Sorry we never update this thing anymore. I want to try to update it more often. A lot has happened since last summer so I will do a quick recap.
June 2010~
5th~Mark and I were in my sister Autumn and bro in law Daniel's wedding party
6th~We moved out of our house in Prescott, AZ.
9th~Mark camped with my family while I finished my last three shifts at the hospital
11th~We left for CA
11th-29th We stayed with Mark's mom and had a great time...went to Mark's brother Marshall's graduation and grad party, celebrated my birthday, visited with family and friends, Mark was in our friend Eddie's wedding...his wife Monica is great and we had a fun time and were happy to be included. than on the 28th we flew to Georgia and from Georgia to Indiana where we went to White Castle as soon as we got out of the airport. lol.
We were so happy to be in our new home with our beautiful yard and our own private bedroom and bathroom(that needs a lot of work...but I'll talk about that later) and to see my family. also living out of a suitcase for a month is not always fun.
July 2010~
The rest of the fam arrived July 3rd and we unloaded the moving truck. 4th of July was not so much fun at first because we were all cranky and it was super hot, but we went out to watch the fireworks and had our own fireworks at home so it was fun. we just spent the month relaxing and hanging out going to the park a lot and playing in the backyard with a slip n slide and water balloons. At the end of the month I finally got a job at walmart as a cashier because I found out getting my CNA lisence transferred was going to be a lot harder than I thought. also we found out that Mark's brother Mitchell and his fiance Jessica were expecting their first baby in March.
August 2010~
worked at walmart part time and played outside in the pool most days. It wasn't that interesting of a month, but I did find out what its like to have a minimum wage job.
September 2010~
Starting trying to get my CNA stuff figured out...applied at a little nursing home and got hired.
October 2010~
Started at my new job, it was ok at first but I would soon find out that it was not a good place for me. Mark and I celebrated our 1st anniversary on the 10th and it was a great day. Mark made me dinner and we stayed at home and played board games all night. we had fun. :)
November 2010~
not much happened this month I just worked a lot. also we found out that my brother Aaron is expecting his first baby in April :)
December 2010~
Christmas time...Mark and I had our own Christmas tree for the first time. it was white and it was so pretty...we decorated it with bright colors and lights and tinsel and it was great. We celebrated Mark's birthday with our nephew Eli and my dad so they had a dinosaur cake. :) Christmas was great because we got to spend it with my mom's mom and we hadn't had Christmas with her in 7 years.
January 2011~
not much happened this month except that I ended up at the hospital in a lot of pain and found out I had a kidney infection so they put me on antibiotics which made me sick...blehh...but mark was there for me the whole time. he is always there when I am sick. thank goodness for that.
February 2011~
We found out Mark's brother Matt and his wife Heather are expecting their second baby(in October) so that was exciting :) we spent Valentine's day at home and I made Mark dinner this time. it was a fun night. I finally got my CNA lisence transferred to Indiana and began my search for a new job because my current job was causing me way too much stress. I was crying every night.
March 2011~
I started my new job on March 22nd and love it so far.
Our new nephew Maxwell Ivan was born on St.Patrick's Day and we are excited to be going to meet him soon.
So I know this wasn't that great of an update lol, but Mark and I are doing well, we are going to CA next Friday so that should be fun. My nephew Michael is due in a couple weeks and Autumn is coming out next month for Katie's graduation. I will try to update this more often so you guys know what is going on with us. Love you all!
Amber and Mark
Wow I forgot we had this, guess I should update...
Amber and I got married on October 10th of 2009, and our closest friends and family were there to watch. For those that couldn't make it, we still love you.
We're moving this summer to Indianna- with her whole family. It'll be great, I think it'll be a good thing. Beforew wich my little brothers graduation, her sisters wedding renewal and our good friend's wedding. Its gonna be a crazy summer.
We're both planning to go back to school her for her nurse practitioner license and me for a teaching degree.
It may be awhile untill some dreams are met, but we plan to work hard for both of ours.
'Till next time,
Mark and Amber
Okay time for an update
Amber and I are doing well, Monty is getting bigger.
We're just livin life, and lovin it!
We're still planning on getting married, so apparently I haven't pissed her off too much.
Well, as my dad would say,"thats about all I know I guess."
I'll write more as more develops.
Mark and Amber
So, with a new year comes the new lovers day!
Amber was so surprised at what i gave her, a box of those Lindor Truffles-which she absolutely loves.
She knows me all too well because she got me a Reeses Chocolate heart and a Super Mario sweatshirt.
We just got back from eating dinner at Olive Garden, which we both love.
(un known to me, you can get a glass of beer there, who knew?)
I had the Garlic Herb Chicken con Broccoli, and Amber got the Spaghetti and meatballs. We both had dessert her the Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake and I had the White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecakke and booth of us loved it all.
When we came home
monty attacked us because he missed us, so i rolled around on the bed with him so he'd tire out, now he's sleeping. He's so addorable!
I love amber and Monty so much.
G'night all, till next time,
~Mark and Amber
Tonight Mark and I are going out on a double date with Autumn and Daniel(my sister and brother in law). We're going to an Italian restaurant called "Papa's" I had never heard of it, but I guess it's really good. Hopefully that will be fun, it's not often we get to go do anything [even half] by ourselves.
I'm really happy to have started my new job. I work on the 4Th floor of Yavapai Regional Medical Center on the Med/Tele unit. I've only worked 1 night so far...it went well...just a lot different than Las Fuentes. There was a misunderstanding about my schedule so that was a little frustrating, but it's all figured out for now. I go in at 6:30am tomorrow and Friday. That should be interesting because I'm not a morning person.
We got quite a bit of snow this week. Every one's trying to say it's the most they've had here in 5 years, but I argue with that because I remember having a ton of snow a couple times last winter and the winter before. Monty doesn't like the snow...well he doesn't like anything cold at all. Poor little guy, Mark gave him a bath today...he was shivering for 30 minutes afterward. He's a good dog though...I've never been much of a dog person, but I can't help but love him.
Well I'll post more here soon. We love everyone!
