We made it through the first year!

I never posted any pictures of Our wedding so I thought I would post some pictures. Also we just recently celebrated our one year anniversary.. Wow how time flies. We look forward to many more anniversaries to come.


We are Home Owners

Bobby and I just bought our first home!!! We have been looking for about a year now. My dad is a Real Estate agent so he has been a great help during this whole process. I feel like we had tons of people helping us look. My sisters-in law would call to tell us about a house they found they thought we would like, along with my step-mother. My sisters-in -law live in a very cute neighborhood in Boaz City limits. Bobby and I really wanted to buy a house in the city limits because of how strick the School system is. On a Wednesday afternoon Tammy, my sister-in-law, called me to tell me that there was a brick home in their neighborhood that just came up for sale. I called my dad to tell him about it. He looked into it and came up to Boaz that night to show it to us. We loved it!! We knew there needed to be a few improvements but wanted it badly. God knew what he had in store for us and now when we look back we know why we were so patience! The Good Lord took care of us. That Friday morning we were signing a contract for the house.  We close on the house next week and will not be able to move in until October. We havea lot of project we want to do first.  I will post before and after pictures soon!

The First few months of marriage...

Ok... Bobby and I have been married for six months and they have been six wonderful months. They have also been very challenging. We dated for seven years before we got married so we both knew we were ready to get married, but living together is a big adjustment. Bobby plays a video game called Call of Duty which most guys play, but I think Bobby plays way to much. This is something I am having to get use to. I of course can not make him stop playing because that would not be fair.  He plays in our living room so this means when he plays I either have to watch him or go in our bedroom to watch TV. We are still working on this issue :) I am also a tad bit OCD. I tend to go right behind Bobby and pick up his mess before he even has a chance to. During these first few months of marriage I am learning that I am going to have to let the little things go. Like getting ill when Bobby does not pull the shower curtain closed,  or when he doesn't put his clothes in the hamper but instead throws them infront of it.. I can easy do go behind him and fix these things! I can tell he tries to do things like I would  and that is huge for him because he lived at home before we got married  and his mother did it all for him.  Like I said these first few months of marriage have been GREAT but it is all just a big adjustment. Bobby and I our loving every min of married life. Maybe he will start to pick up some of my OCD habits...... :)
