My goodness, we have been a busy, busy family!
Just to recap what's going in our lives, B has been at NSL for almost 3 months now and working, and I've been working and we just finished the fifth week of class (but who's counting right?)
I've missed blogging so much, but now I only have one day off a week and today is the first day I haven't had a paper or project to do or a big exam to study for! Huzzah!
Anyway. Yesterday on our day off, B and I were running around just engaging in the normal debauchery and we came across this awesome little costume at Halloween City:

So of course I have been laughing about that since, because there's a whole family legend about the dance of the Funky Chicken.
Then we went to the bookstore, and I took a step into Heaven. So. Many. Books. About. Marriage. I've had my eye on one called How to Improve Your Marriage Without Talking About It because the title just seemed so.. dumb. So I have plans to read that little sucker and tell you all if my prediction about it is true (Seriously, fixing a relationship without communication? I don't bite yet) or if I'm totally wrong (I mean actions do speak louder than words)
But for now, I'm reading this little gem called The Antelope in the Living Room. I'm only a few pages in, but I'm already in love. I know, I'm the nerd who goes to the bookstore and walks past all the exciting new books to see the Relationship self-help books. I fully intend on having a whole bookshelf full of those things one day. At least I'm not a history buff like my darling hubby :P what a SUPER NERD!

Then, last night for the first time since we got married, we had dinner with another couple! I love love love our traditional Friday shopping around all day then dinner date then movie time, but it was so much fun to get out and have a double date and catch up on some gossip! (Plus, we made some killer chicken, macaroni, and asparagus!)
Also, it was super cool because now Blake and I are like the super wise married couple who everyone goes to for advice. Hello, Marshall and Lily status!

(But really though, a few of our friends have actually referred to us as Marshall and Lily. And I LOVE it.)
So I guess the moral of the story is that even with busy lives, it's important to make sure to carve out time for each other to just hang out, and time to be goofy and hang out with friends too. I know counting down the days to Friday gets me through the week, and I'm so glad I have somebody so wonderful to be with on my day off!
(PS: If you haven't seen and Liked and adored our wedding pictures yet, they're on facebook! Feel welcome to get emotional over my beauty and the handsomeness of my groom!)
