The Life of a Newly Wed

Amanda, Me, Lindsey before we started

The view. It was amazing.

Lindsey and I again.

And again.

And again.

On the top!

Can you find me? Lindsey was kind enough to take me on a black. Ugh.

The sweet note left on my car from the guys who parked behind us. They were so sweet and way gay! They were very good skiiers and one was wearing shorts!

Lindsey and I in my yard.

The bottom!

The final product.

OKay, that took forever! I will post more later.

Right now, it is currently 3 degrees where I live. Wonderful! I'm so tired of the cold. The bright side though is that it is suppose to get up to 50 here this weekend which is amazing! I can't wait. Any time that it goes about freezing I pull out the flip flops! When you are use to being int he 20's, the 50's is almost equal to 70's in Texas.

Amanda and Lindsey aren't going to believe me when I tell them that it really is cold here!

Mark called around 11:30 last night and they got the job done. This is the first job in Williamsport to go all the way through! He and Eric are are there way home as we speak which is great. He said that he's not going into the office today and wants to spend the day with me. Woo Hoo. He wont be so excited about that though when he is running the vacuum from Hell. (My vacuum has seen it's better day and I want a dyson so I refuse to buy another $150 vacuum that will just crap out on my in a few months)

I probably wont be updating much this weekend since the girls are going to be here. I will be back Sunday/Monday-ish with lots of pictures I'm sure!

Have a great weekend!

Kate

Meet Me, Kate. I am the only one who will ever post to this blog so you will always be able to guarantee that I am the words of the blog.

Next we have our parents because lets face it, without them, Mark and I would not be here!

Mine are on the left, his are on the right.

Now for a better picture of my parents.....

And Marks parents......This picture pretty much sums it all up!

And of course I have a little brother, I am just lacking on pictures of him. Once I find one, I will post it!

You have been warned, there are lots of pics in this post!

Oh where oh where did my husband go, oh where oh where could be be?

These are the flowers my MIL sent me when we lost the baby. She's so sweet.

This is my amazing friend Stephanie (who was also in my wedding). She called me today out of the blue just to tell me that she missed me and wanted me to come back to Texas. That always makes me smile. She got married three weeks before Mark and I(BTW, Holy Cow my hair was LONG)

The two with the arrows over their heads are coming tomorrow and I could not be more excited. We are going to go skiing on Friday and we're planning on having an amazing weekend. Lindsey comes in at 9:00Pm and Amanda at 11:30PM.

Lindsey (The one on the right) and I have been great friends since I was a sophomore in high school. We have had our ups and downs and most of the time we don't live close to each other but she is an amazing girl and an amazing friend. When we bought the house in Ft. Worth, we were 10 minutes away and literally lived on almost the same road. It's sad that she is so far away and I can't be for there for her.

Amanda and I have a funny story on how and where we met. I met Amanda in December of 2004 in Denver, CO. She was at a national conference that I was at for APO (Alpha Phi Omega). My school, Texas Tech, and her school, Texas Lutheran, ended up hooking up and spending a lot of time together. We had a great time over the few days we were in Colorado and I didn't talk to her again until the Fall of 2005 when she came to Texas for graduate school. She had had so much fun with us in Denver that she wanted to come to Tech. We have been great friends ever since!

My next post is going to be a fun one! I'm going to introduce you to who I am and who my family is! This may help to make my blog a little more personal.

Here We Go, Steelers, Here We Go, Pittsburgh Won The Super Bowl!!! Today was a great day! Wanna know why? Three Reasons:

1. It's my 23rd Birthday.

2. I got a positive on my ovulation test!

3. Pittsburgh Won!

What more could I want?!?!

Oh and my two best friends are coming in four days!!!!!

Happy Birthday to me! I am 23 today and will be spending my birthday watching the Super Bowl at a bar that I'm not so fond of. Oh well, my birthday has a tendency to fall on Super Bowl Sunday more often than not. The last time it happened was in 2004 so every 5 years? Not to bad I guess. Mark is on his way out to buy me my card and flowers because he screwed up and forgot. We had a huge fight about it last night and he realized he messed up. He even baked me a pink funfetti cake. Yummy.
