Married!!!!

Its about time! It has been a busy couple months, getting married and moving and all that requires! However I am proud to say Alex and I have been married for a month now!

The wedding:
It went SO well! It was pretty fun to have everyone in town for the wedding. I did find it very stressful to do all the wedding stuff while try to have fun with all the out of town guest. Alex was VERY patient with me, I admit I probably was not the nicest to him. That week I barely slept, felt sick to my stomach, and had no appetite to eat! It was terrible and hope I never will have to go though that again! the actual wedding date was so much fun! I had my good friends Ashley and Rachel be my personal attendant and they were amazing helping, as well as my mom and a bunch of family friends. It seemed like everything fell into place! My most favorite time was when the photographer, Ashley, Alex, and I went out and took pictures on the town. It was nice to get away and they look so nice!!! I am just glad that wedding day is OVER!!!


Then we went to Dunns River Sandals resort.
THAT WAS AWESOME!! It was so much fun just relaxing with Alex. WE had room service so that was nice late at night for that late night snack! We got to go do the zip line, a ski lift kind of thing though the rain forest, snorkeling, climb a huge water fall, go on a mini cruise kinda thing, shop on the town, and most of all relax!! It was fun, however towards the end we were just ready to go home and get on with life. Being away from home for 3 and a half weeks is way to long. However, Alex and I loved it there and would love to go back someday to Jamaica!


Home! We had the Iowa reception that Friday we got back and it was so amazing. We had good food, lots of friends, and a fun time. Alex's mom did a great job with that! It was fun to have my good friends PAm and Joanna come down and stay with us in our new guest bedroom!!


Then our house.... we got most of it organized, out with all the old stuff, in with the new. We were given very generous gifts which we are very thankful for. We were able to get a VERY nice new Weber Grill, a wicker table for our Jamaican sunroom ( for entertaining in the summertime!) , a new dyson vacuum ( the most AWESOME THING EVER!) , and got a bunch of other nice things which add to our house. Alex and I feel so blessed to have such great gifts and we hope in the future we can show such generosity that what shown to us. I am so proud of the house we have decorated and hope that people can come visit AND STAY with us in our guest bedroom. I also got a wonderful husband. Today I came home he has the laundry going, fixing the rest of the supper I had cooking in the crock pot, had the table set, dog fed and brushed, and someone lined up to clean all the carpets tomorrow!!! I know.. he is wonderful... :) I am blessed and I am SO thankful that God had it in his plans that I would end up in Iowa for college and eventually end up living here!!!!!!!!!!!!! With that I will give you some pictures......
