks before officially closing but we picked up the keys and moved in the night we got married.  We had a tv, futon and a coffee maker in there that night.  (Which really what more do you need in life lol) I am smiling just remembering that night and it was only 6 months ago!


Jacob wasted no time going to get his pool table and setting it up in the shed/man cave out back.  


Then we closed on our house.  This has nothing to do with closing it just happens to be a picture from that day.  Jacob rode top down and I followed in my vehicle because I had things to return from showers.

 We picked out paint.  We went with the lighter blue for our kitchen, a brownish/greenish color (second from the top I think) in the living room/hallway and the second from the bottom color for our bedroom.  
 I made laundry detergent.  I made this in September and I am still using the same contained.  I have like half the container left. I am extremely happy with this detergent and I will share the process next time I make it.

One morning I woke up to this. Those are bubbles on our kitchen floor.  (Yeah Jacob is sitting at the bar and didn't even notice the bubbles)  We have no idea why it happened (no it wasn't dish soap on anything) and it hasn't happened since.

We went to some Bama games...

...where Jacob watched his own film between plays.

We ripped up some scraggly bushes in the front (and trimmed back those huge crepe myrtles)


 I passed out candy for Trick or Treaters.  Even though we are only one street back from my parents and grandparents we got like half of the people here.  It was nice.

We went on a little honeymoon.  After football season was over we headed out for Gatlinburg and the Smokey Mountains.  It was fabulous and much needed.



Last weekend I painted our front door and shutters.

Other very important things happened too like Christmas but apparently I didn't take any picture.  

Right now we are iced in.  You read that right.  We are iced in in Alabama.  Lower Alabama at that.  Last Friday it kind of sleeted all day and then snowed a little that evening with nothing sticking.  Then it was warm all weekend.  In the 60s on Monday.  Then Monday night a cold front came in and we are now snowed in. It started Tuesday morning and there was sleet/freezing rain all day.  Seriously everything is covered in ice. We were out of school yesterday and today and this morning found out we are out tomorrow too because so many roads are impassable.  There are a couple of inches of ice on roads and it will be refreezing tonight so tomorrow will be day 3 of watching reruns for us.  I will have picture next week I just haven't uploaded them yet.

So there is my last 6 months in a nutshell.  I don't plan any hiatus again in the future =)
