The NewlyWeds

Settling into newlywed life is known for it's challenges, but most notably for its rewards. Bobby and I have thoroughly enjoyed setting up our new life and our cozy apartment for the past (almost!) 3 months. It's hard to believe that just 3 months ago, we were walking (almost running) down the aisle out of the church to begin our new life together!
So far we have enjoyed a beautiful and relaxing honeymoon in Cozumel, Mexico. We were treated with an all-inclusive vacation of 24-hour room service, all-you-can-eat gourmet food (Bobby indulged himself in "mexican snacks"), lounging by the infinity pool, and snorkeling among the worlds most beautiful coral reefs in the world. Although neither of us spoke ANY Spanish, everyone was more than willing to help us navigate around the island!
After suffering from contact dermatitis (a very itchy skin rash) from the soap we used at the hotel, I was quite ready to come home and settle in to our new home :o) I wasn't working for about a month after we got home, so I was able to put all of the gifts away and organize each room. Bobby spent his evenings refinishing some dining room furniture (given to us by his parents) while I was test-driving my cooking skills in the kitchen!
Our place finally looks like home... in the living area, that is. We have yet to furnish and decorate our bedroom! One thing at a time...
So in case you haven't been able to visit us in our humble abode, here are some pictures to introduce you!
