What we did this summer

I feel like I need to say we instead of I more than usual lately because I've come to find out that WE do quite a bit together!  Even though my summer was pretty uneventful after our I do's I will say we did some fun things together and with friends and family so I thought I'd share through pictures.

 One of our good couple's friends brought us out for a nice dinner as our wedding gift!  It was so much fun!

 Celebrated Ellis' 1st birthday (stole pic from Em's blog)

 Threw a surprise birthday for Matt!

 Matt's 30th birthday we celebrated with his family and then some of our friends.

Hung our wedding pictures!  Took a lot of time but I love having them up!

And Finally introduced my new name to my kiddos!  Some still call me Ms. Zachry and that's ok!

Bye Summer, so ready for cooler weather and a more steady routine.  Looking forward to all the things were doing this year!

Goodbye summer/Our home

My mom asked me the other day why I haven't blogged lately and I told her it was because I haven't done anything to blog about!  I mean I could tell you about my hours of tv watching, book reading, cleaning, etc but that's about it!

I can't believe I have to go back to work on Monday and I can honestly say I'm a little nervous about my schedule this year and battles I'll have to overcome traveling to a new school.  But I am excited to see some of my kiddos this year and getting to share my new name with the kids!  That should be interesting.

I took some pictures of our little apt to share.  When we got back from our honeymoon I was already looking for things to help improve it and make it feel more cozy.

 Our enormous bed, takes up the room but so worth it!

 We obviously still need a headboard but one thing at a time!

 The enormous tv that I love having in there!

 A little Sally Taylor Art and our new chair!

 Wedding pics are up!  Took us 3 hours but so worth it!

I love this chair...its like an old mans jacket all it needs are the brown elbow patches!

I have enjoyed sharing my space with such a clean roommate!  I'm so thankful for that!  He's been really great about helping keeping it clean and picked up.  Since we do have limited space it's easy to mess up quickly!

San Francisco

I honestly think we picked the best place for a honeymoon.  When deciding where we wanted to go we both ruled out a beach.  It would be nice for a couple of days but we are both so ADD that we knew we needed to get out and do things.  We had so much fun in San Fran, and I cried the day we left. 

San Fran We miss you!  Can't wait to go back :)

One month

So yesterday marked our first month of marraige!  So hard to believe that this time last month we were on our way to beautiful San Francisco for an amazing honeymoon.  I remember when Matt and I got to the airport we got there way early just so we could relax and have lunch together.  While we were there I realized how I had left my phone charger in our room (of course it was something!) so Matt called the hotel and he said "my wife" and then looked at me and we both kind of giggled.  It was the first time he had said it and it made my heart soar!  It's so amazing to me that God had someone so wonderful for me.  I wake up each morning and thank him for the people he has put in my life.  I can't imagine meeting a more wonderful husband and I love calling him just that!

 I love you Matt!

Married Bliss

Well we did it, we got hitched!  The wedding day was such a blur after Matt and I walked out of the church.  I was sad I didn't get to see my reception more before I was whisked around the room.  But I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures!

Our honeymoon in San Fran was amazing, I am so glad we went there.  We did as much as we possibly could and still could have had another week to do all the things we didn't get to!  Here are just a few photo ops we took on my phone from the different places we visited.

 Matt's first in and out experience!  Needless to say he loved it!

 No worries mom I didn't eat it all!

 This was taken at our favorite little Bakery Called Boudin.  We had breakfast here twice during our week.

 On the ferry headed to Napa!

 Matt at the vineyard where we had a beautiful picnic lunch!  The weather was perfect!

 Waiting on the F line after Napa, when we got back to San Fran it was COLD!!!

Last day we did an open bus tour to Saulsalito that went over the Golden Gate Bridge!

We look like such tourists in this picture, but it was so cold on the bus tour and then in Saulsalito so we bought the sweatshirts as souviners as well!

All in all we had an amazing week of eating and walking and sightseeing and just getting to know each other that much better.  I really have married my best friend and we had an amazing time together.  Now were home and settling in to our small yet charming new apartment :)

Birthday Flop

So yesterday I turned 28, and at the begining of the month I had planned to have dinners go eat with us at Eno's in the bishop arts district.  I didn't do anything exciting yesterday, Matt and I organized some things and cleaned and just ran errands.  All in all it was a good day, until this happened.....

Warning Scary Pic Below!

We sat down last night ordered a salad and pizza to share and my first bite in to my salad CRUNCH I bit in to the fork wrong and my fake porcelain tooth crumbled in to itty bitty pieces.  And all that's left underneath were remnents of my old tooth.....So needless to say there were some tears and a phone call to my parents to track down a dentist since mine doesn't have an emergency phone line OF COURSE!!!

So end of story I have a temporary tooth on that is way more yellow than the rest of my teeth and I have been fitted for a new porcelain tooth.  Only bad news is the dentist said it usually takes 3 weeks to get the tooth in so he said he would put a rush on it so I'm selfishly praying that it gets here before our wedding day so I don't have this yellow one in all our wedding pics!!

We did get one good photo in before all this happened which was nice :)

So happy birthday to me!  I did cry at my party but by the end of the night we were all just laughing about the big hole in my mouth......reminded me of the hangover movie, I did look pretty close a hill billy!

Here's to never a dull moment!

Blogging

I have fallen way behind on my blogging and I know all two of my readers are extremly sad about that!  I blame it on life :)

I am so excited that it's May which means I only have 4 weeks of school left and this makes me so happy you don't even know.  With the month of May comes many a choir performances, field trips and other special activities around school.  I know just like the past 8 months this month will also fly by.  I'm kind of starting to panic as well since there are now 5 weeks until we get married and I feel like, have we gotten everything done?  Did I do everything I was supposed to?  I feel like between my mother and I we have done a lot of great things and done what we needed to do.  I'm hoping the week of my wedding I will get to enjoy the last few moments of being engaged :)

Last month we took our engagement pictures by the wonderfully talented Elicia Graves.  She is my sister's best friend and she and i share the love of Harry Potter.  She was so sweet to take them for us and I love all of the pictures!  We took them down at the Windspear opera house which if you have never been down there not only is the outside amazing but the theatre is so cool!

I had my first dress fitting this week and it went well.  I'm excited to see it all finished and ready for me to walk down the aisle in. 

Today ended week 2 of my bootcamp I've been doing at church.....can I say ow?  I ran more today then I have in the last 2 years and it was NOT fun.  But I know it's a good work out and even though 5 AM comes WAY too early I'm hoping I'll have the results I want by the end of the 4 weeks.  Only time will tell :)

Yay FRIDAY!  And Happy almost Mother's day to my wonderful mom.
