I’ve been a married woman for 5 days now. The apartment is still a mess, and I’m still unemployed. My poor, sweet Evan is working 2 jobs currently, busting his butt with 16 hour work days. Hopefully that won’t be lasting too much longer. As soon as I get a job, he’ll (hopefully) loosen up on the pressure of making money.
Our “honeymoon” didn’t exactly go as we’d planned. We’d been saying that we were going to lock ourselves in, turn off our phones, and just goof off for two days. Of course, we forgot to take into account that Evan’s brother Nathan would be in town, and since we only get to see him once or twice a year, we spent a lot of time at the Pooles’ house visiting. It was fun, especially when we were eating. They fed us like kings for two days! On Monday night we had ribeye steak, grilled shrimp, salad, corn, cucumber and radish salad…and more. It was amazing… Oy. Lynn and Lenard took Nathan home last night; they’ll be staying in Maryland through Saturday, since his master’s commencement ceremony is this weekend. We’re supposed to be taking care of the cats while they’re gone.
I’ve been slowly unpacking, but my tolerance for that is pretty low. I’m really sick of all the crap all over the floor, though.
Wedding gifts have been opened…pretty sweet! Getting married is quite profitable.
Evan, Nathan, and I saw Iron Man on Sunday night. We drove down to Discover Mills for the 10pm showing. It definitely lived up to the hype! Robert Downey, Jr. was awesome (and sexy to boot). I’m excited for the next one. There were a bunch of great previews, too. The Dark Knight is going to be amazing. The Happening looks really scary. I think I’ll pass on that one. I’m a bit weirded out that they changed actors for the Hulk from Eric Bana to Ed Norton…? Weird. I like Ed Norton, though Eric Bana is easier on the eyes. Indiana Jones comes out tomorrow! Hopefully Evan and I will be able to go see it.
Lynn (Evan’s mom) gave me a $100 giftcard to Ann Taylor for my birthday so I could get work clothes. I bought 3 blouses on Monday and still have about $45 left. Yeehaw!
I didn’t cry at the wedding. I thought I would, but I was strong! The ceremony was really lovely, though super windy. I have it on DVD, which I’ll see about sharing soon. Also, the pictures are going to be awesome! Jason did such a wonderful job. I’m so excited about getting those back from him.
Went to Assi Plaza yesterday to do some grocery shopping. It’s always fun to be the minority in a place, and I certainly was yesterday (the only white person). I got some great deals on produce, though, and I got some kimchee! I need to buy some rice today, then I’ll be in bibimbap heaven!
Today I’m getting my hair cut, I think. Nothing drastic, just some split ends and shaping up…
