Married!

I have been such a delinquent blogger the last six months it's not even funny.  But I did get through tax season, packed up my house in AZ and moved to ND, and got married between the two.  Woo hoo!  The wedding and move went perfectly and I am slowly getting settled in ND.  So many things to change and get set up, but I am slowly working through the list of to do's.  I think I will be done about December 31st lol.  I hope so anyway!  Oh, and my new hubby is using his web and IT skills to help me start an online quilt shop out of our home.  The initial fabric shipment arrived this week, so I must get to that too.  But that will be fun work and I am very excited about it.  We hope to have the shop up and running by Sept 1.

Given the list of to do's, this post will be short, but I wanted to check in and let you all know that I am still alive and to post a few pics from the wedding.  It was a truly fabulous day and we had such a good time :-).  And having our families there with us was an added bonus that we didn't expect when we originally decided to get married in Sedona.  Also, I want to point out that these are all amateur shots taken by family that were at the wedding and the first two were taken by Scott's sons - the 9 year old took the first one and the 11 year old took the second one.  They got some great shots!

My guys all waiting for me to arrive:

What I've Done This Past Week

Scott and I flew back from ND on the 30th.  Since then, I've bought this to accommodate my new expanding family:



I've sold this:

I drove to Tucson to select and buy this:



And we spent a day in Sedona meeting with the minister and selecting this area for our wedding site.  We will get married in June on this little beach right along Oak Creek.

And then I took a nap all day yesterday.  Not really, but I wish I had because I'm exhausted!  I certainly haven't been quilting, but I did wash all the new fabric I had acquired over the last month or so and did manage to get unpacked from the trip by the time I had been home for 4 days.
