the flood....

Well - 2 days after we moved into our new apartment.... just enough time to unpack everything - our hot water heater busted and flooded our apartment. I woke up at 2 am the night before I was starting my job and Jeff was starting school to the sound of a waterfall. So, I woke Jeff up to figure out where that water was coming from. When he stepped out of bed he was ankle deep in water - apparently the heater had busted a few hours before and our apartment had been flooding for a while.
Anyway, we stayed in a hotel for a couple days while everything dried out and they replaced the carpet pad but will be ripping up all the carpet and flooring this week to replace it. Fortunately, there really wasn't that much damage, not enough to cover the insurance deductible anyway.
I told Jeff this has to happen to everyone once, so hopefully that will be our one time and we won't have to do this again =o)
My first week of work went well, except for being very tired the first few days! I'm learning pretty quickly and looking forward to being fully trained. School has been fine for Jeff, he has some friends in his classes and he's feeling pretty good about the semester.
We started going to First Arlington a few weeks ago and have REALLY enjoyed it! We're excited about getting plugged in there and making some friends = )
Here's some pics of the week:

It has been REALLY cold this week, so we decided to use our fireplace and make some smores.... yum.





My husband is adorable!

In an unrelated note: I got a lot of cookbooks for the wedding - cool right? I thought so, but so far I've made some pretty unimpressive dishes (maybe option overload or something)... I feel bad for Jeff, he's a sport and eats them - but he decided he's in charge of dinner this week.

Some Pictures

Well, before I start work tomorrow and Jeff goes back to school I thought I would put up some pictures since I'm not sure when I'll be able to do this again.


This is our beautiful wedding party


Abby did a GREAT job with all of our pictures!!!


This is at one of the restaurants in the resort we stayed at


It was SO pretty, we had a great time!

I'll put up some pictures of the new apartment after all the boxes are gone =o)

Lots going on these days. I will update more once we have moved and settled down a little bit. Here are the highlights
- we're married, it was awesome, had so much fun at the wedding
- honeymoon to the Rivera Maya, again - awesome, had a great time!
- stuff everywhere in our apartment, can't see each other across the room, making us claustraphobic, we are moving
- job offers, interviews, etc. I accepted a job today so we'll be moving to the Bedford-ish area.
- looking at apartments today and tomorrow and will hopefully have completed the move by the end of this weekend
- I start work and Jeff starts school on Monday..... whew

I miss you Waco... and those who live there. We're coming to visit the weekend after next. love!
