I came into IAH on Thursday and drove up to Marlin to see my mom and Tim's new place... this is their rent house in downtown Marlin.... (Nolan was still in VA taking care of some medical tests for his flight contract... still no word yet; but all of the medical requests have been taken care of.. so time will tell)
Magic in her pen in the kitchen! I can't wait to get our Lab!
Friday Morning
After taking a look around the family ranch... I stopped for a picture with all of the dogs!
then rode Gray for a short while... (some cowgirl in windpants and my JLMS t-shirt, huh? haha)
Mom and I went to visit all of the horses in the back pasture on the four wheeler!
Next addition... all of the horses and cows!! :-)
*** Blogger won't upload pictures right now, so I'll have to try later ***
Friday evening was Stephanie and Justin's rehearsal and rehearsal dinner in Pearland... then I went to Stephanie's bachelorette party until I left to go get Nolan at IAH...
Saturday we girls got our hair done in Friendswood, then headed over to the church for the wedding... the Mass began at 2pm and the reception followed... Stephanie and Justin left around 8pm? and then we cleaned up the reception area...
Sunday morning Nolan and I attended church with Grandma McGee in Angleton, the church we were married in only 4 months ago! :-) After church we really wanted a nap, but I soon remembered that we were to meet with the photographer in downtown Houston!! BOO!! Thankfully we only got a little lost, making us about 10 minutes late...
On the note of wedding pictures... We had to leave the proof album with the photo guy, so that he could use those pictures to make our album by Christmas... SO... unfortunately anyone that wants to buy pictures (by December) from our wedding... here is how! :)

Moving on...
After we finished up with the photo guy we met up with my brother and his family and Grandma at my dad's for an early dinner (insert picture) Jayci (our niece) did cannon balls into the pool (insert picture)
Grandma locked her keys in her car, but Grant was able to us his truck's antennae to break in! :-)
<<<<<===== Back to the past two weeks or so
Nolan surprised me with a package... FOUR 1/2 gallons of Blue Bell Ice Cream!!! Whoop! We have shared with our fellow Texan Marines, but we are still working on our last two 1/2 gallons!
Three of my girlfriends and I hosted a "coffee" at the beginning of October; at a coffee Marine Corps spouses (it's all wives) meet for a snack (we provided various dips, sandwiches and drinks) and chat about a specific topic (this time was deployments) Overall, I think the coffee was a success, but a bit nerve racking, so we are glad to have gotten it out of the way! :-)
Nolan has been working on/learning about patrol orders, this evening they are out late practicing what they've learned... He is also now Platoon Sergeant for the next two weeks; I'm sure he is going to do a great job! :-)
I am still not subbing yet, but I'm not complaining, as it leaves lots of time for running various errands and making breakfast for Nolan at all hours of the morning (between 0330 - 0600), which I love doing! I am doing mostly SAT prep at Huntington from 4 - 8pm each night... It's a real bummer that sometimes Nolan will get home early (5 - 6pm) and I'm at work til 8! Oh well! :-) It is super nice though, that I leave out something to cook for dinner and Nolan will have it ready when I get home at 8:20, so we can then eat together! One night he made Chicken Cacciatore from SCRATCH! It was sooooooooo tasty and I think he had fun making something different! Oh and he had bought me flowers! :-) So very thoughtful! :-)
Okay this is getting VERY long, but all in all, life continues to be a blessing each and every day for us! We are so happy here, especially here together! :-)
Until next time... Peace!
