So....what is up with YOU?

• Cody and I have been married for two months already... I can hardly believe it. Time flies! We got our professional pictures back not long ago, and we're in the process of waiting for our thank you cards to be sent to us. I can't wait to cross my last "to do" off the list, and let our guests know how much it meant to us that they came and were just so darn generous. It brings tears to my eyes!
• We've been working our apartment little by little. Cody had painted the living room shortly before I moved in, and did the kitchen last spring. In August he did the bedroom and the back bedroom. We bought an awesome sectional (holla holla party at our place) for the living room, as well as a beautiful new bed and dresser. Add in our shiny new kitchen toys, we are finally feeling like adults instead of overgrown college students. Our towels match! We have nice glass food containers instead of Chinese take out storage! WE ARE NOT SLEEPING ON A FUTON!
  
• Epic Church is grrrrowing and we're so excited to be a part of it! The two of us have been leading a small group with our good friend Sarah, and we love it. Well, Cody loves it, I'm just along for the ride. I'm still finding my voice when it comes to being a leader, and I'm still discovering how to put my faith into words. I've always been on the quieter side when it comes to speaking about my feelings, so this is a huge step for me. We've been doing a message series from Andy Stanley and it's been a big help for me in dealing with choices I've made in my life and finding out where I'm going.
• We've been dealing with two on-and-off sick cats. Miss Mitts has breast cancer and Vanna White has kidney failure. We're trying to keep them as comfortable as possible, without breaking the bank and putting us in economic trouble. So far so good! Miss Mitt's seems to be in good health and spirits, and Vanna is improving by the day.
  
• Our first holiday as a married couple is almost here. We'll be spending the day with my parents and sister and her family in New Jersey. I've always loved Thanksgiving... it always puts things into perspective for me. I have so many things to be thankful for, and it's nice to have a day in which to reflect on that. I'm hoping to do a "thankful" post tomorrow or the next day, so check that out!
• Now that the wedding is done, I'm ONCE AGAIN trying to iron out a plan for grad school. So frustrating! I'd like to take advantage of the educational benefits my workplace offers, but nothing is really ringing my bell if you know what I mean. I don't want to go a course just because it's convenient or better than nothing (hence how I ended up with current college degree). I want to do something that's going to be interesting, challenging, and bring me to a place I want to be. And so the search continues..........
• Still working on paying my debt off! Slowly but surely...
  
• I desperately want to go to Europe next fall or winter! I'm hoping to get some freelance or babysitting jobs in the next few months to help save up. Since I'm no longer doing the insurance thing (long story, we'll save that one), I need another way to bank some extra cash. Any advice is welcome.
