Bar

Today Matt takes part one of the NC State Bar Exam. I am so impressed by his dedication to law school and all the hours he has put in. Don't worry Matt, you'll do great!

I wonder what life will be like after Wednesday afternoon? It has been a long long time since life without law school or studying for something... should be interesting... :)

Good luck to everyone taking the bar this week!!!

1 Year

Today Matt and I celebrated our One Year Anniversary. I can't believe it has been a whole year since our big day. We have had a busy year, in fact as I type Matt is preparing for the bar exam.

What a wonderful year. At random times today Matt or I would say, "What were you doing at this time last year?" It has been fun reminiscing about that day. We even ate our wedding cake. I don't know why everyone told me it would taste awful, they were totally wrong. That cake was delicious! Just as I remembered it! Thanks Melinda for quadruple wrapping the cake top, it was yummy! Here are some pictures of just how well it held up...


Oh and Matt going in for a bite...


Yum...


So since we are not technically "Newlyweds" anymore, I had to make a new banner for the blog. I think I like it pretty well... we will see if I make any changes to it.

Thanks for all the wonderful anniversary wishes today, we look forward to many many more anniversaries to celebrate!

Thinking Thursday

Yesterdays Wordless Wednesday is a picture of the cutest little Yorkie I've ever seen. His name is Lenny and he is the newest member of Rick and Frankie's family. When we took Dutch over to meet him, she loved him! Although she didn't love how much Matt and I loved him, can you say jealous? I think she felt better when we came back home and Lenny stayed there. Haha

Lots of things are going on... Matt is preparing for the bar nonstop and this is the first week of school for me, plus life in general equals a really busy week.

Can't Believe It

I can't believe summer break is over. Where did the time go? It seems like just yesterday I had all these big projects planned to do, and well.... now its over. I did get some sewing done that I wanted to get done, and I got stuff sorted out for a Yard Sale but I never got around to having the yard sale. Oh well, I will have weekends and after school to get more things on the list complete! Back to school tomorrow!

I would like to share a website with you that is a great way to spend some time. You are learning things and donating to a great cause, ending world hunger. It has been around awhile but I thought that maybe someone didn't know about it...
