Family Reunion

Jesse's mom put on a family reunion on the 22nd. I got to meet more of Jesse's family at this fun event. Not only was it a reunion, but we just got married along with Jesse's brother. It was a celebration.

The First Few Weeks!

Holy cow! So much has happened since we have gotten married, and it's only been 2 1/2 weeks!

Our honeymoon was amazing: couples massage, comedy club, bowling, dancing, melting pot, chihuly museum, teatro zinzanni, bahama breeze, and a lot more food...

Teatro ZinZanni fun!
Jesse has gone back to both of his jobs. He is a busy busy bee now, working everyday of the week. The first week was definitely the hardest.

My grandparents were in a car accident on the 4th. Five hours later my grandmother (stepdad's mom) passed away at the hospital. My grandfather has broken ribs, fingers, a leg, and an arm. The two people in the other vehicle died at the scene. This was very sudden and shocking to the whole family. It has been difficult. :(

Jesse's brother got married. We attended their wedding on the 7th. His brother and his new wife have a beautiful 3 year old daughter who was the flower girl. It was a very nice wedding.

On the 8th we went to Jesse's dad's house for a family reunion. I met a lot of Jesse's family for the first time.

So that has been the past 2 1/2 weeks. What will we be working on in the next month or so... 


  1. Jesse leaves for China with his grandmother on October 9th for 2 1/2 weeks. He wants to save up this and get himself a working laptop before he leaves. 
  2. I am planning to work on clearing out her storage unit this coming weekend. I also just joined a gym. Crossfit was too expensive for us, so a regular ole gym membership will have to suffice - luckily they offer a few classes. I am excited to try Zumba! I also plan to upgrade my sad broken iPhone 4 to the new iPhone 5S. Today it was released that they will start selling them on the 20th. Hopefully an iPad is in my future too - probably a refurbished one from Apple.
As you can see, we have been doing and going through a lot, and will continue to do so indefinitely ;)
