7 Weeks

Really, where does the time go? I can't believe, 7 weeks ago tomorrow I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off in total panic about the wedding. I look back now and think, well that was silly-it turned out incredible. More incredible than I thought possible.

I'm crossing my fingers that when I arrive home this afternoon there will be a small package containing more photo disks than I'll ever know what to do with! I cannot wait to look back and reflect on June 2, 2012. I know there are things I missed, little details I forgot to really soak in and I know Ashley (photographer) captured them. Even when we watched the film of the ceremony one week after apparently I was so caught up in marital bliss, I didn't even know it was windy. Not a breeze either, like a real wind storm. And I'm usually so observant!

Things are going smoothly in the Nelson household. Scott is busy trying to pave I-86, working the most ridiculous of hours. Some days he's off at 3 in the afternoon, other days in 9pm. Very confusing! I am in the middle of my practicum, unfortunately we are on the down hill side of summer (how sickening!) and I have just about a month before school starts (even more sickening!). How interesting will this final semester be as an Undergrad. It is long overdue and I am ready to get started into the Master's program. Should be an interesting ride.

This week, we also started to put landscaping in our front yard. We had curbing added and now we are adding trees, shrubs, and perennials. I can decorate the inside of a house like no one's business, but when it comes to the outside, I had no idea. There is so much to landscaping that I was not aware of. I really do think we picked some great things and I can't wait until it is all bloomed out. It's really rewarding to know Scott and I are doing this ourselves. We have such a sense of pride when we step back and look at it.






Take a look :) We aren't all the way done, I'm heading to the greenhouse as soon as I'm off today.
We wanted to make sure we had enough space all the way around before I got too crazy and started buying everything... Because really, that's why I wanted to do. I was just a little excited..

Until next time,
-M
