UPDATE

Hey Everyone!

Just thought I would write to check in with everyone, especially since some exciting (and unexciting changes) have occurred that some of you may be unaware of! So here they are!

1.) I, Mallory, got my hair cut... finally! Ever since I chopped 12 inches off last year, a mere 3 weeks after getting married, I have been longing for my long beautiful hair. The good news is it is growing back and I just got a trim that will hopefull help it grow faster and longer than before. So my hair is almost back to where I like it

2.) Brent is well on his way to win a cruise for two! Icon rolled out and incentive which said that if you beat your best month average by five you recieve a fully paid for cruise for two. The problem is the cruise usually takes place in november- Febuary when we are just booked solid, so we are planning to cash out and take a trip of our own using, hopefully less money than they give us! Does anyone feel like Hawaii? Brent is over a third of the way done with 2 1/2 weeks to go! So we are getting pretty excited about that!

3.) Kaliah (our kitten) is getting pretty big and playful! I went out and bought a laser pointer, as one of my sales highly recommended it, and... it drives her CRAZY! Whenever she hears it click on she immediatly begins to look all around to find the dot. The first night we played a little to hard and she began to pant, which was pretty scary, and even brent got really worried about her! (He is a very big softy!) Now we use it in moderation and I just worry that she is obsessing over it, but I am sure that is me being overly protective. Oh the fun thing is it works with dogs too! Bax, Toren and Audrey's beagle, doesn't care for it much but Rook, Lee and Heathers bull dog, aboslutly loves it!

4.) My new computer is working wonderfully... ok this is old news for most people but I did get a new computer which works really well, and it is so much lighter and faster than my old computer I thought it deserved a shout out! What I like most about it is that it doesn't turn off unless I tell it too! Oh the wonders of the modern technology!

5.) Next big news, brent and I are going to be getting our own cell phone plan! Yes, afte ra year of marriage we thought it time to step up and start acting like real adults and everything, so we will be getting our own plan, which includes paying for it (the HUGE downside) We plan to do that in the next few weeks so be awaiting a text with out new numbers... my will probably stay the same because I have learned to love it so much!

6.) Finally, the last piece of big news, BRENT AND I HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR ALMOST A YEAR! Pending everything goes well for the next 11 days brent and I will have been married for a year (expect a wedding rememberance blog in 11 days) but here is the question I am asking all of you in my weekly poll... WHAT SHOULD WE DO FOR OUR 1 YEAR? I have posted some options so EVERYONE please answer I would love to hear what you all think!

Ok well I think that is all for today, but doing this has given me some great things to blog about in the future!

Love
Brent, Mallory and Kaliah

Could you please have brent win a trip for 4 so we can join you? Thanks Mal.

That's a big question. In tradition, it is the husband's responsibility to plan something. Keep in mind you are college students, so a nice dinner to a place you would never really go. I would say a nice get-a-way, but you may want to wait til you get back from Ohio.

Why can't you do it all? Mallory, you think to small.

I vote weekend getaway or camping trip...you don't get many of those once you start having kiddos. I had to laugh at the whole hair cut thing- I chopped my hair right after I got married and thought it was the end of the world. I still remember hiding from Jeremy in the bathroom sobbing. Why does every girl do that? Just remember how you felt because you'll have some crazy idea to do it again after you have a baby. Thanks for the update.
