We are making it!

Sam and I celebrated six months of being married this weekend!. Can you believe it, on Sunday February 1st, we have been married six months!.  Time sure has flown by, we still feel like we just got married last month.  We celebrated Friday night at Macaroni Grill, because after we were sealed in August we went to lunch at Macaroni Grill while everyone else prepared for the reception.  It was just enjoyable this time as it was last, we splurged and got drinks, something we haven't been doing lately, I got an Italian Soda and Sam got a peach lemonade.  Then later that night we talked about everything we remember feeling the last days before getting married.  Sam experienced pure excitement, while I was anxious, nervous and a little bit of a wreck!  Funny how different boys and girls are.  
Anyways we have learned a lot while being married, but we have mostly been enjoying being together so much and having someone to depend on and count on.  We find ourselves at home a lot on the weekends because it's rare to both be home during the week with nothing to do.  When we stay home on the weekend we play the Wii together trying to beat each others high scores.  Right now Sam has the high score in shooting and I have the high score in ping pong, and Sam will always be better than me in Mario Kart.  We also spend lots of time in the kitchen and I am sure learning a lot about cooking.   Some of our favorite meals are, crab cakes, roast beef sandwiches, caramelized pork chops, and pecan glazed salmon.  Sam has really branched out with my cooking and is such a great sport!.  Since we met we have adopted some of each others hobbies and interests.  Sam introduced me to snow shoeing and we really like getting out doors in the middle of winter and hiking around in our snow shoes.  He also got me hooked on boating, even though he is a skier I really like wake boarding, and we are both really excited for the warm weather.  We also love spending night outside on the tennis court.  
I thought I would post some wedding pictures, since most of you haven't seen them.  Enjoy! and thanks for all the love and support throughout our engagement and these past 6 months, we love you!
