Married

2008-12-06T11:13:00.000-08:00

So it's done! Kevin and I got married on Wednesday. It wasn't big at all, kind of spur of the moment (except we planned to do it) Kevin's mom and brother Matt came. We are planning on having a wedding later, so we didn't want it to be a big deal. By the way, does anybody know how I'm supposed to go about changing my name? Here's some pics of the courthouse wedding.

Jetta in the bathtub

2008-09-21T07:35:00.000-07:00

So I know that most of my pictures on here are of Jetta, but I can't help it, she's my baby. I gave her a bath yesterday. Definitely not her favorite activity, but she needed it. She was starting to get stinky. So while I was giving her a bath we had a talk. Jetta told me that she had decided to convert to Islam:

Doggie Dip Day

2008-09-07T14:47:00.000-07:00

Today we took Jetta to Doggie Dip Day at the pool. She had a blast and was swimming for almost two hours. It was so funny watching her at the beginning, trying to figure out how to get over the edge of the pool to get in the water. We had to push or throw her in the first few times, and then she finally got it. She also managed to drink half the pool and she peed more than I've ever seen anyone pee in my life. Watching her swim in the pool was funny too, cuz her back legs were so far apart when she was pushing, they looked just like frog legs. There were soo many tennis balls in the pool too. I really wish we'd gotten a picture of her jumping into the pool, but oh well. Here are some cute ones.

Jetta and the other dog decided to do some synchronized swimming.

Here's Jetta with her really soggy face

And Jetta swimming in circles.

And just some of her swimming

New hair cut

Kevin came home from FL and decided he'd had enough of his curly hair, much to my disappointment. Of course he always looks good, I might even say that he looks better with short hair (more professional), but I have always had a thing for curly hair. Here's my guy with his new hair cut.

Bat Mitzvah

2008-09-04T15:48:00.000-07:00

Kevin and I left Jetta alone for a few days so we could fly down to Florida for my cousin Stephanie's Bat Mitzvah. We were sad to leave her, but we had a really good time. My uncle really knows how to throw a party. Stephanie did an awesome job reading from the Torah. I love my little cousin and wish I could get to know her better. Her a Jessica are so cute and funny. Anyways, here are just a few pictures of our extremely busy trip to Florida.

The day we flew in Uncle Mike (the world's best uncle), Kevin, and I met Tiffany, Tyler, and Grandma (the world's best grandma) at the beach.

The day of the Bat Mitzvah my grandma held a very nice brunch for all her favorite people. Lucky for us we were included. Side note: I didn't really take very many pictures, but most of the ones I took are really good. I'm sure my sister has plenty on her blog as well. Anywho, we didn't eat any breakfast and were really hungry by the time the food was served. Here's Kevin's plate and the look on his face :)

This is us in the synagogue. It's a nice perspective picture. In order, Tyler, Tiffany, Aunt Linda, Kevin, me, and David.

Aunt Colleen and Uncle Mike took us to Howl at the Moon, a really fun piano dueling bar. The couple sitting in front of us drank two whole buckets and several shots of liquor. They were pretty wasted. It was hilarious!

And last but not least is a picture of me just havin a good ol' time in my awesome bright pink shirt.

All in all, it was a really busy weekend, but also tons of fun. I'm so glad I got to see all of my family too. I really enjoyed spending time with everyone and getting to know them all a little better. I'm going to try to go down there a lot more.

More furniture

2008-08-13T15:09:00.000-07:00

We finally got some living room furniture! I'm super excited. We got a pretty good deal on all of it too. IKEA is great, by the way. We still need a couple of things, like a tv, stereo, and some book shelves, but this place really looks like a home now.

And of course I have to include a picture of my dog, because she is amazing. It seems that she has laid claim to our new chair.

pics from apartment and the beach

2008-07-21T15:26:00.000-07:00

We went camping this past weekend down by the beach, and I took a couple pictures of the sunset that turned out pretty cool. The guy in the top picture is kevin's brother Matt. He's trying to catch a crab so he doesn't have to go skinny dipping (he made a bet with his wife that he could catch a crab)

These are more pictures from my apartment. This is our backyard! These are all pictures from our balcony. It's a pretty nice view if I do say so myself.

2008-07-16T17:38:00.000-07:00

Okay, the long awaited pictures of the apartment are here. I forgot to take a picture of the balcony and my batteries are being recharged, so that one will have to wait. Kevin won't let me show the pictures of the living room, because it's basically just junk waiting to have cool storage places, and there's no furniture. So enough about that. Here they are: In no particular order, the top left is the bar view of my kitchen with granite counter tops and a cool sink. Top right is the gigantic refrigerator that seems impossible to fill up. Middle left is my awesome big closet that fits all my clothes (eventually the folded clothes will be in a dresser that will match our bed). Middle right is yours truly wearing an extremely wrinkly shirt and in dire need of a hair cut. Bottom left is my awesome dog laying in the middle of our new bed (that is SO much better than an air mattress). And bottom right is my great bathroom which we've decided to do in bright colors. And that, folks, is about it.

Apartment

2008-07-15T18:33:00.000-07:00

So I'll probably get pics of my new apartment up tomorrow or the next day. We just have to clean up. I finally got some hangers today and we still don't have a dresser, but that is in the near future, but I still have to actually hang up the clothes I can. Someday we'll have living and dining room furniture. Until then we have camping chairs in the living room and we eat on the floor with a plastic container as our table. I'll definitely get pictures up of the town square we live in. It's a great place, with over 20 restaurants and some really cute little boutiques and an art school right across the street from us, that we can see from our balcony.
I love living this close to work. I'm only six miles away and it amazes me every day when I look at the gas gauge. I feel like I have so much more time to do the things I need to do. I've been running almost every morning, which makes me feel good. As soon as I can afford it I'm going to invest in a membership at the Bikram Yoga studio that's about 5 to 10 minutes away. I love Bikram yoga! I just wish it wasn't so expensive. Oh well, I'll just keep running.
Something silly; we taught Jetta how to run on the treadmill (there's a gym right down the hall) . It was so hilarious to watch her running and realizing that she wasn't going anywhere. She loved it though, as soon as she got the hang of it we couldn't get her off. It'll be a good way to keep her excersized even in bad weather.

New apartment

2008-07-03T17:05:00.000-07:00

Well, I'm not very good at this whole blogging thing but I've decided to give it a try. Kevin and Jetta and I are in the process of unpacking our things in our new apartment. It's a great place, right in downtown Rockville, just 10 miles out of DC. We're right by the metro and the train station! It's only 6 miles away from my work too. Maybe I'll get in really good shape and run to and from work... ;-D Just joking.
It's hard work moving things and unpacking but I love being so close to work. My job is great, my boss is super nice and a really great lady. She's very laid back, she doesn't care what I do as long as I get the work done. I like it though, it makes me want to work hard.
Jetta's getting used to the new place. It's been really confusing for her to move so much. Just as she got used to the last place we moved again, but this move is a lot more permanent. She was pretty depressed for a day or two, and gets that way occasionally but is doing a lot better.
