Since the wedding we've been...

Ok, so its been almost a month since we were married ( http://mormon.org/learn/0,8672,1597-1,00.html) in the Newport Beach LDS Temple (http://mormon.org/learn/0,8672,1024-1,00.html) (more wedding pictures to follow) and a lot has gone on! We spent 4 lovely nights and 5 wonderful days in Big Bear, CA! We stayed in a cozy little place that was aptly named "Cozy Hollow Lodge". We had our own cabin with nature in the back yard, hunting prints on the bedding. It was great!!!
.

We spent most of our time in the little village up the road: shopping, eating, bowling, goofing off and we even went to the movies one night. It was quaint and really nice because it was the off season and there weren't that many people out and about.

but we did eventually get out in the wild and see...Trees...Rocks...Sticks...Empty beer cans...And dirt.

on our last day we kicked it into gear and rented a speedboat and went horse back riding. We even bought one of those wooden rustic looking signs that says "the Greens" that made us very happy.

we drove home listening to Harry potter and we thoroughly enjoyed it!

the last weekend of September we drove up to Utah for Blake's mission reunion, Quinn's 18th birthday and General conference (a meeting of the entire Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints, broadcast on TV, radio, and internet. Where we listen to talks given by the church leaders including the Prophet (http://mormon.org/learn/0,8672,1092-1,00.html) and the apostles) we stayed with Jillian and Kyle (Blake's sister and brother in law) and its always fun to hang out with them. Jill made Quinn a cake and we met Amber, Quinn's friend. . .Good times were had by all.

(could not get the cake to be upright no matter how we rotated it! But its a cool cake so it had to be posted)

since then the routine has been settling, which is a good thing. Blake goes to work everyday (except Sunday). And Paige goes to school every other day, is waiting to hear back about a job at the Yorba Linda School District daycare, and was just called to teach the 10 year olds in church.

we had to give up our cat, Belle Leigh Button, to Blake's parents until we move. The woman who owns the house we're "renting" is allergic so Belle can't stay here. But we'll take her back when we move... Although we don't think she'll want to come back to us....

ok, all. That's it for now! If theres something we left out or if you need our new mailing address or phone number (and we know who you are and wouldn't mind hearing from you) leave us a comment or email us at paigeandblake@gmail.com. Bye!
