It's Time to Get Going!!!

OK. It's time to get more serious about blogging. We were so gung-ho about it and then we let it die. We also lost our camera in all the confusion of the wedding, but we've got our hands on another. Since we last posted we've started and finished a semester of school. Superhero and I both got into the school programs we wanted and have moved to a fantastic neighborhood. We love our ward and have recently been called as Cub Scout Bear Den Leaders. We are loving it! It's so fun to work with the boys although sometimes they can be a handful.

Now that we have a camera and some free time we're going to try to keep you updated on our life a little better. First if all, I do have to take pride in myself for just a bit because I have only bought one loaf of bread in the 4 months that we've been married. I've made it from scratch the rest of the time. I also remind my Superhero that he is a spoiled boy because of it. Here are some pictures my fantastic hubby caught of me trying to get the perfect loaf.

Yesterday we had a lot of fun doing a project around the house. We have a large blank wall that we had no idea what to do with as far as decorations go. We needed a cheap way to add color to the room and brighten it up. We made some wood frames and then covered them with upholstery fabric. Of course we ran into some obstacles (they always seem to occur when doing projects), but in the end we loved how it turned out. It's still a slow process to decorate the rest of the room, but we'll keep you posted on the progress.

Yesterday we also cooked a fun Asian meal. I was in no mood to cook anything but my Superhero stepped up and decided to make sweet and sour chicken. However, when he starts cooking a meal, he goes all-out. He ended up breading the chicken and frying it. As well as make the sauce from scratch! I was so proud of him. We also had Asian rice and stir-fry vegetables.  It was delicious!!! We always have so much fun cooking in the kitchen together. Here's a picture of our tasty meal.

Last of all, yesterday we also watched Part 1 of the 7th Harry Potter movie. It is definitely a little creepy, but intense. We can't wait for Part 2 to come out. We'll have to save up some money so we can go to the real theater and see it so we don't have to wait for it to come to the dollar theater 4 months later :)

Here We Go Again!

Well, we successfully made it back home safely and are getting back in the swing of things with the new school year. We didn't get to take pictures while visiting family because of bad weather, but more importantly, we absolutely loved visiting our family members and I really enjoyed getting to know many of my soon-to-be family. They are great!! Perhaps most of our excitement is for the upcoming big day. Today we have spent most of the day trying to get our lives in order and moving into our new apartment. The Superhero is going to live alone for a while, but I know he can't wait until his Princess joins him. We wish everyone a happy new year and can't wait to see everyone soon!

Finally...Christmas Break!

  Finally has more than one meaning in this title.  Our last week of the semester included finishing up our classes - finals week.  Everyone says the semester you get engaged is your worst semester grades wise.  Unfortunately, I'd have to agree.  We also finished taking care of some things for the wedding (a cake and flowers).  Now the Princess left to a foreign country with her family while I went home.  She'll be joining me in about 1 week.  So I am missing her terribly!

  On the plane ride home I started feeling a little sick.  By the time I came home, fell asleep, and woke up the next morning I felt like I had the flu!  We went in to the doctor and all she said was that I had something viral that could really be treated.  So I'm trying to get better sleeping in and watching hallmark movies and planet earth on blue ray.  Bottom line, I can't wait for my sweetheart to get back!  The plan is to take some more pictures over break, so stay tuned!

New Beginnings

Today is a monumental day in the life of a superhero and a princess. We created a blog! We decided it would be a great way to stay in contact with our family and friends. The beginning of a new life together includes lots of playing, planning, and partying! Our adventures together in a way have begun, but the complete life's journey is still to come. It starts on January 15th and we can't wait!!

Our first experience smiling for what seemed to be countless hours came with taking engagement pictures. We learned that we weren't models and still need a lot of practice posing for the camera.

 Contrary to what you see, it's pretty hard to get behind those trees.

But it looks great!

One of our favorites - We look like we love each other or something!

 This was a cool bridge, so we took a picture by it.

The snow is whiter on the other side!

"I finally found her!"

We have a lot of growing ahead of us and we're looking forward to it.  But we don't want to leave you out. So here's a blog so you can join us as we are tayloring life together!
