Day 16!!

So I won't even try to apologize for the 3.5 months because everyone has heard it before and it doesn't seem to mean anything when I do =) However, I am going to try and be better because I really want to keep track of such an exciting time in my life!!

So, the past month has been a complete whirlwind. The wedding was amazing and Zach and I realized how incredibly blessed we are to have the family and friends we do. We have spent the last two weeks trying to rest and recover from everything. Here are some of my newest "wife" adventures...

Honeymoon in Chicago!!!


Homemade chili to celebrate fall!!


My attempt at decorating for the season (idea stolen from Emily, THE decorator!)

Homemade "Berry Banana Bread"
(found here: http://fortheloveofcooking-recipes.blogspot.com/2009/11/berry-banana-bread.html)

((Side note: This recipe is definitely a work in progress, as this was the first time I have ever baked bread. There are certainly some changes I will make next time, and some things I learned to do differently!!))

As far as everything else...

• I started training for my next half marathon, the Birmingham Mercedes Half Marathon on February 13th
• After that, I will be running in the Nashville Country Music Half Marathon
• Teaching is still ridiculous and I don't know that I'll ever get used to it
• I am in the midst of trying to decide what I want to do after teaching... Grad school? Law school? Nursing school? Who knows. I'm willing to take suggestions...
• All in all though, I am LOVING life with Zach right now and this incredible time in our lives!

Keep you posted!!!
