Tyler Carves a Pumpkin

It came out this past weekend that Tyler had never carved a pumpkin. Ever. In his life. Clearly, that had to change. Now, I'm not a pumpkin-carving fiend, but it is something that one must do in his/her life. So while at Target this weekend, we bought a pumpkin. And a carving kit.

PS: We have been married one month. As Tyler says "being married is way better than being not married."

the Apartment Finally Feels Like Home

With all the craziness of new full time jobs, last minute details of planning a wedding and a small amount of procrastination, neither Tyler or I did much to prepare to move prior to the day we had the UHaul. Combining that with many wedding gifts created a very stressful moving day. We finally feel settled. Here are some pictures of our new place!

 Aaaand After:

Tyler & Kelsey looked forward to the weekend.

What a last few weeks we have had! Once we got back from our trip. we have been busy non-stop with working full time, moving and settling into our new place. Tyler looked at me last night and said "What are we going to do once we are done moving in and our thank yous are all sent out?" That is now the question.

Plans for the weekend? NO work. Sleeping in. Continuing to settle into the apartment. Play disc golf. Grocery shop. Make tacos. Have some friends over. Watch the Vikings. 

It is going to be a great couple of days!

Tyler & Kelsey See a Few of Their Wedding Photos

So excited to be able to share a link to some of our wedding photos! We can't wait to see the rest.

Kimi did a GREAT job. I absolutely recommend her if you are looking for a fantastic wedding photographer.

They Honeymoon to the Bahamas

We spent our honeymoon on a NCL Bahamas Cruise. It was absolutely perfect. The only minor bummer was that I (Kelsey) was sick the entire time. The sinus infection/bronchitis/other ailment I have has stuck around since the evening of the wedding until now. It is much better than it was, though. Antiobiotics work wonders!

Back to the trip recap. We flew into Miami and headed straight to the port. Our days were spent in Freeport, Great Stirrup Cay and Nassau.

We were on our way for our much anticipated scuba excursion when we noticed a little piece of paper tucked in our door. Due to "in-climate weather" and "lack of participation," our excursion was canceled. Luckily, our room was within feet of the excursion desk. We went to talk with them and were convinced to change to spending the day "Wyndham all-inclusive Resort." It was a cheaper excursion, plus we saved 10%! Not bad. Unfortunately, all-inclusive resorts are not quite so fantastic when the weather is uncooperative.

They are gorgeous, though!

We had a great time, but ending up grabbing a taxi back with some other people around lunchtime and ultimately got half of our money back. How rare is it to make money on a cruise?!

Day two was spent at Great Stirrup Cay, a private island owned by NCL. We did an awesome kayak tour and were able to be wading in water within feet of giant stingrays, starfish and even jelly fish. A little scary, but a great memory. (Sadly, they said not to bring cameras with. A good choice, as they would have gotten drenched and probably been wrecked).

Day 3 we docked in Nassau. We at at Senor Frogs, shopped the straw market and bought ferry tickets over to Paradise Island. The beach there is unreal. It was a bummer that we did not have swimsuits and were running low on time.

The cruise ended and we spent two days in Miami. We had the perfect morning at South Beach. We had the place as much to ourselves as I think is possible in such a hoppin' place.

 

Kelsey Decides to Start a Blog

Tyler may or may not know I am creating this blog. I will tell him tonight, and then we will know if this will be our stories from my point of view only, or also from his. Either way, the hope is to use this blog to share snippets of our life as we begin this journey called marriage. Join us?
