Date night - - Broke Style
Carson, wonderful husband that he is, has made it a point to have date night once a week. Since we've had some coupons and been able to eat out a few times this week for super cheap, we decided to stay in for date night tonight. I cooked an easy dinner and then we played board games. We did most of this by candle light. If you're thinking we did this for the romance factor, think again. We got our first energy bill today and, seeing as how I've never had an energy bill to pay, I was a little shocked. So we are learning our way around the apartment in the dark and bundling up when it gets cold. I'd like to keep some money in my pockets!

Finally . . . more pictures
I'm finally getting around to posting more pictures. No, it didn't take me all this time to do the laundry, I just forgot to take the pictures. So here you go. More to come. I couldn't give it all away at once! Enjoy.
The living room:
These are our family boards. If you were at the wedding these might look familiar. These are pictures we collected of our families and special memories from our childhood.
And finally (one of my favorite rooms) . . . the Kitchen!
Can you picture it yet? If not you'll just have to come for a visit!

We're Official
It's been a pretty busy last 7 days in our lives!
To start off, Carson and I are officially residents in South Carolina. We went to the DMV and got our new licenses and license plates. I almost don't recognize my car because of the strange looking plates on the back. I must say that I was dreading this trip because of the horrible reputations that the DMV's have in Orlando. But when we checked in they gave us a number and as we entered the next room they were already calling our number! It was pretty painless. So now all of the big changes have been made and I have to say it's a huge relief. The move is very bittersweet. As fun as it is to have my own home and be living in a place that I love, it's still sad when I think about all we left behind in Florida. Changes, even good ones, are still hard.
Carson and I also started a couple's bible study last week. We had 3 couples show up on our first week! God brought a great group together and we're looking forward to really getting to know each other and digging into what God has to say about marriage.
This weekend Carson and I went to visit my Grammy and other family in Alabama. Little did we know that we had picked the worst weather weekend to travel. We drove in rain pretty much the whole way there on Friday and were greeted by tornado sirens when we got there... and woken up by them the next morning as well. The weather finally cleared up for the rest of Saturday, but on Sunday morning we awoke to a world covered in white...SNOW! Now, being a Florida girl this is a pretty big deal for me so I was a little disappointed that we had to get ready and go to church instead of make snowballs.
We did get to play in it a little bit when we stopped at a rest area on our way home. We took some nice pictures before we put the camera down and a snowball fight ensued.
But as the sun went down and we continued going north, the snow was not as exciting because of the slowdowns that it caused. We made it home finally to see our new home covered in snow for the first time.
