| I've moved! Not physically but in cyberspace. Brian and I have been posting semi-regularly on our blog formerly known as our wedding blog. Mostly it's family and a few Austin friends who read it. Come by and say hi!

| Just a quick post to let y'all know that I've been making more changes this year than just getting married. I've gotten a few new jobs and I'm training for a marathon! First, about the jobs. I have a couple of part-time gigs, one that's more or less for some friends to help them out with their side business and the other as a weigh-in receptionist with Weight Watchers. I just started my on-the-job training with WW yesterday, and there's a lot of administrative work involved that I never knew about! If you've ever been to a WW meeting, you know who these receptionists are, and I also suspect that you have no idea how much they do behind the scenes! Anyway, it's fun and different and encourages me to maintain my goal weight. The BIGGEST job change, though, is that I'm leaving my current full-time employer (where I've worked for more than 8 years!) as of the 21st and starting work at a big ol' local university on October 1. I'll be on staff there, and I'll get to enjoy lots of perks as a staff member (good parking not being one of them, but I'll survive). Very exciting!
As for the marathon, I did 3 half-marathons last winter, so now that it's time to start training again, I thought I'd give the marathon a shot. I'm laughably slow, though, so I might get bored and drop down to half-marathon distance during the course of the training season. I'm one of those folks who's just out to finish, not compete. I like the finisher's medal and sense of accomplishment that comes from finishing an endurance event like a half-marathon or triathlon. I want to push myself farther this season and see what I can handle. And I'm ok with it if I can't handle the whole marathon. A half-marathon is a whole race, after all.

According to the app, I've visited 25 (or 49%) states. I think it's 49% b/c it counts DC as a state.

| Today we celebrate one month of wedded bliss! Though it's mostly been a month of hard work and illness on the part of the hubster (his group has been super-busy this past month and then he came down with a cold) and recovering from wedding planning on my part. We're excited to take a break and go on our honeymoon in a couple of weeks...anyone got any recommendations for our trip to Maui?
