So it's been a while... The wedding went off with only a minor glitch with the cake.  All of the stress and anxiety was really all for nothing.  But I wouldn't be me if I didin't stress over these things.  Our apartment caught fire on December sixth.  Things were a little hectic for a few months.  Mike and I spent six weeks living with my parents, I am so grateful to have parents and family to support me. We moved into our new apartment in January and are finlly settled into our new way of life.  Things are a little different here as we have more space and a whole different set of problems.  Mike is still on swing shift, which I hate, but the fun part is his transportation issue.  I reallly need to get him driving more, but it is so hard with CNY weather  Our new thing is that we are trying to conceive.  That has been a little nerve wraking for me but I know that in the end it will all be worth it.   I really think that we'll be okay.  The fire was a huge test to our first few months of marriage, but I really think we came out okay.  I know that we sure look at things a lot differently know.  It is so easy to take the things we have for granted, but when all you have is gone, even just temporarily,, your perspective changes.  Even the bad days aren't so bad now when you look at the big picture.  We were fortunate that the only damage we took from the fire was smoke and that our insurance company took care of everything.   I am glad though that things have settled down now.  I am really looking forward to a new addition to our family.
