Boyce Carlsruh Reunion

Last month we had our Boyce/Carlsruh reunion! It definitely ranks in my TOP THREE events of Summer 2011.

Jon finally got to meet alllllll of my siblings (Boyces and Carlsruhs alike) and he thoroughly enjoyed himself!

So I Married A Genius...

We took a lovely trip to Indiana a few weeks ago to visit with Jon's family. We drove home on a Sunday, so decided to listen to a CD we received for our wedding (For All Eternity - from Brian and Terah!)

We had time for two of the five CD's and were enjoying what we were learning, though we were a little distressed that the CD was so choppy- stories and concepts were cut off semi-abruptly. We quickly realized that it was surely just a randomly assorted collection of talks and that was why the stories were cutting off at seemingly awkward times.

This fabulous collection of talks taught us a lot about criticizing peo... and listening to each ot... and many more helpful tips for our marr...

About 20 miles from home, my darling, talented, spirited, clever, and inspired Jonathan, turned the CD player off of random.

Not all women can be so lucky. I just wonder if the CD's are as profound when in order.

UPDATE

Jon just started a second job. He is working basically from 7 am until 9:30 pm every blooming day. He is a hard worker and I'm so grateful :)

Our receptions went so well! It was great to see so many people we love. I'm mostly glad to never have to wear a wedding dress again though...

I'm in classes this summer, which keeps me super busy (though not as busy as I should be!) Luckily I am able to find the time to lay out and keep a decent tan as well.

Life is good, we are trucking along and still attempting to merge two people's belongings into one little apartment.

Last week I made Peanut Butter cookies to celebrate our 2-month anniversary :) Jon ate at least 30 of them, so a good anniversary gift it was!

That's all for now - more to come when there is more to say...

28 Days and Counting...

It's hard to believe that we've been married for four weeks already!

Life is an adjustment, and marriage is no exception, though no one tells you that part. I won't spill any beans - marriage is wonderful :)

We have a unique and wonderful opportunity this weekend to be with so many of my favorite people (who will soon be Jonathan's favorites as well, I'm sure). This will be a weekend to remember!

If only I could remember to care that I have still have two finals to finish by Tuesday...

Happy Trails!
