Still moving ...

We are still in the process of moving- all of our big stuff is at our new place and we only have like 10% of the stuff we own still at our old place - so this is the home stretch. HOWEVER it is agonizing, we know live in a sea of boxes, and when we started this whole moving process the boxes were very organized and well labeled and some how along the way we stopped labeling them and so now it is anyones guess what the box they are about to open may or may not contain. I am exhausted, Ryan is exhausted and even little Berk is exhausted. (Berkelee's exhuastion is mostly due to the fact that our new location has stairs and for a little guy like him - stairs can be quite exhausting.)
So this post is short, I need to take a shower and unpack some more boxes.... The most exhausting and depressing part of this move is that it is indeed again temporary - and we will all too soon be packing up our things and moving AGAIN....

Our life in a nutshell

I don't have much to blog about today - but I promised that I would do a better job keeping this up to date, for those of you who are still reading it on a regular basis.So here it goes. Nothing is really new with us, we are anxiously preparing for our big move. It is almost tragic how much stuff you aquire just from getting married. When Ryan and I moved into this apartment- collectively we owned a book shelf. Seriously we both owned NOTHING - just the clothes on our backs really. True we each had TV's and computers but as far as furniture goes NADA...
Then one by on we got a couch, a kitchen table and chairs, and entertainment center.... and now as I pack our bags and boxes I look around at all the stuff we have and relise that even more changed when we got married then I originally thought. Never again will moving mean 2 trips each with our cars... Trucks need to be involved now, things need to be disassembled, volunteers need to be found....
Packing up has been kindof fun for the two of us. There are tons of appliances that we forgot we recieved that we are suddenly stumbling upon. Not to mention that as we pack things up, we can't help but look back at this past year and think of all the amazing memories that we have made-

One year down and a new arrival.....

It's offical, Ryan and I celebrated our 1 Year anniversary today!!! Ryan surpsied me earilier this week with a new little bundle of JOY!!!! Berkelee Otis Williams was welcomed into our world May 10th as an early anniversary present. He is an adorable baby puggle boy. For all of you who are not, in the know, a puggle is a pug and beagle mix. It also just happens to be People magazine's Dog of the year for 2006.
As for anniversary celebrations, Ryan took me out for a nice romantic dinner and we went to the park to play with our little boy. Berkelee has such a fun personality and I think it is really good for Ryan and I to practice our parenting skills with a puppy before jumping into it with a real live baby.
We are experiencing all the fun and excitement with Berkelee, like getting up in the middle of the night to take him out, rearranging our schedules to work around his naps and feeding, being kept up at night by the sounds of Berk crying..... you know all the fun stuff. But he seems to be worth it, so we're going to keep him.
Other then that nothing much is really new. I had an unfortunate mishap with the laundry the other day, and have officially been banned from doing any laundry indefinitly. (I am upset about the things I ruined, however the punishment is not so painful....)
We are busy packing up our lives here to move to our new apartment. It is kindof fitting that after our first year we are packing up and starting over someplace new. We have had a lot of great memories here in our first apartment. We both still love being married. We are so thankful for all of the blessing we have in our lives, including each other. I can definitely say that for me- the honeymoon has not ended... Life is still bliss
We love you all and we miss you .....

We're MOVING ...

Alright, its been decided as of May 27th we are out of here.... We found a new place to rent that is like 150 more sq. feet then we are living in now- (our first place was a whole 609 sq feet of love). The move will be good for us- its a little closer to my work and a little closer to the U of U for Ryan.
With moving comes packing and we are not really excited to start with that... Although in the last year we have probably aquired a lot of things that we could really afford to ditch at this point.
Our 1 year anniversary is quickly coming - and we are so excited. I have no idea what Ryan is planning, he says its a surprise and Ryan is really really good at surprises. So we will see. THat is about all that is new with us. Ryan is done with school for the semester- we are just plugging away til graduation... hopefully sooner then later. We miss you all and we love you.

P.S. there is the floor plan of our new place. So now even though a lot of you won't get the chance to come and visit, you can still get an idea of what our place is like...
