We bought a house today. Signed the papers, gave them every ounce of our money, gave them every important and personal number they could ever want and we could not be happier! :)

Blabbing
Well, I don't update that often because really we don't have much new:) We don't have kids or any pets...so we are kinda boring. We move in a week which is really exciting! Friday is the big closing day. :) Only a few more days in our little cottage which is good. It is nice to have an end to things. We have loved living there but are ready to move on, use our wedding gifts, decorate and "nest", or maybe that is just me...:) I wonder how much Evan really is excited about decorating:)
I am at work today and we are pretty slow. Which is a theme these days. I am glad for the healthy babies...but it makes my job pretty boring. It is sad to wish for sick babies...to all you mommies it sounds wrong. I know, us NICU nurses are a little odd.
What else is new? Well we have been garage saleing (which I still cannot figure out how to spell that word) and finding some good deals. And our thank yous from the wedding are almost done. So don't worry, I did not forget your gift:)
We finished all the harry potter movies up to date and are going to read the last book before it comes out.
Most recent awesome thing I have done: I returned some library books to the Johnson County Library that really belonged to our church library..so that was pretty cool... I am still trying to track them down. So if you go to the library and try to check out 'Christy', don't, or maybe just call me:)
There are a lot of movies out/coming out that I want to see: Holmes, the new Katherine heigl movie, New Moon(I know, I admitted it:), and the Time Travellers Wife.
So, next week if you are bored come over and help me unpack! In my new house!
Love you all,
The Wrights

July
Well it is almost mid July and that makes Evan and I so excited because we get our new house on the 31st! Life has been good...lots of working...wishing we could both stay home and never work again:) maybe we should start buying lottery tickets:)
I can't wait to get into our house, decorate, set up my kitchen and think about furniture ideas...
Not much else is going on, but I will make a list of the highlights from the Wrights so far:
*Lemon meringue pie
*Living in a cottage
*our new life group on Wednesday nights
*thinking about our new house
*getting really into the Harry Potter movies...we are on the 4th one:)
*Marko and Polo-the two dogs we house sit
*All our friends' new babies: Avery, Elli and Piper
*Smores in the microwave...sometimes we eat more than our share in one sitting:)
Life is sweet.:)

Our House!
Guess what? WE bought a house! Evan and I are homeowners!:) We are so excited to move in. We don't actually get the house until July 31, but we are getting closer!
Our first month of marriage has been wonderful. June 3 was a big day: our one month anniversary, the day we bought a house and the day we got our wedding pictures back! If anyone has not seen them you can go to gingerootphoto.com and click on proofs and then Evan and Michaela:)
Saturday is my birthday and I am so excited to spend the day with Evan. This is our first Saturday since we have been married that one of us is not working or has some big plans. So fun!
Well, I don't have a lot to say, but wanted to give an update.
Love you all!
Michaela

Married to Mr. Wright :)
Hello all! I am writing you for my first time as Mrs. Evan Wright! We are doing very well and are so happy! Our honeymoon was amazing. Evan surprised me and took me to the Dominican Republic for nine days. I highly recommend it! :) We are back to real life, back to work and looking for a house. Life is sweet and we are loving being married. The wedding was perfect to us and we have so many wonderful memories. We have the best friends and family that made this time so special. We cannot wait to get our pictures back to see all that happened that day that we missed-I think we were both in a happy daze:)
We love you all!
Love,
Evan and Michaela
We love you all!
Love,
Evan and Michaela

Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the King. 1 Peter 2:17
I am overwhelmed with excitement about being married to Michaela!
I'm ready and waiting with eager anticipation for our wedding day!
I'm very tired and ready for a vacation.
Lately, I think our lives have revolved around that one monumental day...May the 3rd. Two weekends ago I had my bachelor party with the boys and we packed and moved a bunch of Michaela's stuff in preparation for moving.
Last weekend Michaela had a bachelorette party and we had a couples shower in Wellsville and we packed and moved the rest of Michaela's things.
And this next weekend we have another couples shower and I'm packing and moving some of my things while Michaela is at work.
And all the weekdays in between are filled with long, busy workdays and RSVP cards or lack thereof and thinking a lot about being married and searching for the perfect ties for me & my merry men and writing thank you notes for our awesome gifts and looking at potential decoration arrangements and thinking a lot about being married and packing suitcases for leaving town after the wedding and talking with Mr. DJ, Miss Florist, Mrs. Photography and more. I think Michaela and I both have blurry vision right now because, the earth may be spinning on it's axis as normal, but the world we live in is spinning on a different axis at a much faster pace.
Three things keep us steady and grounded and wild with excitement.
1) Our love for each other grows every single day and I heard a sweet sappy country song that told me our love will grow exponentially so that we'll look back on this time and think about how we thought we loved each other so much, but it's only a small hint at the greater love we will share years from now.
2) Friends and family have been such a blessing. We have been amazed by people we don't even know offering help or lending what they have. And I look at our families and even extended family when we are with them and I think, "They are not mine anymore, and they are not hers anymore, this is OUR family."
3) Prayer. When I pray about the wedding or for our marriage, I’m always encouraged. Even when I feel like I’m not doing the fiancé thing correctly and I don’t know how to be a husband and head of a family, I still feel a calming presence and I keep hearing a truth spoken that doesn’t come from within me: “you are about to open up a vast expanse of possibilities; the best is yet to come.”
You stay classy bloggers. And thanks for stopping by.

25 days
Good morning. I haven't updated in a while and thought I would check in. We are down to final dress fittings, putting programs together and deciding on vows! I cannot believe it. When Evan asked me to marry him in October I thought May seemed so far off...and now it seems so close. :) Soon I will be Evans' wife, and I will have a husband. What a fun time of life!
