My maid of honor and best friend Kate!

I just had to post a few of my favorites from the big day! It went almost perfectly and we couldn't have asked for a nicer day...so God was good!

Crossroads?

Once again, I am getting very restless in my job and am really hankering for a change soon. There are advantages and disadvantages to where I'm at right now, the number one advantage being that I have been here for 4 years and 4 months now (yes, the longest I've held down any full-time job) and it's comfortable, even though I don't care much for my job at all. The number one disadvantage is that the benefits basically suck and I pay through the nose for them. Another advantage is that I make a fairly decent income with my current employer and it provides stability, which is never a bad thing. When I started this job in 2004, I promised myself I would not make a move (voluntarily, that is) just to get out of there if I was unhappy, but rather it would be a move more on the permanent side and hopefully something I found a great deal of interest and enjoyment in. That's where my main struggle is right now, I don't know where to go or what I really want to do. That's not true, I'd prefer to be at home, barefoot and pregnant, only that's not an option since we are a two-income household. I guess I'll just have to keep mulling things over...I figure there's just GOT to be something out there that has a better benefit package. We're hoping to be pregnant within a year and right now I don't even have paid maternity leave here, so that would be a good place to start. Ok, I'm done venting now. I guess I better get back to my crummy job.

Mr. and Mrs. T!

That's right...I'm Mrs. T now! Just had a few honeymoon pictures from our trip to St. Louis and thought I would share a few of my favorites! We fell in love with the city and could easily live there someday...we even picked out our neighborhood!

The following pictures are from Busch Stadium (home of the St. Louis Cardinals). We didn't get to see a game because the Cards were out of town all week but we did catch two Royals games in Kansas City. We opted to take a tour of the stadium instead, which was very cool!


This is so awesome...outdoor baseball is fantastic in the first place but can you imagine having this as a backdrop at home plate?
The following pictures were taken at the Missouri Botanical Gardens, one of our favorite day trips and we still didn't have enough time to see everything!


Those are just a few favorites from the highlights of our trip. I hope to have some wedding pictures to share soon!

I'm Hitched!

I'm back to work today, freshly married and honeymooned (pictures to follow). My secret pleasure of the day has been looking at all of my paper memos and e-mails with my new married name...it looks so good! Somehow, it makes it all even that much more official! I am so ridiculously happy and I love to hear my new husband say "You look good married". I was just bursting at the seams on our wedding day...which ended up being beautiful and sunny (albeit slightly windy) and not rainy and/or snowy as had been predicted! I just beamed the entire day, it was all so wonderful. The honeymoon was fantastic and we think we may have discovered the next place we want to live when the cold and snow finally drives us out of MN!

I'm so happy that even being back to work today can't damper my spirits much anyway. I'd certainly rather still be on my honeymoon with my husband, but it's doable today. I'm quite anxious to get our pictures back now of course! Just wanted to check in as a married woman and will be back with pictures when I have them!
