Ryan and I have now been married for 5 weeks. So basically, we’re pros if anyone is looking for marital advice…. ;) I have to say, I absolutely love it! It is still strange to think that I have a husband, as that word has never been in my personal vocabulary before. Being married is an adjustment, but not as much as I thought it would.
Our wedding day was perfect. Everything fell smoothly into
place and there were no scares, hiccups, etc. The temple was amazing, the
reception beautiful, the food yummy, and family and friends were fantastic.
Both of our families were able to make it out here to Utah, and that meant so
much to us. They came in from Indiana, Texas and California, all arriving at
different times. We didn’t get nearly as much time with all of them as we
wanted to, but were grateful for all of the time that we did get.
We left for Vegas the following day for our honeymoon, and
spent a good amount of that trip in crazy heavy rainstorms. I was happy that it
all held out until after we had our wedding day, but since Ry had to drive in
it I don’t think that happiness was shared to its full extent! We spent a few
days down in Vegas staying at the Venetian Hotel. The suite we had was huge,
beautiful, and also had a beautiful view. Some of the highlights were seeing
all the fish at the Mandalay Bay Aquarium, eating yummy food from several different
places, watching the fountains at the Bellagio, lounging by the pool, and my
favorite, seeing Mystere by Cirque du Solei. So fun! The only downfall about
the trip was all of the cigarette smoke, which my lungs did not like, and made
their protestations heard. Once we got back I had a horrible cough and Ry was
convinced I was dying. After talking to my mom and sister, I discovered that
they were having similar symptoms. Turns out my 10 month old niece had Croup,
and us ladies all picked up the virus. I’m finally only coughing like every
other day, and it continues to improve. I’m sure that if I hadn’t gone in to the
doctor the week we got back to get antibiotics (at Ryan’s urging, since I won’t
go to the doctor unless I’m dying), I would probably be a long way off from
recovery still. Ryan never picked it up from me, for which we are both grateful!
We are all but settled into our home, with just decorating
left to do. We’ve got several things to hang on the walls and display on the
bookshelf, and then we are officially done! Until one of us sees something that
we feel we just have to have, and then the projects will continue. But that’s
what keeps things interesting! J
Well that is long enough for my first post, so I’ll stop
while I’m ahead! We’ll see how good I am about keeping this thing updated.
Honestly, it probably won’t be a problem since I often get spare time at work.
So get excited, you’ll get to hear all about the Chronicles of the Deuels on a
regular basis!
-Love, Amanda (& Ryan)
