Happy One Month Anniversary! :)



Paul and I celebrated our one month anniversary last night! :) We went to eat at Red Lobster.. enjoyed crab legs and shared a dessert. Perfect. :) It's been a great first month of marriage. We were blessed enough to have a long honeymoon in Hawaii (almost 2 weeks). Once we arrived back in New York, we began unpacking (blah!). I'm happy to report our house is almost "officially" a home!!! It's all decorated with the exception of a couple things.. and within a week, we should be able to have people over!! YAY!! I'll post pictures as soon as it's complete! I'm very excited..it's coming together nicely. :)

Last night, we were also able to visit with some friends prior to our dinner. First, we visited Katie and her new baby Aiden who is absolutey precious!! Katie has decked out his entire room in Snoopy and sports!! Very very cute! Here is a picture of Baby Aiden:

After we left, we visited our neighbors, the White family! We're lucky to have such great neighbors. They're actually looking for a church too, so we talked about where we both had been visiting. Please pray that Paul and I will find the church home that God has waiting for us. :) Tonight, we're going to see Cameron and Anthony (our neighbors sons) play baseball! Paul and I are really excited. It's been a long time since we've seen a baseball game.

Also last night, we walked along the river. It was very chilly but SO pretty. Here is a picture I took:


Also, we're planning a trip to NYC this weekend to see Taylor Swift. This was my Christmas present from Paul. (There's only so much you can buy for Christmas when you're deployed.) As you can imagine, I'm SUPER EXCITED!! I love the city AND Taylor Swift! WOO HOO!

This is a picture I took of my awesome Hubby last night. He's SO attractive. I'm very blessed. :) Ya'll have a good week! Pics to come of the city and Taylor Swift! :)

"I Now Pronounce You Mr. and Mrs. Paul Walker"

Paul and I recently got married on April 10, 2010. Life is crazy hectic, but it's comforting knowing God is leading us! :) I finished Graduate School at MSU in December and have been back and forth from NY to MS every since planning our wedding. :) Paul returned from Afghanistan Dec. 26, 2010, and it's been GREAT having him back home! In the last 8 months, we've traveled from South Carolina to Mississippi to Tennessee to Florida to Texas to New York and to Hawaii. It has been CRAZY, but extremely fun and intriguing.

We were married on April 10th, and we honeymooned in Hawaii thereafter. There are so many AWESOME things about Hawaii like the abundance of pineapple and how amazingly heavenly it taste in your mouth.


Other things great about Hawaii are: the amazing sunset that's available for viewing EVERY single night, the great seafood, the ABC stores that sell everything you could possibly imagine, the beautiful sites no matter WHERE you are, the amazing beaches, and the North Shore atmosphere (where its VERY beautiful with lots of locals and not overcrowded with tourists!)


I guess I got excited and jumped to the honeymoon, but the wedding was awesome fun too. God has blessed me with such an amazing family and crazy awesome friends, so it was simply amazing! :)



As you can see, the bridesmaids and I performed a choreographed dance (thanks to Leigh Ann). It was SO MUCH FUN!!! :) Cari documented this well in her blog entry entitled "Just Dance"! She has such a cute, interesting blog.. To view it see: http://bradandcarigaunt.blogspot.com/. To complete the wedding, I was welcomed to the army family with the saber arch...Here we go! :)
So, just as soon as we returned from our honeymoon, it was time to move all of my things and our many gifts to New York. After 2 1/2 LONG LONG days, of driving...we arrived late on May 1, 2010! YAY! Ofcourse, we were completely exhausted. After a little rest, we unloaded the truck and began unpacking. We are still in the process of unpacking, but it's really neat watching our house become a home! :)
