Three weeks

Nate:

Well, after three weeks of marriage, I still love it. Our apartment is slowly getting unpacked, something that has been hampered by the crazy schedule we find ourselves in. I am always a little surprised when I find myself this busy. It sneaks up on me all the time; I just keep adding things until I realize that I'm swamped, and now I'm dragging Hope along with me on that. Oh well, it'll taper off eventually. Until it does, our house might maintain a slight level of clutter, but it's going well right now.

We'll be headed to Mount Vernon this week for the fourth, and I am positively giddy with excitement. I haven't been there since Christmas, and the fact that we will be driving there gets me even more excited, since I love road tripping. We'll hit the road on Wednesday afternoon. Can't wait.

It's true that after a long break from blogging, it's hard to think of anything else to say. I'll hand it off to Hope, and she can fill you in on some details.

Nate forgot to mention that not only does his still love being married, he still loves me...and I, him. :o) We're pretty good at being married! If you need any tips, just as us.

This week we got our new Kansas driver's licenses and plates. It was a very fine experience. The people were so helpful. One snafu: we got lost on the way to getting our KS "inspection." They had a nice, little directions sheet. It was very precise. Only one left and one right. How could we go wrong? She told us it was only about 2 miles away, so we had high hopes. The first direction said "Take a left onto Lamar." We took a left out of the parking lot and before we realized that we weren't "on Lamar" we didn't know where we were. It took us about 10 minutes to get our barrings, but found the inspection location and got back to the plates place in short order. One thing to know is that if you are getting a driver's license in Kansas, you won't really get the piece of plastic for a few weeks. We went away with a receipt that had our license information and picture on it as proof of our ability to drive legally. So, let's hope there aren't any strong gusts of wind when we're showing off our licenses. :o)

At the moment, that's all I gots. Keep enjoying your summer!
