I woke up today feeling good. I am going to have a productive week. I have nothing planned other than my post op appt on wednesday afternoon so I have lots of time this week to catch up on things I have been putting off. Things I would like to accomplish this week:
1. Visit the annapolis tile store and the bathroom store (2 different stores)
~ This way I can start to think about the tiles I want upstairs in the bathroom.
2. Visit Meagan, RT and baby Nash
3. See a movie by myself ~ thinking about The Ugly Truth or The Proposal (101 list)
~ Marvin and I went to see Transformers last night. I hate movies that would NEVER really happen. I felt like it was a total waste of my time. Not a good movie, but I guess that is just because I hate robot movies. Seriously, would never happen. . .
4. Cook dinner one night this week since I haven't cooked in so long. this may include a cake from scratch, again on the 101 list!
5. Visit my Nanny in the hospital. I would like to do this tonight with Marvin, but we will see.
6. Stop by the library and get more books. I love to read, but the summer time is the only time I have the luxury of reading for enjoyment.
7. Finally call Roomstore to replace the dresser drawers that were damaged in the move.
I will stop with 7 things on my to do list, but I am feeling productive so I may add on more to that list as the week develops!
I had such a good weekend. I had a great time with Marvin. We were able to get some work done at the house, thanks to Jim! And we were able to have a date night with dinner and a movie! I also got Marvin onto facebook :) Another reason I had a great weekend. . .I went shopping, bought ALL of this stuff, and Marvin can't get mad because we really do need it for the new house. Maybe not need it, but it will be useful! I feel like I can finally start to enjoy my summer off now that the stress of planning a wedding and the pain of getting my tonsils are over. By the way today is our 1 month anniversary. We made it for all of you that doubted us. Just kidding!
Only 3 weekends left before I go back to school. I am going to make the best of it! Still hoping to be all moved in by August 19th. That means 1 whole bathroom needs to be complete. Keep your fingers crossed!!!

Honeymoon pics!
We had so many good pictures from our honeymoon. Here is a sneak peek! I tried capturing some of our many adventures. 
Marvin and I in the waterfall. It wasn't a huge waterfall, but it was a romantic photo op!
Here is our hummingbird friend we found around the jacuzzi at the spa. He had 3 little eggs in his nest.
This is a picture of me on the last morning with my amazing waffles. They topped it with a scoop of ice-cream
and strawberry jam. Yum!
Here is a sexy picture of our ziplining excursion. The hair net was a sweet addition to my outfit!

Our towel friends on our bed. We had flowers, balloons and champagne left too!
This is the front of our hotel. I nice worker took a million pictures of us. Everyone was so nice! And it was refreshing to see people working hard, having a good time and not complaining one bit, because it is their job!
This is the arrival to St. Lucia. I thought it was cool we were able to unload right on the air strip, not sure what you call it, but right on the ground.
I will try and get myself together and post all the pictures on facebook. We had so many!

Still no wedding photos, but the photographer said they should be up by this sat 7/25. The website is http://www.shelbyleigh.instaproofs.com/ and the password is krimar.
I had my tonsils out yesterday. It didn't hurt much yesterday, but after all my surgery drugs wore off it hurt. I can't talk much and I am taking meds every 4 hours for pain. So far so good. And to answer everyones question. No, I guess I didn't really have to get my tonsils out, but I have the white, stinky balls on the back of my throat so I went to the doctor and she said it was chronic tonsillitis. The only way to get rid of it was to get my tonsils out. Good thing I decided to get them taken out because when she went out to give my parents an update she said my whole tonsil was filled with the cottage cheese looking bacteria. I am happy with my decision, but not happy I will be in pain and not able to do much for 7-10 days. Feel free to stop by with some rita's and a movie :)

It's been so long
I have no idea where to start since I haven't blogged in about 2 months.
I have made some progress on my 101 list.
I read my first book for fun this summer and realized how much I miss reading. It was called "The Wednesday Sisters." I thought it was a very cute book. The book was about 5 women who meet in the neighborhood park and follows them through the ups and downs in their lives. Very cute girls book.
I also have gone to my first Orioles game of the season. Marvin and I love going on Friday nights so we can see the incredible fireworks. We were also able to sneak into the box seats thanks to one of Marvin's customers. It's all about who you know!
I had pictures taken in a photobooth at Dave and Amanda's wedding. My brother and I decided to go in together since I was dateless. We took some hot pics and then forgot to sign in the guestbook or really I was too embarrassed and my brother was just too drunk. He was busy telling everyone I was his little sister, but it was cute because he was proud to announce he would be marrying us in 2 weeks. I think he was also secretly trying to score some business for the newly pronounced Reverend Matthew Hunter. He can perform weddings, baptisms and funerals!
This was cheating, but I did complete #1 on my list ~ to get married. But along with it I also left the country for the honeymoon ~ St. Lucia, went ziplining, planned a spa multi-day, bought a tropical dress (ok really 3 but I couldn't resist) and I also bought a new bathing suit (again, I bought 3 but I NEVER can find any suit I like that I actually look good in).
I also tried to donate blood the other day, but since my drivers license isn't up to date and still says my last name is Hunter, I couldn't donate. I was a little irritated I waited for about 40 mins before they told me this, but I was still proud of myself for attempting to do a good deed!
So to catch up on my life in the last couple of weeks. . .
I finished teaching in the middle of June, but I have just started to enjoy the summer off! The wedding kept me so busy, but it was well worth it! The honeymoon was everything I dreamed it would be except I could have stayed a month longer and had a few more days to lay out in the sun. I was happy to have Marvin all to myself with no one or really family to interrupt us or so called "friends" that only call Marvin when something is wrong with their cars. Now it is back to reality.
We are currently living in about 3 homes. We moved out of the condo in Chesapeake Beach and are renting it to a coworker of mine. Marvin is worried because they have 2 cats, but I was just happy to have the place rented to people we trust. All of my clothes are at my parents house and most of his clothes are at his moms house. We go back and forth spening the night between the 2 houses. That is quickly getting old. My first piece of married advice. If you want your marriage to fail, move in with the in-laws. That goes for both of us. I obviously feel more comfortable with my family in my old bedroom, but Marvin feels more comfortable at his old house. The thing is at least at my house you don't have the whole family scrutinizing your every move. I feel like everything I do or say at his family's house is put under a microscope and then posted on the "family bulletin board" for everyone to observe and comment on. I don't roll like that. I get so angry that every little tiff is reported in to the either Marvins mother or grandmother. I'm sorry, but the last time I checked I was an adult and I am married. I don't need anyone to tell me how to live my life. But this has made me all the more determined to finish the renovations at the new house or at least make up a bed so I can have my own home to go home to every night. I want my own privacy where I don't need to report in to anyone on what I am doing or where I am going.
Marvin's birthday is this friday. I was going to bake a cake or cupcakes and take it up to his work to celebrate his birthday and also Jose who works with him also has the same birthday, but apparently I don't have to because Mary (Marvins mom) has already stolen that show. That is my thing to bring up goodies to the shop for the guys. Marvin really hurt my feelings when he was so excited to tell me to stop up at the shop this thursday because his mom was making a cake for him and Jose. I guess Marvin has forgotten that I usually do that for him, not his mommy. . .
I am getting my tonsils out on Monday. Apparently it is going to hurt REALLY bad and I will not be able to do anything for 7-10 days. I have to have a babysitter for the first 2 days because of the medicines after surgery. The doctor said she could care less if I ate anything, but I have to drink plenty of fluid or I risk getting a bleed and then that leads to more surgery. Believe me, she doesn't have to tell me twice. Getting my blood drawn for the preop was bad enough! I almost passed out because I hadn't had anything to eat. I think I scared the lady because I turned ghostly white. She had to run and get me some fruit juice before I passed out. I blame this on the hospital since my appointment was at 10:30 so naturally I didn't eat beforehand, but I was left waiting at the hospital until about 1pm so they could ask me medical questions and draw my blood. What a waste of my day. Then after the preop appt. I went the the Calvert County DMV. That right there is the first mistake. Calvert County is so far behind in how the system works. The DMV is located in the county court house. I had to leave my cell phone in the car and walk through security to get inside the building. I waited in line with my marriage license and old driver's license. The lady at the front desk said she needed the marriage certificate even though the social security agency asked for the marriage license AND that is the paper which is notarized. To make a long story short, I had to reach over the counter and rip my old drivers license, marriage license and marriage certificate from the ladies hands. Apparently they need the certificate because the license only says we are able to get married and the certificate states we had been married. They were mad the marriage certificate was not completely filled out even thought I explained that my brother performed the ceremony, he had signed the certificate but he has the worst handwriting so we were going to type in the rest of the info (all it was was the date, time and location of the event). They also tried to say that my marriage was null because the Reverend did not complete the paperwork before leaving the church the day of. I guess they thought I was lying about getting married. They didn't even want to look at my new social security card with my new name. I walked out telling her she was a piece of shit because they were so nasty to me so I threw it right back at them. Needless to say they won because who do they care if I get a new license?
I promise I will try to blog more!
