Wow....so its been awhile since I posted anything. Let me try to give ya'll the update on A & J and our families.

About two weeks ago my sister Marla went to the doctor. Mar has had a really bad year with health problems, mono and migraine headaches being two of them. She has been in and out of the doctor's office and they took her for some tests and realized that she needed to have her gall bladder removed immediately! Her surgery went well and she is feeling much better, thank GOD. Kinda scary.

Hmm..what else?

My precious hubby resigned from his management position at the airport where he has worked the past two years. After much consideration, we decided that he needed a change. In just two weeks, God has provided him with another job where he will be working at a fitness center doing personal training and sales. He is doing this, AND working towards his masters, AND finding the time to referee indoor soccer. Amazing.

I am still working at Biaggi's Italiano, a fine dining eatery here in the Fort. If you haven't been there and you live semi-close, ya gotta go. Best restaurant in Fort Wayne, I think, with its eclectic food and Italian ambiance. I spend most of my time there, and while it isn't something I plan on doing for much longer, I am learning to find positives in each day. Though there are days of long hours and countless frustrations, I remind myself that it is only a season and I have a ministry to each and every person that sits at my table. Oh the stories I could tell...but I'll save that for a rainy day. I am also entertaining the idea of grad school next semester. I think it would be fun to get my masters in theatre, but it's not too practical. I may just go with communications or business, but that sounds stuffy to me.

The long of the short of it is that we are happy as little larks. That's what my mom always says. She asks how I'm doing and when I say "Really great, Mom," she comments that we look happy as little larks. That just about sums it up. We are thankful for our lives together, and although circumstances aren't always perfect, we are finding joy. Who needs perfection anyways? Struggle brings beauty.

Here are just a few shots from our honeymoon! The week after our wedding we flew to Mexico and stayed at an all-inclusive resort in Riviera Maya, which is south of Cancun. It was the most amazing vacation I have ever been on. We knew it would be nice, but this place was shocking. There were like zillions of pools and literally 7 restaurants. Yumm....I loved the food. I told Aaron I wanted hot weather and good food and I got it. We were literally in paradise. Most of our days were spent relaxing by the pool. A few days were spent shopping and just taking in the culture. It was fun fun fun!

We are new to this. But I'm excited. I told Aaron that I thought it would be fun if I set up a blog and he smiled and said, "Are you gonna update it?" Of course I said that I would. It's kinda like when you ask your parents for a puppy and they say "Will you take care of it?" You jump up and down saying that you will. I hope I am better at blogging than I was at feeding the puppy.

Ok so.....ummm......I have no idea what I am doing. But I'm home and bleaching the kithchen floor is the last thing I want to do, so...I decided to take a stab at this blog stuff. My lovely friends are all blog stalkers, and it sounds like fun. So far so good. Umm...ok I'm done...what do I do now?
