Ahhh, it's a wonderful feeling...I really love being married. It means that we no longer have time limitations or worries about when and where to spend time together. We just get to "be" and it's wonderful.
Moving in was an exhausting process! It was well worth the work though! We got everything unpacked and semi-organized in about 3 days! And that only happened because I have a hunky husband who was WILLING to move things and build things. I couldn't have done it by myself!!! But now we are all settled in and enjoying being able to just sit around and play MarioKart on the Wii or watch a movie in bed. AND we have been able to finally start our "At Home Honeymoon". On Saturday night, we went to a fancy sushi restaurant in OKC called "Sushi Neko". The sushi was fantastic but the atmosphere was a little less than desirable. It was very crowded, loud, and they played eery techno music the whole time...not quite the romantic dinner we were hoping for. But it was delicious, nonetheless. Yesterday, Monday, we went to the OKC Zoo! That was a fabulous and HOT time! haha :D We were able to see many awesome animals lounging around in the shade...and we saw ELEPHANTS. We saw a BABY elephant. And it absolutely made my day! I don't know what it is about elephants, but I think it's amazing how God has given such large animals such sweet and playful personalities. It blows my mind and makes me think back on the Garden of Eden before the fall...all God's creatures lived together in harmony! Adam didn't have to worry about being eaten by a lion. I don't know if he was "buddy-buddy" with them, but I do believe that there was something very different about the relationship Adam and Eve had with the animals in comparison to the relationships we are able to have today. And I think we get to see glimpses of that sometimes...maybe I'm just some weird animal-lover, but that's my theory. By the way, I miss my dog :/
Anyways, I think I'm going to start sewing today or tomorrow! I want to finish the skirts I intended to make earlier in the summer before school starts. I'll make sure to take pictures of the progress I make on them...I haven't made a skirt for years or sewed anything in years, so this should be interesting!!! Other than that, Ryder and I are going to start training for the 5K we'd like to do sometime in the near future. I picked up an awesome pair of trail running shoes at Academy the other day and couldn't be happier with them! We also plan to go bike riding...I don't really know how to ride a bike, so that should be fun! haha :D B.B., Ryder's grandmother, gifted me with a beautiful new bike and I'm really excited to learn how to get around on it!
Oh, I'm also really excited for school to start! I like school...I always have...but I think I'm especially excited because of the classes I have this semester. I mainly have Early Childhood Education classes, so I think this semester will be really fun!!! :D
That's all for right now!
With Love in Him,
The Walton Wife
