A New Leaf

Good morning! (although, it is almost afternoon...)
I didn't do as much with this blog during the wedding planning process as I would have liked, but I'm about to change that.

Welcome to our married life! It's an adventure every day, and we'd like to share some of those adventures with you! This blog will probably turn into a part travelog, part foodie blog, part coffee snob blog, and part mishmash. Should be fun!

We have been married now for 7 months (ish) and just as happy as the day we got married. We honeymooned (officially) in Virginia, and are still honeymooning in Mc Donald, TN. I (Ashley) am still in school, I have one more semester after this one, God willing. Jordan graduated in December and is working full time at Network 7 Media Center in Ooltewah, TN.

We moved into our house in September, and we are all much happier with the space we have now. (About 1400 sq. ft. compared to our previous apartment that was about 800 sq. ft.) Our cat, Alcott loves the room to run, which he does... most often right under our feet.

 This is Alcott. Also known as Al-snot, Al-cat, Al-kitty, Fuzzy Butt, and Baby. He's addicted to toy mice and he likes to taste whatever it is we are cooking. He will stand up to the counter or lay directly under our feet until we give him a piece of potato or broccoli. He's our baby and he knows it.

The only cat I know who enjoys belly rubs. Crazy cat.

Jordan and I have gotten involved with a new hobby, Geocaching. We don't get to go as often as we'd like, but we've found some pretty cool caches! We're planning to set one up ourselves, so watch for more info on that.

Both Jordan and I enjoy taking pictures. We use a variety of cameras, Jordan has a Nikon D80, I have my iPhone, and on our honeymoon we bought a Fuji point-and-shoot waterproof camera. It's green. We use that one most because of it's portability.

I'm currently in a class that involves taking photos, so I'll be using the Nikon for that. I'll post links to the photos from that class as I take them.

We have a current goal of losing weight this year. School has insulated us both well, and we've decided it's time to get rid of said insulation. We have set a goal of losing 100 lbs collectively. We'll let you know how that goes.

I recently finished my first big project for another class, Digital Video Production. I'll post a link to the video soon. I'm quite proud of it actually!! Today is the day I turn it in, so I'll let you all know how it goes over with the class and the teacher.

I must run for now. But I'm going to try to post again soon. Have a great day!
