Wedding, babies, and house hunting (oh my!)

Whew, can you believe it's been over a month since the wedding? I can't. Below are a handful of photos that I store from our photographer's website. If you want to go look, here's what 'cha do.

  1. Head over to http://www.jolieimages.com.
  2. Click, "View your Event."
  3. Search for "Schindler-Marx" under event name.
  4. Click "View Album"
  5. Enter your email address, and the password is 626. 

Beautiful night-time shot. Easily my favorite photo.
Having a blast with my nephew Chevy. 
Why yes, our cake toppers were Baymax from "Big Hero 6."
Our wedding party. Can you tell which one is my brother?
One of the 6 million pictures he took of our shoes. 
Peter and I went to Cedar Point after the wedding. We spent 2 days riding roller coasters, and by the end of day 2 we were so bored of them. We were literally 300+ feet up in the air and yawning while the people behind us screamed going up the hill before the first drop. Ultimately though, it was a really great, relaxing honeymoon. We stopped by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame before heading home. 

After the wedding, I stopped taking my birth control. So... that's been happening. We want to be pregnant by Christmas, though we're both pretty impatient and want to be pregnant NOW. I'll spare you the details. 

We're also house hunting! Tomorrow evening we'll be looking at 6 or 7 houses that are in our price range and aren't crap-shacks. We went last week too... but did I mention crap-shacks?! Because most of them were crap-shacks. We qualify for a government grant program for $7,500, which we don't have to pay back, so that's really been helpful. We're currently living with Peter's Grandpa (we've been there since late April) in Aurora while he transitions into a retirement home. He gets incredibly winded just by going up or down the stairs, and his eating habits are terrible. It's just time, he shouldn't be living alone anymore, and there needs to be someone to regulate his nutrition and to check up on him. He hasn't been sleep-walk-driving lately, so that's good. 

I really want to get back on a schedule with this blog. Give me a week to figure out what I'm going to be doing on which day. It'll be awesome.

  1. Aimeeeeee!! You looked absolutely beautiful in your wedding dress, and very happy! Peter looks very young, hahaha! I'm so glad you're happy, though, really, it's wonderful to see you smiling so much! :) And yay for trying for babies!! I wish you all the best in that. When I went off my birth control, it took my cycle almost a year to regulate itself, and I (thankfully now) was not able to get pregnant in that time, even though we'd been trying. Which doesn't mean that that will be your experience, just that it can take some time for your body to get its own groove back after you stop the pill. And good luck with the house hunting too!! I hope you guys find something awesome! :)

    1. I've been off of it since late June/early July. And I still haven't had a period. So I don't know what's wrong with me. I've heard it can take up to 3 months to have your first period after BC.... but I also know you can still get pregnant, even if your cycle is messed up. So... we've just been... diligent, lol.

  2. It seems that you guys have some busy days ahead, what with your baby plans and house hunting. And you are keeping a thorough schedule on the latter. Which is just about right, since you've got a lot of house viewings planned out. Six houses in an evening is quite a lot, but at least you'll have a wide range of choices for your new home. It is important that you really be a stickler for every single bit of detail, as far as that's concerned. Good luck, and have fun with all your plans!
