What Happens Now

Well I am keeping it up on blogging and had a hard time deciding as what to post on here tonight because I had a couple of different ideas.

You might be wondering what the title has to do with this post

" What Happens Now"

Well the other day at work a co-worker of mine approached me and asked "So you're married, what now?" and this got me thinking, what happens after the wedding, after the honeymoon???? Well I thought I would give everyone an update on what is going on with Joe and Me!!!

A Joe Update:
-Joe is working very long hours right now on multiple projects at KJWW. Although I miss him at night I have a great admiration for his dedication to his work.
-In the Next six months Joey will be studying for his PE-Professional Engineering Licence. This is big in the engineering world and I cant wait to burn the midnight oil studying with him.
-Joe is becoming Mr. Fix it. As any homeowner would tell you, there is always something to fix in your house. Well since the wedding has come and gone we are moving onto our house. Our bathroom is getting completely torn out in the next few weeks and re-done. I promise I will do before and after pictures.
-Joe is starting obedience school with Wrigley, our chocolate lab.
-The softball season is coming to an end but Joe has weekly basketball games to look forward to.

An Erin Update:
-Work is going well for me. After October I will be hitting the ground with the recruitment cell to various places in the United States. This is something that I love from my job, getting to see this wonderful country
-I am starting another blog, yes and it has been occupying my time. This blog will be more developed and I hope that you will check it out. I plan to reveal the name and web address SOON.
-I belong to a volunteer group called Junior League and I am chairing our fall fundraiser which is a wine/beer tasting. If you know me this is a very enjoyable thing.
-I am working on my children's book. I am finishing the manuscript and will begin sending it out to literary agents.
-I am becoming Mrs. Fix-It, well maybe I shouldn't go that far, more like paint, finish, and decor wifey. The bathroom adventure has me nervous but I felt better after the contractor said "I know what you want- SPA LIKE"


Well hopefully that sums up the question of "What Happens Now?"

Talk To You Tomorrow

1 Month and Going Strong

Well today marks Joey and I being married for 1 Month





Time has flown by, it seems like yesterday I was putting my dress on and meeting Joey at the end of the alter.





I was one lucky girl and arrived home to this tonight.
Thanks Joe for always being the guy that remembers a little thought goes a long way

I cant wait to spend the rest of my days with you!!!!!

D-M-B @Wrigley Field

Thank goodness the sunshine is back and I am blogging for the second day in the row, I know this is not a big accomplishment but I will take whatever I can.

Ok, So this past weekend Joey and I headed to Chicago. I swear there is an energy about that city like no other- I will always love that place.

We started off in Lakeview which is right next Wrigleyville with some dinner and drinks with great people!!!!

IT was a great concert, the weather was perfect, and Wrigley Field is an excellent place for a concert. I love having these opportunities to spend time with family. Our family is who we are!

Saturday guess who joined me for some shopping. . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . .

Madeline Jane, I took this while at a stop light I just had to she was jamming to the music, I love her spirit!

Something to Warm You Soul

Doesnt that look yummy???

Hope all my fellow Bloggers are doing well and you had a great weekend.

We had a great weekend and I will be posting about it this week.

I am challenging myself to post everyday this week, lets see if I can make it happen.

Since the past couple of days have gotten cold. I was looking for something warm to make for dessert that made me feel like fall.

I found this great recipe by Sandra Lee from the Food Network

Individual Blackberry Cobbler

2 Pounds frozen blackberries

1 cup sugar

3 tablespoons instant tapioca

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 packet butter biscuit mix (bisquick)

3/4 cup cream soda

Directions

Preheat oven 350- Spray ramekins with non stick spray. In a bowl combine frozen blackberries, tapioca, lemon juice, 1/4 cup cream soda, sugar. Stir together and transfer to ramekins.

In a large bowl combine biscuit mix and remaining cream soda, mix until blended, top blackberry mix with biscuit mixture. Sprinkle sugar on top of biscuit mix. Bake 30 to 40 minutes.

Serve Warm.

Hope you enjoy.

Honeymoon Journal and Pics-Part 3

AHHH the warm weather has gone away and the cold, rain and wind has arrived!!!!!!!!

I am in on this Saturday night so I decided to conclude our Honeymoon updates with a list of stuff from St. Lucia rather than my journal entries and the pics. Hope you enjoy.

St. Lucian's speak French but teach English in the schools, children learn French at home and in their villages.

Snorkeling was BEAUTIFUL the coral reefs and the fish are something that I could see everyday

I think I know how Tina Turner got great arms, KAYAKING, oh my goodness after a few days of this I was SORE.

WE ARE COMING BACK SOMEDAY

WE HAVE BEEN BITTEN BY THE TRAVELING BUG.

Although we didn't win at poolside Bingo we had some very good laughs.

Having your villa cleaned every morning and fridge re-stocked everyday makes it hard to get back to reality.

The non-active volcano natural mud bath rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WE ARE COMING BACK SOMEDAY!!!!!!

We missed our families for sure

Going to the pool never gets old

WE ARE COMING BACK SOMEDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had a great time and are getting back to reality and feel so lucky to have had this opportunity to spend quality time with each other as our journey begins.
