Oh well...
I apologize to everyone for not giving honeymoon updates - our packing/move has made me super uneasy. But most of our stuff is packed away now. The movers came on Friday to get our 5,000 pounds of stuff. Maybe I'll write about the trip once we get settled in OK. I think I'll have a bit of time then - after Amanda's wedding.
Adventurers, This Way Please!
Well, Andrew and I have made it back from our honeymoon. It was amazing. Truly. I owe an extremely long detailed explanation of our trip for everyone. It's a good thing I took lots of pictures and kept a short daily diary of the trip. I think I might just make an entry for each day of the trip, according to the special name provided by Adventures by Disney. Then you can pick and choose what you want to read. I hope to be posting the Best of the Best pictures from London and from Paris on Facebook. They will probably be up before I finish writing about the entire honeymoon. So I hope you will stay tuned over the next couple of days for them. There might be a bit of a lag though - in about a week or so, Andrew and I will be making our move to OK. So we will be saying goodbye to Texas. So I guess we'll all see how good I am about packing and getting all of this information typed out.
Between trips
We are back from Lawton OK. It was a crazy trip. We checked in to Army Lodging at Fort Sill - only to find that the sheets on our bed were hairy. Super hairy. Ask for new sheets - they don't arrive for 45 minutes. Apparently, there is limited maid service - that is, only the maintenance guy is working on the weekends. We go out to dinner, and return to the room. We are there for 20 minutes when the power goes out. When I say the power goes out - it's out for all of Fort Sill. There is absolutely no working electricity. We get a little fed up and find an available room at a Ramada. We thought Ramada's were nice hotels. Not so much. This one was so sketchy - I really did fear for my life. There was one shining star in all of this - Henry, the guy at the front desk. Man, he was amazing - we checked in, and then 20 minutes later checked out. I can't imagine how he deals with it. He should really be working at a nice hotel - like the Hampton or Fairfield Inn. So we returned to Army Lodging. It was only after we have gone to Walmart to get a flashlight, that the power was back on - approximately 11:30 at night.
Monday was markedly better - we visited 2 apartment complexes, and was advised at the second to go see a newly built complex for some other layouts. We walked into the 3rd complex and looked at this great 2 bedroom/bathroom flat. We debated for about a half an hour and decided to just go for it. Everything is brand new - appliances, fixtures, carpet, wood floors, we even have a washer and dryer hook up. I'm excited to not have to walk outside to do laundry. Bigger plus, it's cool to have pets there, just a deposit and no monthly fee afterwards. We are stepping down a bit in square footage - but the new place has several really large closets - our current apartment doesn't have much of this type of space. I am confident we can make it work though. So, we should be in the new apartment on July 29th. I'll have to send out an email to update all this information for everyone.
With that, we got our flight moved up a day. So we got back to El Paso on Tuesday - just early enough to experience probably one of the largest rain storms of the year. That was fun outside of the water dripping through the window sills. Hurray for being able to move soon. This morning I got one of my two packages from circuit city. It is not my wii fit. It's the accessories I had to bundle with it. I'll probably get the fit tomorrow after we have left for our honeymoon. Maybe it'll come early in the morning like the accessories did. But who cares. We are going to London tomorrow. I can't wait!
Catch up with you later - oh yeah, the proofs are available online now from the wedding.

WEDDING PROOFS!!!
Okay, yes I am a tad bit excited. But today, one day before we head out to Lawton to look at apartments, and the zoom off on our honeymoon, we received the proofs of our wedding pictures in the mail. Our photographer, Lauren Grabelle, did an amazing job. Andy doesn't really like taking pictures, so when we finished looking through the lot (and when I say lot, I mean LOT), he said those pictures were great. High praise! Plus, we had a lot of fun looking through them. There was a lot of, "oh, and we were talking about this when this was taken." They really are great. So I need to thank everyone who was a part of the day - it really was great.
Since we have the proofs, this means that they should be going up online very soon. For anyone who couldn't make it, I am going to attempt a cut here with all of the online photo info, so that you can see the shots. I would suggest taking a look at them next week, which is probably when they will become active.
This is probably the last post for a while - unless I can get one in during our short turn around on Wednesday. Wait until the 20th to get Lawton and Honeymoon updates and photos on facebook.
Oh yeah, here's to an enjoyable July 4th weekend everyone!!

Wii FIT!!!!
I have been looking for a Wii FIT since I have arrived in El Paso - at the beginning of June. Mind you, I have been kicking myself in the butt for not preordering it back when it first came out, since I knew I wanted it. I just didn't think it was a good monetary choice, seeing as there was still wedding related things to pay for. Thanks to Kate for telling me about
RefreshThing
and my own google searching for
Zooalert
that this morning both told me about Circuit City having them in stock. In my insanity I tried to get a single Wii FIT in my cart. Only to realize I needed to get a bundle. So I added a travel case and a cover to my cart and magically the Wii FIT appeared in my cart. Hurray!!! So I think I am set on video games for a while. I haven't really wanted any - I did get a chance to play rock band. It's fun - but I don't think I'd get it for a while.
I should get the FIT in the short time between getting back from Lawton and heading out on the Honeymoon. We'll see if I get a chance to play it. I'm happy, and I think Andy is finally happy he doesn't have to see me with a sad face when I miss attempting to get a FIT.

July
Wow, a travel intensive month. On Sunday, we will be heading to Lawton, OK to find an apartment while Andy is attending class at Fort Sill. We come back to El Paso only to get on another plane the next day for the Honeymoon. I can't wait - London and Paris. I plan on taking lots of pictures. I really am excited. I haven't been on a huge vacation trip in a while. More detailed report to come later, rest assured. When we return, we have one week to get everything together to move to OK. Another new place to say I have lived. Crazy really.
I am hoping while we are in OK to get a rescue pug. I have been looking at dogs at Homeward Bound Pug Rescue. There are a couple of pugs here that I think would be so much fun - like Dexter, Baby & Buddy, Biscuit, Dirk, and well sheesh, if I could I'd adopt as many as I can. I'll have to see about the apartment dog situation. But hopefully I could make a call to the rescue and maybe talk to them to find out more information. By the by, OK has a lot of pug puppy mills. So I think I have a good chance of finding a good dog. But the catch is...Andy gets a cat. Hopefully one I am not really allergic too. That would be fun.
Oh yeah, maybe I'll try to find a job - does Cameron University need any adjunct faculty?
