Reporting in

I better throw in my two cents.
Married life is great. Kristina does everything I tell her to and I don't have to do anything. No, seriously, things are going great. We enjoy hearing home-buying updates from B&D but are thankful we had a home to start out in and didn't have to try and do that right now with everything else we have going on.
Kristina is busy with classes and I'm busy studying for the PE exam. We both keep busy with our small groups and... we stay busy with each other!
Kristina feeds me well and I clean up afterwards.
Both looking forward to a long weekend and getting to see family.

honeymoon pics












For those of you who haven't had the opportunity to see pictures of our honeymoon, I thought I would post a few here. We are super glad we didn't honeymoon last week since Hurricane Dean went right through the area we were in!! We don't have the video of me falling off the horse loaded onto the computer yet, but once that is done, I'm sure Mike will want to post that as well.

jumping on the bandwagon :)

Well, we've given in and decided to start a blog. I won't make any promises about the frequency of updates or how entertaining they will be, but we wanted to keep friends and family up to date with our lives. Actually, we're pretty boring, so don't expect too much. :)

I start my first full week of class this week. I was fortunate enough to arrange my schedule so I only have to drive 2 days a week. Granted, my schedule it pretty lousy. I won't be getting home until really late on Tuesday along with no time for dinner during a 5 hour block of classes. But I figure I make up the time by not having to drive 4 days a week. I've only got 3 classes this semester: a financial reporting accounting class, small business consulting, and employee benefit plans. I'm really looking forward to the last two. I think they are going to be pretty useful. The career fair is coming up at school in a couple of weeks, although I'm not sure how much help it will be. Most of the companies that are coming are from the Chicago area. But we'll see. Ideally, I would like to have a job lined up for after I take the CPA by the time Thanksgiving break rolls around.

My internship went really well this summer. The women I worked for both said to let them know if I needed a reference. I had a couple of weeks off in between the internship and school starting. I decided to attempt to read all 7 of the Harry Potter books before school started. I got through all 7 in two weeks. I was definitely starting to go cross-eyed by the end. But now they aren't competing with the reading assignments I have for school. I was also able to get some scrapbooking done.

Speaking of scrapbooking, I don't have too many pictures of the wedding. The ones the photographer took are just too expensive to cut up and glue to paper. :) So, if you took pictures, please email them to me. My inbox is huge, so don't worry about filling it up with a bunch of pictures.

I think that is all from me.
