I have Saturday and Sunday off! I will be so glad to not have to be at work.
I think that I will move on to organizing the bathroom this weekend. It will be nice to have two rooms organized. I will have the bedrooms, the living area, dining area, and closets left.
We get Veteran's Day off, so I will take advantage of the day off by getting something accomplished.
I am going to see my grandparents in a week. We are going to drive up on Friday and just visit. It is so much easier on all of us to do that than try staying over night.
We are meeting with our photographer to talk about the finalization of our wedding album this evening. We will hopefully also get our wedding images on DVD.
We are going to Virginia for Thanksgiving. We just decided to go this a few weeks ago. I was not allowed Tuesday or Saturday off, so we are going to drive to VA on Wedneday after Jon's class. We will spend Thanksgiving (Thursday), then drive back on Friday. Thanks a lot, job!
When Jon gets his Ph.D. and we move, I will be so glad. Then I can focus more on what is important; family and home life. I think I was meant to be a full-time homemaker.
We shall see...

Wedding Day Humor
Here are some humorous things that happened on our wedding day:
1.) The groom could not find his tuxedo pants or what I call his "marriage pants"!
How could this happen? You ask... Well, I asked the same thing.
As I was getting into the limo, I see Jon and his father drive up to my apartment. I was furious! Why were they here? Don't they know that you don't see the bride before the wedding!!!
When I got to the church, I learned that he could not find his pants! Jon had to buy tuxedo pants one hour before the wedding!
I kept all of his things at my apartment in a closet, so we would not have this problem. When we got back from our honeymoon, I looked in the closet. They were there on the floor. The "Case of the Missing Marriage Pants" was solved! Now he has two pairs of tuxedo pants! Sounds like someone's going to be taking me to the opera real soon! ;-)
2.) As Jon and I kneel for the Eucharistic Prayer, the congregation gets a good laugh. Jon did not take the price stickers from the bottom of his shoes!
3.) The Unity Candle... Ah! That unity candle! Jon and I lit our candle. As we blew out the tapers, our candle went out. So we tried again, and got it to light. Then Jon blows out his taper again and manages to blow the candle wax all over his tuxedo jacket!
Those are a few of the things that added some humor to our wedding day!
These are some of our favorites to share.

Post-Wedding Reflections
Jon and I were married on May 30, 2009 at 1:00 PM. It was s beautiful day.
The sky was blue. I didn't really notice how beautiful the weather really had been, until I noticed in a photograph taken by my cousin. I had so much on my mind that day. I did not notice many of the minor details.
The planning was stressful, in the end it was worth it. I do not want to go through any of that again! It is a shame that so much money goes into one day. We spend years anticipating and months preparing. Then the day finally arrives, and with a flash it is all gone!
I wish I could have had more time to visit with my guests. I wish I would have had more time for many things. But when it was all over, Jon and I were just exhausted.
We got into his Mercedes for the last time, parked it at the hotel. Then got into our truck, and drove off into the horizon. Bound for New Orleans....
