Bennett Buzz: So the Honeymoon begins!

Time flies when you're having fun! Monday, June 27, 2011 will make 6 months since the wedding! Whoa. I can't believe time has flown so fast. Marriage isn't all rainbows and butterflies like people sometimes think it will be; there are unicorns too. Anthony and I have learned so much more about each other in the past few months and have gone through a lot of adjustments and changes. We've been getting used to living together, newlywed "activities" ;), taking care of our dog-daughter, family trips, work, cooking meals, church, etc. I'm tired just thinking about all we've done.

Pictures from our Honeymoon in New Orleans, LA
December 28,2010 - January 1, 2011
Our honeymoon was wonderful and I am so glad we got the opportunity to spend time just getting used to each other as man and wife. We stayed at a Marriott in the Business District of New Orleans, LA and walked almost anywhere we needed/wanted to go. When we weren't busy spending time together, we were eating amazing food from the muffaletta, gumbo, craw fish, beignets, etc. While on vacation, we had the opportunity to see Dr. John at Tipitina's. Our honeymoon vacation was fabulous and ringing in the New Year as husband and wife was the best feeling!

The Wedding of Tim & Natalia Mayes

February 19, 2011

Funny story--- I spent the night with the bride Natalia before the wedding; it was the first night that Anthony and I spent apart since the wedding. All of the guys in the wedding party assumed that Anthony would be on time, since he's married and Danielle will make sure he's got everything. So my dear sweet husband was an hour late to meet the guys before going to the church. We all laughed when we found out but there was no issue because of it. The wedding was lovely and I almost cried walking down the aisle seeing my husband and then watching Natalia and Tim gaze at each other before becoming man and wife. We are so glad we got to be a part of their wedding.

2011 15k Gate River Run

March 12, 2011

Running with Thelma up to seven miles per night, Anthony was quite a champion when it came to preparing for his 15k (9.5 mile) run. It was a cold early morning when I dropped him off at the race and I met him at the finish line where as he blew me a kiss as he finished. This handsome husband of mine finished the 15k in 1 hour and 47 minutes!!! Whoa!

Before his 15k--- Can you tell he's excited???

After the 15k--- He got a medal!!!

Date Night

Circa end of March

We try to do a date night at least once a week and are doing Family Home Evening on Monday nights. For FHE, we play trivia games, scavenger hunts, and competitions that help us to bond with one another. We love going on double dates and one of the funnest times we've had so far was going to see Guns and Hoses Boxing Tournament where my coworker's husband fought and won.
