Our First Home As A Married Couple

I love living with Trevor most of the time. HA! HA! I am little bit of a neat freak as in I always want the bed made and the house picked up. I am a little more lax on the deep cleaning and scrubbing.

We bought the house as a foreclosure and it was crap, literally. We ripped out the carpet, all the cabinets and everything. We put in hardwood in the living area and hallway and then put carpet in the bedrooms. We painted every room in the house even the ceilings. It took forever. At least we did all of this before we got married but that made wedding planning a little more stressful. We are very pleased with the way things turned out. This is just a few pictures of the kitchen before and after! But the whole house was pretty much like this.









I was pretty proud of myself on my gardening. This was my first year to plant flowers. A few weeks after the wedding Trevor's mom came over and helped me plant all of them. Trevor put out stone around the edges to make it look even better. All of the flowers looked really good until it got cold. But I guess that is how it works.









The next project that we are about to start is the back deck. We are extending it and making it a lot nicer. This is supposed to start this weekend but it all depends on the weather.

Our Amazing Honeymoon

Sandals

Montego Bay, Jamaica

We had such a wonderful time on our honeymoon. I keep begging Trevor to go back. It was perfect because it was all-inclusive so we barely spent any money after we actually got there. We had a concierge room, so they booked all of our dinners for us ahead of time. When we got to the airport in Jamaica they picked us up in a Mercedes and took us strait to the hotel where we were handed a glass of champagne as soon as we walked in. They had shows every night that were actually good and not cheesy. We played beach volleyball like everyday with a bunch of people. The food was really good, surprisingly every night. There wasn't one bad meal. We went on a catamaran on a booze cruz where we snorkels, drank, and went to Margaretaville. They had the coolest slides there that Trevor went down numerous times. It was nice to come home to my new home to start our new journey as a married couple. Our parents already had all of our gifts at the house from the wedding, so it was like a shower just for us at mid-night the night we got home. We got so many wonderful things. I could not have asked for anything else. We are so thankful for all of our friends and family.

My only regret is I wish we had taken more pictures. Here are just a few that we did take....

A lot has gone on this past year. I will try to make a few post of things that have went on. For starters....

The day I married the love of my life and best friend

Our Wedding Day April 18th, 2009

It was perfect. Everything turned out wonderful. All of our friends and family were with us to make it even better. The food was wonderful from what we were told because we didn't eat, the flowers were beautiful, and everyone had a good time.
