8 days.

We've been married for about 8 days and SO much has happened!

1. Casey and I got married about 1 week ago. We both loved our wedding. It was short, simple, fun, and lots of friends and family were there with us to celebrate. Andy Sharpe, pastor at Windsor Crossing, married us. He did an excellent job and added such a touch to the night. The church looked so a beautiful. I loved the candles and all of the reception area decorations. Everything was just as we wanted it. We both said that we wouldn't have changed anything.



2. Our honeymoon was perfect for us. We went to Gatlinburg, TN in the heart of the Smokey Mountains. We loved our little cabin. It was really nice. The weather was great...not to hot, not to cold, and no rain. We had 3 major activities: Gatlinburg, Dollywood, and Cade's Cove. We got lots of sleep-which was good since both of us were worn out from all of the wedding festivities. Though we didn't see any bears, we loved being in the Smokey Mountains. They were so beautiful. (Pictures to come as soon as a dig out my camera cords.)

3. We headed back to St. Louis post-honeymoon. We were able to spend a couple days hanging out with family and opening our zillion wedding gifts. (We are so blessed.) We did some laundry and get ready to head to Kansas City. There were tears though. I was sad to leave my family and home in St. Louis. I will miss my parents and siblings and friends a lot but I know that I am ready to leave and start my life with Casey.

4. And now we are pretty much up to date. Casey and I have been in Kansas City for a few days working on getting our apartment all situated. The second room of our apartment is full of boxes that need to get unpacked. But we are progessing. The kitchen is the first priority and it is almost done. Yay! It's coming together and I love having a home with Casey. We had our first trip to the grocery store today. That was fun and interesting. :) (Quote of the day from me while grocery shopping in bread aisle: "I hate white bread as much as you hate Barack Obama." )

5. Tomorrow we are going to try West Side Family Church. We are both excited to start a new church and make new relationships.

Both of us are glad to be married and start our lives together. It feels like it has been a long time comin'.

Cute website name! Does this mean the other one is through? I like the update. How is KC? How was church? I should have e-mailed...

I think I am going to keep my other blog BUT I'm not quite sure yet.

KC is good. I have just attempted my own trips around the city. The roads are easy to understand and you can find stores everywhere. I was a little uneasy at first.

Church was really good. We both really liked it. We are excited.
