Long Time Gone

It's been too long since I've last posted an update about Alex and I. We are doing well and we've stayed as busy as possible. Between his crazy travel work schedule and my busy school schedule with conferences and events, we have just been enjoying it all and taking it in.

We've been trying to save money for this summer and we've realized that we want to do somthing that we've never done before. We want to travel and have fun! This is such a blessing to have a summer off together.

With only a few months left in the school year, I've been trying to stay away from grading papers on the weekends. It's hard when Alex is out of town to not work from home but he tells me all the time that I need to give myself a break especially when the school gives us this time off. He's so right.

Did you know that I have the best husband ever? On Valentine's Day, Al was out of town. The night before on Sunday, we celebrated by watching a movie and hanging out together. The next day at school, I received a beautiful bouquet of flowers with stargazer lilies, roses, and daisies. It was perfect.

This past weekend, Emily, Derek, Stratton, Alex, and I went bowling in Jackson. First, we arrived all excited. The guy told us that we could not bowl due to NARS renting out the whole thing. At that time, only two lanes were being used. They were not evening arriving until an hour later. This rude dude told a two year old that he could not bowl. How rude....

Anyhoo....we stuck around and played some arcade games and them Emily's friend Ashley showed up (who works at NARS). She said we could bowl for $2! Normally a game costs about $15 a person! What a deal! We didn't leave there until 12:15. We had a blast! Stratton had an amazing time too.

Today, President's Day, I am running errands and putting our wedding picture in the paper. Keep your eye out! I'm also having lunch at China Palace (one of our favorite places to eat). Yummm...
