Halfway There

One half of this couple has recently found employment. This is good news, seeing as until last Friday, 100% of this couple did not have jobs. Can you guess which one was successful? I'll give you a hint:

It was this half. I'll be teaching 2nd grade again as a long term/maybe/probably it will turn into all year long. One down, one more to go. Anybody have any ideas of jobs for geographers?

This was my first year going to the beach with the Harrison family. It was so fun! 

 We took some jumping pictures

 Tie-dyed for the first time

 and the end result looked awesome.

 We played in the pool

 and in the sand

learned some new games

 looked awesome in photos

 Had a glow stick dance party

 Learned how to write my name backwards

 Took a family photo

 Caught and held a (small) crab for the first time

 Attended a pretend wedding 

 Played bocci ball

 And had a good time!

Vacations for the Unemployed

Since getting married Andrew and I have enjoyed some leisure time due to our lack of jobs. We went to Puerto Vallarta for our honeymoon

And I got Andrew to smile for a few photes. Success!

We explored downtown Puerto Vallarta.

Survived the "longest and fastest" zip line adventure in the jungle.

And my first mule ride! Maybe I'll make it my preferred method of transportation.

Then we spent about a week at my parents house. My mom fiiiiinally got out her wedding dress so I could see it. It fits!

We both fit!

And then we lounged around watching tv in our finery.

We went down to Bend, OR for the weekend and stayed with the DeJongs

And saw the premiere of HP 7 pt 2. Because when you don't have a job, what else are you going to do?

I'm Mrs. Harrison now

Just out of the temple.

Paige=best friend/MOH ever. She did a fantastic job at telling me I looked awesome all day long, even when she was still half asleep.

The whole group at the temple.

My fav.

View from our reception.

My fav flower arrangement. It was behind the line.

Andrew=real good at jumping.

I can almost see Paige rolling her eyes.

Beautiful bridesmaids.

BFFs

Bridal Shower

Paige threw me a beautiful shower at La Jolla Groves restaurant. It was absolutely perfect.

Notice the berry trifles in champagne flutes. Paiger is extreme to the max. She made them. And the tulle bows on all the chairs. And the DELISH red velvet Sweet Tooth Fairy cupcakes for each guest. There's a reason she's my BFF and my MOH.

Guests. I've had lots of good times with these people.

Amelia and Lauren (freshman friends). I had to say goodbye to them yesterday and it was SO SAD. We lived together for yearrrrrs.

Pager44 and JJ. JJ was Paige's right hand man. Good work, girls!

Spring Break 2011

Our spring break '11 started in Atlanta, where we floated down the river on that giant tube.

Then onto a cruise ship. We were never without diet coke. Carnival lost money on us.

Paige: "What if I fall through the bar in my sleep? I bet I could fit through it."

Port at Cozumel

Paige and performed our best rendition yet of Total Eclipse of the Heart. It was so touching and powerful that the audience begged for multiple encores. You're welcome, Carnival Cruise Lines.

Living it up on our private island in Belize.

Roatan, Honduras. The sand flies became my enemies.

It was so windy up on the deck.

Captain's dinner

Back in Atlanta we visited the aquarium. Zach was an enthusiastic participant.

The happiest place on earth. I may or may not now be the proud owner of Diet Coke pajamas.

The Lockwood Manor from Vamp Diaries.

The Game Ranch was the highlight of spring break. Best white trash zoo ever.

Riding the deer.

"And remember, the midnight train always stops at Gladys Knight's Chicken and Waffles!"

Chick-fil-a Dwarf House. They put bacon in their dishes.

So happy in the mini door.

Scott was kind enough to give me a makeover. He was a skilled artist.
