One year already!?

I haven't been on here since April? Man, time does really fly.

Well we've gotten through our first year of marriage! There have been a lot of different experiences, and "firsts" since this was also the first year without Dad around. Casey was been so understanding and helpful in any way that he can....even if it was just trying to make me smile.

The summer came and went, and was full of many surprises. Casey visited Canada for the first time and enjoyed his time at the cabin...he even wants to go back!

The weather was surprisingly chilly for summertime....I wasn't complaining though! Just ask Casey.....I don't take extreme weather very well.

Casey's hectic work schedule changed slightly after being promoted to lead supervisor at Sharks Ice. Now instead of coming home at 2 or 3 in the morning, he comes home around 11. I however, am usually still asleep, but on occasion I do welcome him now and then. But these new hours have definitely helped him get back on a regular schedule especially when it comes to getting up in the mornings for school.....

Casey and I are now both attending San Jose State University together, and even have the same schedule on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It's fun getting to spend more time together as we car pool....although Casey sometimes wishes that weren't the case :). I'm a little more of a perfectionist when it comes to attendance!

But now that our schedules are a little busier with school and work, we have less time for fun things like our movie Mondays. We did however take a trip to San Francisco on Oct 4th which was fun. We'd never been to the Zoo and were both enamored with all the different animals....well, Casey wasn't a big fan of the anaconda, and I got creeped out in the bug/insect room.Eeek! Too big! Too big!!!

Anyway, we just celebrated our first wedding anniversary and couldn't believe how fast this year went.....just like that. We enjoyed a weekend at the beach condo in Pajaro and just watched movies, and enjoyed the fire while it rained outside. Casey even got to have his favorite meal at Shadowbrook in Santa Cruz.....

Yes.....Prime Rib. He was in complete heaven the entire meal.

So now that the holidays are approaching, it's only going to get busier and busier....but it's our favorite time of year, so we try to handle it the best we can in order to enjoy it. Because that's what the holidays are all about right!?! You need to enjoy them!

So hopefully it won't be too much longer before I post again....but I really should be studying right now....just another form of procrastination! :)
