Hello- First post!

Hello to our family and friends!
I thought this could be a fun way to keep everyone posted on David and I... or maybe it'll be really boring, who knows... lol, you be the judge!

So what are we up to? I'm working at Career Services at UWF still as a graduate assistant while working on my Masters of Education in College Student Personnel Administration (CSPA)... basically a long name for wanting to work with college students in the student affairs aspect of higher education! I'm doing an internship this summer as well- working with the SGA coordinator putting on a Summer Leadership Series for the executive student members of SGA. It's been a lot of fun!

David is working with Waffle House and doing great! He got #1 store in the district 3 times in a row!! When he's not working he's probably playing on the xBox360 battling it out on Call of Duty...

Recently David has started running with me and I'm SO excited! We joined the McGuires Running Club and go every Tuesday night and run a 5K with the group- there's hundreds of people there, it's great motivation! I'm hoping he'll do his first 5K race with me next month.

Lastly... there is our furbabies. They are really the center of our world, or at least mine! haha. In fact, not too long ago we just got back from a trip to the "big" dog park and PetsMart! Princess (our dog) is now passed out beside me. Princess is about 3 years old and we've heard she's a border collie/husky mix, australian shepherd mix, etc. We're not too sure what exactly she is, exept adorable! We adopted her in November from the local Junior Humane Socity and she was already housebroken and pretty well trained. Woohoo! Although we think she's perfect, we do acknowledge she has a few... weaknesses. Haha. Lets just say she one time ate over 80 hershey kisses and it made for a really fun evening!!! I'm sure there will be many blogs about her adventures.

Then there is Starla (or Starla Warla Bear as I refer to her). She is our 9 year old kitty! I adopted her about 2 years ago from a kitty shelter. She is the sweetest and most well behaved cat! We can't understand why anyone would have given her up, but their loss! I think her and Princess are destined to someday be best friends, but they beg to differ. haha. Although last night I did catch Starla given Princess a lick like she was grooming her! That's a big step from the normal sniff and then run away. They definitely have laid down ground rules for each other.


David and I can't believe our one year anniversary is coming up in 3 months... feels like we were just at Walt Disney World saying "I do!" (as most of you probably know, we are HUGE Disney fans!). We are seeing if there's anyway to squeeze in a short trip to Disney for our anniversary... we shall see. We will be heading to "the world" in January where I will be running the Disney Half Marathon, along with my Dad, brother, and some of my friends! I'm sure my struggles throughout training will be another big topic on this blog. ;)

Anyways, sorry to make this first blog SO long, but it was more fun than I thought! Feel free to comment and I hope this will be fun for everyone!
And just because I CAN, I'm going to end with a wedding picture, because now I miss our wedding! lol!
