Our weekend in North Carolina is over, and we’re getting ready to go back to work. We had a blast, despite Mary getting sick after eating too much turkey I did manage to accomplish most of my genealogy task, and got over 136 people on my mother’s side of the family all entered. Once I get some more people on Dad’s side, I’ll throw up the first set of websites, as well as ask for more information, such as dates of birth/death, etc. My extended family is GIGANTIC!

I’ve uploaded the pictures I took here:

It’s been almost 4 months since we got married, and things are FINALLY starting to settle down. We’ve finished paying off all wedding related expenses, started collecting both paychecks regularly, and begun building our savings and investments back up to where we were before getting married.

Mary has been teaching since late August, and now that the initial bulk of starting school work is finished, seems to really be enjoying herself.

I’ve become flooded with work, as a few people working for me left for better jobs (at the same time…) in the past few weeks, and we haven’t hired anyone to replace them yet.

Everyone keeps asking if we like being married…and the answer is definitely

Given that this is our first holiday being married, we have decided to take it easy, and just spend the time together.  The last few years have been filled with running around, flying around, and going nuts trying to keep 2 families happy.  Now we are officially (finally!) a family of our own, we’re only going to focus on keeping US happy this year.  I’m sure next year we’ll visit around and stuff, but for now, we’re going to stay home and celebrate the holidays as a couple.

We will be visiting the Meadley’s in North Carolina for Turkey Day, however
