On November 29, 2009 David and I tied the knot at the Heard Museum in McKinney. It started off a pretty hectic day, it was raining pretty much the whole day. It didn't really start on time. I was having a breakdown when I heard the cake baker got stuck in traffic, but showed up right before the wedding started and set the cake up as guests arrived. I misplaced the veil, and went through the wedding without a veil. I'm so happy we took pictures, otherwise, I wouldn't remember most of the night, it really was a blur. I remember looking into his eyes as we went through the ceremony, I will never forget his frozen face, almost afraid he was going to faint. Me, with a painted on smile about ready to burst with happiness! Friends and family then had a good time, eating and mingling. I remember trying to say hi to everybody there, I wish there was more time in the night, but anyhow, it was our wedding, and I will never forget it. Then after the wedding, we stayed the night at the La Quinta nearby and opened our wedding gifts, got some Jack in the Box because that was the only thing open around, and enjoyed our first night as husband and wife.
Snow greets us in Oklahoma
Moving in!
Shortly after the wedding, we packed for the move to Oklahoma. His job had transfered him to the Oklahoma City area to work on a couple of jobs in the area. We found a place pretty quickly in Mustang, just southwest of Oklahoma City. I love this place! The area is quiet, a definite contrast to our previous apartment in Dallas! And we like the open area of Oklahoma. Dallas is really compact and Oklahoma City area is so spread out. This town of Mustang is only about 10 miles wide, I kind of like it that way. When we first moved here, there was a freak snow storm that had just blown through. You can see in the pictures above how high the snow actually got. So you can imagine this Texas girl who has NEVER driven in snow and ice for more than a day, try to get used to driving in it while moving back and forth from Dallas to Mustang about 4 or 5 times. Heh, lets just say I had to get used to it. I'm no longer scared of driving in ice! Haha!
But now that we are settled. Its an interesting feeling. The jobsite that he's supposed to be working on, has been delayed to March because of all this weather. It has snowed 3 times since we moved here. So he's been enjoying this mini "vacation" of sorts. I, on the other hand, am having more trouble finding a job here. I have yet to find a stable job. I have joined Avon, and that has given me an opportunity to get my name out to the community, some. I'm still starting out, though, so I only have a select few customers that order from me. But Avon is in no way my career, yet. I have been ordained as a minister, thanks to my reverend that married us, who is a dear friend of mine from the Morning News. She fed me the idea that it might get a little more money on the side, so I say, OK! I get ordained and now I can perform ceremonies. But that still isn't a steady paycheck. So now I have 2 side jobs but nothing to put them on the side of yet! I really hate the economy we are living in now. Everything is so expensive! Jobs are so hard to land! I'm a very qualified person for any customer service field, so why am I not getting any offers back? I hate admitting that I need to go back to school for a new career, but I have to because reality says a print graphic designer isn't needed in the job market of web designers. And even the web designer field isn't so hot right now. So do I want to go into a more stable career like Real estate? Strongly thought about it. Culinary? Would love it. Medical? Really would like to, but couldn't work with needles. So for now, I'm narrowing down a school to go to. Financial aid, here I come!
