Laura and James got Married!!

Bryan and I went to a wedding this past weekend for two of our mutual friends from college. The started dating my first year at Tech together (2002). And they just got married this weekend. Laura made such a beautiful bride. I knew she would be because she made such a beautiful bridesmaid at my wedding.

It was fun getting to celebrate such a fun time with our friends and it was great to see other mutual friends from college. We got to hangout with Tom and his girlfriend Erin on both Friday and Saturday night as well as our friend Steve who has been working in Iraq since he graduated from Tech in 2005.

I really enjoyed getting away from the norm this past weekend, but we had to start back to the old grind today. Now I am starting a daily countdown for Hawaii in March. We leave in 40 days. I CAN'T WAIT!!! I know that I will need a break by then.

Life is Moving so Fast

I can't believe that this year has flown by so quickly. 2007 and 2008 were so busy for me and Bryan. In 2007, I graduated, Bryan and I got married, I moved to San Antonio with Bryan, and we put a down payment on a house to be built. In 2008, we moved into our house and I finished up my first year as a school teacher. I hope things slow down some in 2009
.
Bryan and I decided to make a list a few months ago of things we would like to do before we started having babies. We only put 3 things on the list, so that means it probably will not be but another year or so that we start preparing for a family. Our list is
  • Save money in preperation for the baby
  • Go to Hawaii
  • Get back in shape
We are already taking steps to complete getting back in shape. Bryan signed us up for a gym membership and we have been going 4 to 5 times a week since we joined. Bryan has also become a food inspector for me. He always does well with sticking to a diet and this time he is making sure I stick with him. He even checks my debit and credit cards to make sure I am not sneaking fast food when he is not around.

The second thing on our list will be crossed out this coming March. We are going to Honolulu. I am super excited (except for the fact that I am not quiet in bathing suit shape at the moment). I have never been to Hawaii. This will be Bryan's 3rd time so he will have a better idea of what we should and shouldn't do. I am so excited.

About Me

Our Pope Life began the day we got married on July 14th 2007. Bryan and I met in college at Texas Tech University our sophomore year (2002). We became friends long before we started dating on November 14th 2003. Bryan works as a software engineer at USAA and I am a math teacher at Kitty Hawk Middle School in San Antonio,TX. We are establishing our lives together one day at a time.
