Here Come The Newlyweds

So after a month of being married, I am going to peep my head back out into the blogging world. This is our "new" blog where I will be updating from now on.

I find myself in this oxymoronic position of feeling like so much has happened and still being shocked that a month has already passed. At the same time, I've found myself thinking that the last month has been so busy but I hardly feel like we've done anything! It isn't true, of course, and my husband is always the first to try and remind me of the things I accomplish that seem trivial. Sometimes at the end of a long day, just getting the dishes done before bed is a lot. However, we are completely moved in to our sweet little apartment. Every week or so something appears in it that makes it more "homey." We bought a chair and couch and hung some things on the wall. We have a TV now and then a few pieces of unfinished furniture in the process of being reborn (one of those being a table, which we've done without the last four weeks).

After a night or two out, one of us always turns to the other and says, "I miss you!" and then we proceed to stay home for the next couple of days. This may mean staying home playing Battleship or making dinner. We've gotten into watching "The Office" and have actually gulped all four seasons. However, the only actual television we watch is "Here Come The Newlyweds." The season began our first night in Galveston and the only way I've been able to keep up with it is online as our antenna is not hooked up. Joshua very graciously acquiesces to my once-a-week-one-hour indulgence.

This last weekend, we had several people over for a Lord of the Rings Extended Edition marathon. It had been much talked about in months previous so we finally pulled it off, complete with Middle-Earth fare. We have come to the full realization that we are a nerdy couple (in addition in our own rite). He likes Serenity, Firefly, sci-fi, comics, and things of that nature. I adore literature and Lord of the Rings. For the most part, we respect that line although every now and then I maintain that I get bumped up a rank for liking literature, but once you start actually trying to measure these things, you realize just how far gone you really are. :)

As soon as I figure out a way to get my silly camera hooked up to my computer (somehow in all the moving the cord went missing!) I will share pictures of our honeymoon and home. We've been able to browse our wedding photos but they're not quite ready for general viewing yet. Trust me, I'm anxious to share!
