Back to Normal?

Well, I think we've finally gotten everything washed, unpacked, and (mostly) put away.
We've had a little bit of normalcy here at the house (or at least as normal as it gets around here). The kittens are growing like crazy. (I swear they've doubled in size in less than a month!) The houses is a mess as always. (I don't know how people keep their houses so clean!) And our calendar looks a little less full. (But just a little, because after all, we wouldn't want to get bored or anything.)

The school year is quickly approaching. It's time for back-to-school shopping, lesson planning, and late nights grading papers. And of course, this year I'll have the added drive. Dylan has been making an hour drive each way all summer, so I guess it's about time I joined in the fun. I'm not at all excited about it, but I've come across a discovery that might make it a little more bearable. The Wilbor Online Library. It's a digital library linked to many of the public libraries here in Iowa that has not only digital books, but audio books! Halleluiah! Maybe I'll survive this after all!

I know I've been really bad about posting pictures, however, you'll have to bear with me as my computer doesn't want to upload any of my photos to blogger. So if you have me on facebook they're all there, otherwise you'll just have to sit tight for a little while longer until I can get my computer to cooperate.

I hope everyone's week is going swimmingly! As for me, I'm off to the county fair to look at the 4-H projects and enjoy some fair food before getting back to my lesson planning! Happy Wednesday!

3 Weeks in a Whirlwind

I have completely failed at this blogging business. So here are the basics of our first three weeks of marriage:
Our honeymoon was amazing! We had a week full of adventures, including staying in the Harry Potter room at the Sylvia Beach Hotel.
We spent the 4th of July celebrating with Dylan's family and then drove to Metropolis, Il to celebtate my biggest little brother's wedding. They had their wedding up on the dock at the lake and then scuba dived down and repeated their vows and everything.
And then this week (2 days ago) we got two little kittens. Pheobe and Trinket are ornery, but we love them already. So playful and full of cuddles! :)
I'm not sure how uploading photos is working since I'm writing from my phone, so I'll get some more up later with a little bit more detail. But, in the meantime, here's a snapshot of the craziness we've had the past three weeks. I think we're both ready for a day off! Lol
