So much has happened in the last three months!!!
First off, I got married! Woohoo! It was an amazing, perfect, beautiful day. Here's a photo.
After the wedding, we were off on a jetplane to Jamaica for our honeymoon. We stayed at the Couples Swept Away resort in Negril, Jamaica. I HIGHLY recommend it! Our first day there we were swimming in the clear blue water of the ocean and suddenly a violinist who was sitting on the beach starting playing, "A Whole New World" from Aladdin. I was like, "is this place for real?" Turns out there was a wedding ceremony about to take place. We watched the whole thing from the water. :)

We returned to Austin and I came back to a new home and a new life! After about 8 years working in politics, I decided it was time for a change and so I quit my job. I'm now working for an Austin ministry called River City Hope Street (www.hopestreetaustin.org) I am helping with administration, communications and fundraising. My big project now is planning a fall fundraising banquet. It's going to be a lot of fun.
People keep asking me, "how's married life?" Well, it's great! We just celebrated our two month anniversary last week. :) The last two months have been a transitional period. (That's the under statement of the year.) It's been a period of moving, selling a lot of our stuff, buying all new furniture, organizing and decorating, learning how to live together, finding our routine. I'm really starting to just now feel settled.
I really like our little townhouse. It is cute and cozy. We have two pets, a dog named Phoenix and a cat named Ginger. (We had a very sad time last month when my beloved cat Freddy passed away.) We live in a nice, quiet neighborhood. We've been going on a lot of walks, jogs and bike rides.
Now that I'm settled again, I really want to start blogging again! Honestly the first six months of this year were kind of a blur. I'm hoping to have a little more downtime now and start writing more. So, stay tuned!
