once again, slacking on the blog.

So it seems I only update once in a blue moon, and it seems I am not going to change.  :)

Since the last post in June we are married!  The day was beautiful and went off without a hitch, except that the ceremony wasn't recorded, huge sad face at this.  I guess it is my fault because I didn't want to pay anyone to tape it for us professionally.  I instead had someone from the church set up a video camera on the balcony so the most important parts would be seen (vows, unity candle,etc.).  Problem: the guy that set up the camera did not tell the guy at the sound board that it was indeed hooked up so he did not start the recording so we don't have a video.  Oh well, if that is the worst thing that could have happened on that day, I am completely ok.
Pictures from our big day:

We have been married 4 months now! It is hard to believe that I have been his wife for that long already.  Although not much really changed with our relationship because we have been together almost 7 years and lived together a year and a half before the big day. The only thing we seem to struggle with is our time spent together and making it count. He works as a correctional officer at the prison in our town, which in the economy is a great job with great benefits.  We do not take that for granted at all. What does suck is that he is low man on the pole and started at 1st shift and is now on 3rd shift.  He goes to work at 10:30pm and is home at 7am. I go to work at 10:30am and am off at 6:30pm (this shift will only last until the find someone permanent for this area of the clinic).  Anywho, the problem: it seems that when we are both home and awake at the same time he is either watching tv or on the computer. We can't seem to figure out how to spend good, quality time together (aka, what to do with our time together).  I am not sure how to fix this issue.  Another issue, on his days off (Tuesday and Wednesday) he spends the day hanging out with his guy friends and then comes home and watches tv or is on the computer. Wednesday night is poker night so I don't seem him after 8pm.......

To try to fix this growing problem I have officially declared Tuesday nights as "our" night. He is to stay home and we are to spend time together as husband and wife, no tv or computer.  Any other ideas on how to share our time together??
