Floating Along...

Life just keeps floating along. Kyle and I are still enjoying our new life together. Day to day life is not without the occasional complication, but we haven't come across anything that couldn't be worked through in no time. I think that even without living together before marriage, we had already learned the majority of each others quirks through dating for four years.

Since my last post, Kyle and I have gone on several dates worth noting. Last Monday we went out for dinner and gelato in the Hyde Park area in celebrations of a friend's birthday. The small Italian restaurant served amazing food (even if we did choose the least expensive items on the menu.) I'm sorry but $7 for a side salad is a little ridiculous. Afterwards, the party moved to a small coffee shop where Kyle tasted his first gelato. It was love.

This week we also attempted our first couples game night...and I am proud to report that it was a success!  We all shared some salad, garlic bread and pasta. As a result, Kyle and I will be taking pasta to work for lunch for quite some time. After dinner we all played a game of Clue, which was actually a lot more fun than I remembered (probably because the last time was just with Kyle in my dorm room.) Clue isn't very much fun with only two people. 

Friday night we saw Ghostown. Surprisingly, we loved it and I highly recommend it for a date night. I had had a rough day on Friday and did not think that I could laugh that hard.

I am really going to make an effort to keep up with this, but the posts may be few and far between at times.

Thankful on Sunday

I may disappear for a week or two at a time, but I really do want to keep this blog as long as possible. The past week and a half have been pretty busy...but full of fun things. We went to the first UT home game and had the opportunity to see the new stadium. We had a relaxing Labor Day weekend and celebrated our first month of being married by going out for a late dinner at Macaroni Grill. We've had many meals and movie nights at home. First Thursday on South Congress...always fun. Several fun dinner dates including a double date on Friday. I've had the opportunity to see several of my closest friends, which is always nice.

I've been trying to change the word lucky in my vocabulary to blessed. I've never really called anything a blessing before, but I've come to realize that my life is full of them. I am thankful for my loving husband and our dog (who provides endless entertainment). I am thankful for the opportunity to go to church and spend Sundays at home with my Kyle. I also feel blessed to finally have a set of close friends that I know we'll be staying in my life and will always be there for me (and vice versa.) It's a good feeling to be blessed.
