our first week of marriage, anything but ordinary.

Most couples we know start their marriage off with a few days, if not more, laying on some tropical island or cruising their way to a fantastic destination. Seeing as how we decided on the "non traditional" way to wed, why not follow suit with what should be known as a honeymoon but was anything but... here is the story of our first week:


We started off with this










Spent one day here








Spent the afternoon walking around here












ate a romantic late lunch here









headed back to the hometown to pick up these two










spent five days getting her ready for school and working hard at homework







spent the same five days chasing her around every waking minute







slept a little bit each night due to lots of this








then on the last day of being parents, we headed home to begin this










which resulted in some of this










And finally...












HOME AT LAST
A girl can dream right?!!! ...
We have moved in to a temporary home (a little over two months here)
then it is time to pack up and leave good 'ol California headed for a new adventure.
We had a busy first week, we watched two of the four kids I take care of and packed up and moved in to our first temporary first place. As far as being parents for a week goes, it was planned LONG before we went and decided to get hitched, so I guess you could say we asked for the whirlwind of a week. Ha, atleast it makes for a funny story to tell our kids, and the rest of our family when they hear about the very first few days.
Needless to say, when April comes around and we celebrate our "real wedding, " we're going to be more then excited to take a weeks vacation and spend it as lazily as humanly possible!
