Jewelry Giveaway
Check our a really cool jewelry giveaway, but don't enter to win because that would lesson my chances of winning...j/k enter to win, it's fun:)
Our Home
Our first apartment is just a studio apartment. We live in downtown Evanston, so there is always a lot going on outside. I didn't take pictures of the bathroom, because it was too small to even bother. There are a few bars near where we live and we get to wake up to drunks yelling in the street in the middle of the night sometimes, but we've come up with a solution to this problem. We're just going to buy a squirt gun, and spray them from our window whenever they wake us up. We've decided it would be rather amusing, although we don't have a squirt gun yet, but maybe some day.
Our Home
Our kitchen, and yes that really is all of it.
All of our cute dishes.
Our "dining room" area.
The view from the couch.
Our window/book shelf.
View from the doorway.
Our super cute bed. I love this bedspread!!!
Botanical Gardens
For our one month anniversary Andy took me to the botanical gardens. The flowers were just blooming and we walked around for hours. Isn't he so romantic?

A nice view over one of the ponds.
A banana tree.
The flowers were in full bloom and there were thousands of them.
There were islands covered in flowers, unfortunately the pictures don't do them justice.
Our First Easter
We had a fun time this Easter, mostly we just made Easter eggs, and bought candy to put in our homemade Easter basket. Really Easter was just a good excuse to buy candy for ourselves. We had planned to go on a picnic but it was raining, so we just laid out a blanket on the floor and had our own little indoor picnic.
Drive to Chicago
Our honeymoon consisted of driving to Evanston, IL, a suburb of Chicago. This is my new home and where Andy has been and continues going to school at Northwestern. We took a few pictures along the way, mostly to help make the drive a little less boring.
Drive to Chicago
A stop along the way to enjoy the scenery.
Colorado was a beautiful state to drive through until the snowstorm hit...but still the most exciting state along the way.

Nebraska...there's really nothing to say about Nebraska, it was a pretty boring drive.
Our car was clear full of everything we could fit inside.
World's largest truck stop!!! Pretty cool, I know.
Iowa, we're only one state away from our destination!!!
We finally made it to Illinois, and I couldn't even keep my eyes open for a picture.
Wedding Pictures
Sorry everyone, we don't have pictures back from our wedding yet, but I will post them once they are finished and I have them.
Engagement Pictures
Here are a few of our engagement pictures, we had so much fun taking them, but were very cold by the time we were finished:)
Married Life
So I believe someone on facebook said something about how now that I'm married I should get a blog. Well I already had one, but I guess it was time to do some updating. I've been married for a little over two months now and this blog is going to be all about me and my wonderful husband Andy, because lets face it, I really don't have a life without him any more, which I feel is a good thing.
