5 months!

Today makes 5 MONTHS!

Time flies by so fast. I have been an AWEFUL blogger. I have been so busy with life and trying to be a good wife. I am about to graduate from school so I can do is focus on the fact that this part of my life will be over soon. We are both in school and this semester we barely see each other. Anyway other than that all is well in the Wright household. I will try to post more often.

4 months

Four months and five days ago I married a beautiful man. I consider myself a lucky woman to have such a wonderful relationship with my husband. Now granted we go with our little disagreements but overall we have a wholistic relationship. I feel so blessed to be able to experience this kind of love. He is truly in my eyesight an extraordinary person and I love him with all of me. Today as our 1st Valentine's as a husband and wife and I look forward to so many more. Happy Valentine's Day babe!

3 Months

Ok so I have been a BAD BLOGGER! I just realized that it's been a month since the last time that I blogged. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year! This post is a few days late but it's here!

It has really amazed me how being married changes your relationship. We are really growing as a couple! Happy 3 months babe!

TWO MONTHS

Today makes our 2 month anniversary! Here are a few pics from our post wedding session with out AMAZING photog.

BROKE

We will be married 2 months in 2 days and I can't believe that we are BROKE. LOL!!! We didn't put any wedding expenses on credit cards or take out any loans to pay for the wedding. But we used a lot of our savings to pay for it. Now don't get me wrong if I had to do it all over again I WOULD. Needless to say I am on the hunt for a PT job. I work as a adjunct instructor at a local community college while I attend Grad school FT and the semester ends this week. So I am off for like 5 weeks until next semester which is great because I still get PAID!!! But since the wedding I don't have the disposable income that I normally would have and it's the holidays. My company is always slow around this season b/c there are not a lot of weddings. I have a few X-mas parties booked but my calender is really open. I have a huge bridal show coming in Jan that will bring in some traffic so I look forward to that. But in the meantime I went on an interview for a job yesterday and I think I really want to work there. It appeared to be a good working environment and I can learn a lot. So I am keeping my fingers crossed.... the down side is that I may have to work 12HR shifts which suck but I will be PRN which is a great b/c they work around my school and work schedule. I will probably only work like 2x a week but the knowledge obtained is invaluable.

Last name game

I started this post right after the wedding and never uploaded it and this topic has came across my mind once again. Unlike most newly married women I didn't come straight home from the honeymoon and get on the phone and start changing my last name and I still have not done it. WHY? Because I can't figure out what I want to do. I have had my {maiden} last name all of my life and I'm attached to it some kind of way. So there lies my dilemma. Should I hyphenate which I hear causes lots of problems? Or should I have double last names like Hilliary Diane Rodham Clinton? I am not willing to just drop my last name right now at least. I am still in Grad school and it would cause a host of problems for me. I am not interested in dropping my middle name to replace my last name with my middle name. From my research I only have the 2 options I just described and keeping my name the way it is.

I know different people do things for different reasons. Neither of us have any children and I am 100% on board for our children to have DH's last name and at that point I would also want to have the last name as well. This is a 1st marriage for both of us. I have academic publications in my maiden last name and we all know how hard it can be to be published. My previous degrees are all in my maiden name and I hopefully I will be graduating again in a few months. I guess I have to make some decision soon. We discussed before marriage and I still could not decide but now that we are married I have to make a decision. My DHs feelings would be hurt if I don't change my name so I either have to hyphenate or have double last names... any thoughts

Being married....

is AMAZING!!! At first I thought that it wouldn't be much of a change. Well I was wrong. It's different...like I know that I have a partner in life and it's a beautiful feeling. Even at the times when we are upset with each other we both know that we love one another. I love that.... I know that he always will have my back and tell me when I am wrong. I love the honesty of our relationship. I feel so blessed to have my husband as my mate. I had a client call me today and his parents are celebrating their 50 anniversary in 2011 and their children are planning this huge party for them and I hope one day that will be us. Making it in a HAPPY, LOVING, HEALHY marriage for 50 YEARS!!! I mean if that is not a blessing I don't know what is! Anyway I was feeing overjoyed and wanted to express it.

Sidebar* I have been so busy with school so that why I haven't blogged about the HM yet. Stay tuned!!

Happy Turkey Day!

This is our 1st Thanksgiving as husband and wife and for that I am TRULY thankful! I finished our thank you's this week so I am going to share it with you (hopefully if it uploads). So as you know we are using a movie themed thank you because DH is a movie buff. ENJOY!!!

I used footage from the videographer and made a slideshow with the PRO pics in movie maker, added a little music and viola. I really happy with the end result. But for the life of me I can't figure out how some of the words or missing the end letter. I will attempt to began our honeymoon posts soon. I have been so busy with school but the semester is almost OVER!!!

****I could't get it to upload the entire movie so I just previewed the beginning****

Henna Party

I realized today that I never blogged about my henna party. So my ManOH and BMs hosted a henna party for me as a part of my bachelorette weekend. We had a get time here are some pics.

Thank You

I had to take a break from wedding recaps. I will post a few more pics of some of the details and some creative shots. I haven't even started organizing the honeymoon posts yet. School has me so busy it's the end of the semester and everything is due. I am waiting for our wedding video I can't wait to see it. For our thank-you's I decided that we would send out a mini movie slideshow with the wedding video highlights. Just a 10-15 minute DVD of the wedding highlights. So I called on my trusted graphic designer extraordinaire blogger friend Jonezy from http://www.thebuckeyebride.blogspot.com/ as you know she designed all of out paper products and as long as she is willing I will continue to use her FOREVER! She is awesome to work with in every way. So I told her my vision and sent a few pics and bam this is what I received from her.

I love THESE!

We have to sizes 1 for a DVD cases and 1 for CD cases. The guest get the CD cases I found a get deal on clear cases last year like 100 for $5 so I just held on to them and I plan to finish them out as soon as we get our wedding preview next week. I am so excited. Gotta go to class. Have a great weekend!
