Jody and I spent all of last weekend at Target.  Literally.  I never thought the day would come that I would get my fill on all of the goodness that is Target, but I did.  With all of the wonderful gift cards from our wedding, we were able to spend every last dollar and get most of our new home set up!  Jody was a trooper.  He had to dissasemble the dresser outside of the apartment and carry it upstairs to our bedroom piece by piece because his weakling of a wife couldn't quite make the trip. 

Sorry.  Some of us don't come with biceps.

That's beside the point, though.  Needless to say, we have most of our necessities, and are very comfortable.  It's nice to at least be trapped in a home during the days while Jody is at work, rather than the (very clean) man cave in which I arrived last weekend.  I like it here.

I really wanted to get out and do something last night since Jody had duty this weekend, so we walked around downtown Hampton a little and had dinner at a dockside-oyster-bar or something or another.  I tried my first oyster (pretty tasty!) and we sweated our way through dinner in the heat. 

A good friend sent me this cute apron and almost immediately Jody insisted I bake cookies. 

Well, if I have to.

Finished product!  They don't taste as good as Ma Sky's though.

Welcome to our... alright, my blog! 
 
Read and enjoy the stories from our miscellaneous collections and jumbles here in Virginia.  Hold your breath, because I'm holding mine!
 
Meanwhile, take a look at some photos I just uploaded from our time together in Billings with our families.
 

Fair time!  I thought I hated the fair, but this year Jody and I met a few of my friends there and I had a really good time.  I stood in line for the Zipper this year.  Didn't actually have to get on the ride, but I think I deserve some recognition for getting that far, right?

Bad Influence.  It's Jody's fault.

Schuyler (ish) gals at the rehearsal bbq. 

We were able to spend a night camping together before we left.  I'll call it my 'honeymoon' and it was perfect.  We relaxed, cooked together, did some exploring, and aside from our neighbor's warning about 'something rather large in the bushes', I'd say there were nearly zero mishaps.

What.  A.  Stud.
