Hey everyone! Meghan showed me her blog and I thought it was a great idea so here goes!
Let's see.......... Graham graduated in May of 2006 with a Mechanical Engineering Degree and got a job at Mueller company. That August we bought our first home, almost exactly 2 miles from both of our parents! Graham moved in and we started getting it ready for us to live in after we got married. It took ALOT.....the rooms were all painted some weird color, we had hunter green, yellow, red and orange, and light green with dark green trim. IT WAS A MESS. Slowly but surely we got it painted and added furniture. It wasn't my Dream house by any means but.......we were just starting out and I loved it! I graduated with my Finance degree that August and started working toward my Marketing degree. On October 14, 2006 all of my dreams came true, or at least up to that point in my life, Graham FINALLY married me. It was a wonderful day, i remember being so completely calm because I knew this is what I wanted with every bit of my heart. The next morning we left for our honeymoon. It was so wonderful. We flew into Boston, a place I had wanted to go since I was a little girl, rented a car and drove into Salem, MA. Now you have to remember this is Halloween time in a very spooky town, I loved it! There were ghost tours, and all of the Salem Witch Trails history it was definitely a cool place. There was also this hot dog place, oh my goodness I would fly up there right now to have one of these hot dogs!..............Anyway, what was so neat about our honeymoon was we only booked our airfare and the car rental. We knew we wanted to drive into Maine but we didn't have set times we had to be anywhere. So when we wanted to stay in Salem longer, we could. All we had to do was be back in Boston on Friday night to catch our plane! We spent Sunday and half of Monday in Salem, going through tours and looking at all the historic stuff. The we headed up to Maine. I started out taking a little nap and when I woke up I looked over at the gas gage and the LIGHT WAS ON!! We were in the middle of nowhere, Maine with no gas. I mean who is going to come help us out here???? Graham hadn't even noticed, what a goofball! Luckily there was an exit right up the road. That was a close one! We got as far as Portland and decided to spend the night. We got a hotel and started on a journey into downtown Portland. Wow, Portland is a big city! We got lost a couple of times, but we finally found a restaurant on a boat in the harbor. It was beautiful and to say the least we were not dressed for it. We had on sweaters and blue jeans and everyone else had on dresses and suits. Oh well were just the rednecks from Tennessee, lol. The next morning we decided to go to Freeport and do alittle shopping at the "outlet" stores. They WERE NOT outlets by any means but it was still fun to go to the LL BEAN store. It was getting late and we didn't want to be driving alot at night so we started making our way to Bar Harbor. Before Bar Harbor you go through a town called Bangor (this is where the University of Maine is). This is the town we were so close to moving to, to get our master's from UM, so we had to stop and look around alittle. It was a very cute town, the houses were old and all decorated for Halloween (everything up there was decorated for Halloween BIG TIME), a place that I would LOVE to live in. There were cute little white churches on every street corner and the trees.........oh the trees.........they were in full bloom and BEAUTIFUL. I would Highly recommend everyone driving up north to see the New England Fall, something you will never forget. We made it to Bar Harbor, found a hotel and headed into town to eat. Graham made me eat at this hole-in-the-wall place called "Chowders". It was wonderful though. We had clam chowder and lobster bisque. You haven't tasted either of these dishes until you do in Maine! Bar Harbor is on an island off of the Maine coast that is in Acadia National Park. We spent all day driving through the park taking pictures and just taking in all the wonderful things God has given us in this world. It was awesome, you had the mountains with the changing colors, that ended in the rocky coast of the Atlantic ocean. I have never seen beaches like that, where the waves were HUGE and they crashed into the rocks and sprayed 15 feet in the air. It was truly amazing to be there. It was a time in my life where everything was....PERFECT.. I had the hand of the love of my life and we were experiencing this together. We stopped at the lighthouses and we went to the end (or beginning) of the Appalachian trail. It was very neat. That night we dressed up and had dinner at a restaurant that overlooked the ocean. It was so neat you could see the lights of the fishing boats just off shore. It was very good, Graham got Maine Lobster and I did try it but it was not my taste in food. The next day we drove back down to Salem because we loved it so much we wanted to spend some more time there. Then we went into Boston on the last day. Boston was pretty neat but very confusing and there was construction on every corner. We did see the real Cheers bar and the where the Boston Tea Party was.
Our Honeymoon was so amazing every day there was a new adventure to have. We will do alot more traveling like that, without an agenda.
The next couple of months were normal newly weds stuff. We got adjusted to living together (not so easy). Graham does so many things that drive me CRAZY! as all husbands do. He doesn't know what a dishwasher is, he thinks the dishes get out of the sink and into the dishwasher theirselves. He has a real problem folding and putting up his clothes, and it's really hard for him to fill up the Crystal Light pitcher when he drinks the last bit. But all of these things are Graham, and I love him completely so I have to love all the things he does.
