Well I write this at 2 o'clock in the morning with a kitten on my lap because my darling husband is currently at drill for the entire weekend. Anyways I thought I would do a little mini update on some of the big news that's in the making.
First of all (make sure you're sitting down before reading this)...we're gonna be PARENTS! Haha. Kidding! Kinda. We adopted little kittens! They're not really *little* anymore, but they still seem little to me, not to mention I refuse to accept that they will ever grow up. Cute little fun fact...their estimated birthday from the humane society is mine and Eric's anniversary (of dating that is). Anyways their names are Lily and Gizmo and they've basically taken over our home lives.
Eric's still working at Avery Dennison doing security, and I'm at AT&T in downtown Cleveland. We finally work similar shifts so we actually get to see each other for more than an hour each day.
Now for our real update. Eric and I have been talking a lot about where we're going to go from here. I know I'm going back to school, but he's decided that he wants to go active military. His first choice was Air Force, second was Navy. The Air Force rejected one of his tattoos, so it's looking like the Navy for us! We're hoping that he'll get his 368 form (conditional release) signed this weekend so that we can really get the ball rolling on this whole thing. In that case he will be swearing in with the Navy within 10 days, and then we'll just be waiting to find out when he goes to tech school. He won't have to redo boot camp, just around 8 weeks of specialized schooling for his MOS.
I know he's excited and while I'm nervous for taking this big of a step, I'm starting to get excited too (not to mention how I just about burst with pride every time he talks about going). We can get away and experience things together, while I finish school and he makes his final determinations as to what he wants to do for the rest of his life. I guess only time will tell! This is a huge step and we've made a lot of big decisions lately in a short time, but we're absolutely ready for it.
Now. I'm going to bed...but I'll be sure to keep everyone updated as often as I can. Night!

We did it!!!
Ok I know this post is delayed by like 3 weeks, but give me a break I'm a newlywed! As you probably already know, Eric and I officially tied the knot on May 1st, 2010. We had the ceremony and reception at the Outdoor Family Center in Perry, with the ceremony being outside in the outdoor chapel, and the reception inside the lodge.
The day was absolutely insane...and I only know a small part of what went on. Despite the constant threat of rain (including the downpour on the way to the chapel), the absolute disaster of an updo I had done, and a very hungry pregnant bridesmaid...we managed to pull it all together and had the PERFECT day. The rain stopped right as the ceremony started, my girlfriends saved the day and somehow kept me from passing out, and my in laws made the entire place look absolutely gorgeous. I can honestly say there is nothing else I could have asked for...everything came together better than I could have possibly imagined.
It was amazing that so many people were able to come and spend our day with us. There are so many people that I have to thank for their help, their time, and their patience. There isn't enough room for all the people that deserve recognition in this one blog. My mom came in from Philadelphia, many family members came in from the Cleveland area, Melanie came all the way from North Carolina...it really surprised us how many people were able to make it.
There are over a thousand pictures between the professional photographer, my camera that was floating around, and all our friends and family who were snapping away. We also have the first dance, parts of the ceremony, etc. all on tape and will share them once I find the time to upload them.
I can't even begin to explain how happy we are that we decided to take this step now, and how appreciative we are of all the support we recieved. We are officially two lives, two hearts, two families, combined into one.
We'll keep you updated! (Well...I will).
