Almost a year later…:)

So, yeah it has been a really long time since we have posted. I am not sure where to start but here goes. We still really like our apt. Coming up on a year in here we still do not know as many of our neighbors as we would like to. I guess I just do not know how to greet new neighbors. Nevertheless, I hope to learn.

Matt was laid off around the beginning of August; he went to work at a local marina. However, also needed a second job, so, he got a job back at Pottery Barn. The same company that he worked for when we were in Northern VA. Then March 1st he got a job as a Traffic and Production Manager at a larger advertising agency. Even though his job is not as creative as he is might like or is used to, Matt seems to be enjoying his new job. Matt has been doing more photography lately. We went to PA the weekend before my (J) B-day for Matt to take pictures. Susan did hair and makeup. Susan tried to get like 3/4 models lined up between Fri. and Sat. but I think all of them backed out. But, luckily Susan got her friend Kelsey to come out on Sat. and I posed on Fri. Things went good, and we figured out that the one model a day was good, by the end of the weekend we were ready for a weekend. Last weekend Matt shot Jen’s maternity photos. It took longer than I (J) thought it would. Susan came down and did her makeup. Becky came too, she was a real help with the “grip” job. I had no idea what I (J) was doing. I am glad that that they came down. They are always such a great help with hair, makeup, and posing. I guess it is from watching so much America’s Next Top Model…hehe.

I (Jess) am still working for the ASYMCA. I did get a promotion back in November. I am the School Age Coordinator. Although, I/we are considering a change for me. I would like to go back to school as soon as I can. We are not sure whether my current job is the best place for me to be in order to get where we want to be. Marsha and the gang came down for Easter. We went to Bennett’s Creek Park for the Easter eggtravaganza. We had a great time hanging out with the whole family, but really missed Derek. We cannot wait until he is home even for a little while.

We will try to be more diligent about posting. However, anyone that knows the first years of marriage or me (J) knows that maybe hard. Nevertheless, we will try.

Transitions

We will still be keeping up with the blog, documenting our life together. I am hoping to get started on the video this week and depending on how long it takes I hope to be finished by the end of next week. I can’t promise this though. We will also be packing this week to move into our new apartment in the Ghent area of Norfolk. This weekend we are going to try and get most of the big stuff out there, then slowly get the rest of our things out there next week.

This past weekend we got to spend time with my (Matt) cousin who is in town for just a couple weeks. His wife’s parents got a cottage in the Outer Banks last week and we went down for the weekend. There was 20 of us in a huge cottage which included 7 kids ranging from 7yrs to 2 months old. Man what a wild bunch, and what a lot of fun. It was a great and relaxing time, thanks to Ron & Wendy for inviting us. I should have some pictures up on flickr soon.

We have not had much time to wedding plan lately. We have been busy with work and trips back home. Hopefully we will be able to sit down and do some planning in the next couple weeks. But we are getting things done slowly but surely. We have about nine months till the wedding or atleast till the month we picked.

Reasons

Well we are starting this blog to keep our friends and family up to date on the goings on of our wedding planning. Then we plan on using it to just let people know what we are up to and adding pictures. We hope it is useful and enjoy!
