In the Doghouse

Remember that girl who started blogging here about a month before her family tree-themed, DIY project-filled wedding... oh, some seven months ago? Then she all but disappeared without even sharing a bit about the most wonderful day of her life? Yeah, that would be me. This Yorkie's been a bad dog.

I never would have imagined that our first few months of married life would continue at about the same rapid pace as the ones leading up to our wedding. Immediately after returning from our amazing honeymoon in Scotland, I began training for my fifth marathon (which I'll run in just a couple of weeks!). Catching up at work and with life in general took longer than I'd anticipated.

Then Mr. Y and I did so well budgeting and saving up for the wedding that we decided to extend the plan to work toward our next major purchase...

We made the big move at the end of November and have spent practically all of our free time transforming this little place into our very first home, one project at a time. As with the wedding, we're DIYing as much as we possibly can. It's definitely an adventure which has been at times exhausting, but most definitely rewarding. I honestly never thought that we'd become "homeowners" so soon after assuming the titles of "husband" and "wife"!

Hard at work on our quirky pool-colored patio

Now that the dust is beginning to settle a bit, I feel that I'm finally able to dedicate the time and attention required for our recaps. I'm excited to share all about our special day with you (and boy, do I have some stories to tell!).

So if you'll have me back, hive, I promise to be a faithful friend and never stray like that again.
