So it's been quite awhile since I've posted, but I've obviously been a little busy. The wedding came and went and I can't believe it's been almost a month since I said "I do"! It was absolutely amazing and a day I will always remember and cherish.
I've heard multiple people say it was one of the best weddings that they have ever been to and that makes me so happy and makes me feel like all the planning was worth it! Josh and I both enjoyed our wedding a lot, and it really couldn't have gone better. The two surprises I planned for Josh even went off with
out a hitch! Josh was able to sing with On the Rocks during the reception thanks to alumni from both On the Rocks and Outspoken and two very special bridesmaids to sing tenor and beat box. They all learned the one song that Josh said he wanted to sing with On the Rocks at our wedding, The Moment, a song that the current group of On the Rocks sings. It was wonderful and Josh had no idea, so bringing him down the hall into a room before the wedding to show him, "Some friends that were there to see him...", and then having them start singing the song and having Josh not even be able to sing the first part of the song because he was so choked up was the greatest thing for me to see :)
I was also able
to surprise him with a grooms cake that my friend Joanne made. I decided I wanted to do this for him near the beginning of our engagement and knew I w
anted to incorporate World of Warcraft into our wedding somehow because it's been such a sore spot in our life, but since it's so important to Josh I wanted to sort of say, "Even though I hate how much you play the damn game, I appreciate your love for it, and I love you no matter what." I think my point came across, and I could tell he just loved it.

Well, now that our wedding is over, nothing has really changed. We're living in the same house, with our same roommates, and the same jobs. We took about a week or two to get all of our new stuff settled in the house, and now our house is clean and back to normal. We spent about 10 months making a mess out of it and it's now finally liveable again, lol.
We're now preparing to have a garage sale in the next couple of weeks to clear out the garage and all of the old stuff that we don't need anymore. After that we're finally leaving on our honeymoon!
We were actually supposed to have already left and been back by now but we had to change the dates of our honeymoon because Josh applied for an amazing job opportunity. He applied to be a 911 call taker for the city of Eugene and his application was accepted and so he then had to sign up for the first part of testing, which he passed, and then the dates of the second part of the testing was scheduled during our honeymoon. We decided together that it was more beneficial for our future to have him take the test and even risk not getting the job then to not know at all if he'd get it or not and leave for our honeymoon earlier.
So we'll see how that goes! I'll do my best to keep you all updated with how married life is going :)
