Kansas City, MO

So a few weeks ago, the Nugent family went to Kansas City, MO for a Folsom (that's my mother in law's maiden name) wedding. So basically, Nuge's cousin Bobby got married.

To recap the weekend: flew from DFW to KCI on Saturday (the day of the wedding). All of our bags were checked, but only one of Jan and Kevin's bags got lost somewhere in the travel. So they had to make a nice trip to Kohl's for some wedding attire. Not a really good start. It also snowed 4-5 inches the night before we got there, so when we landed, we were greeted by a nice blanket of snow.

We got to our hotel, hung out for a few hours and then left for the wedding. It was really nice and elegant. On Sunday, we went home...end of weekend. Other than that, not too much else has been going on, which is why I haven't been updating. Below are some pictures for your enjoyment.

I love his look...those are his parents too...

I think Michael had the same look on his face while he was standing up at our wedding...

Too cute...

When we landed...

Nuge started working some different hours. They aren't his permanent ones just yet, but they sure are different. For the next 6-8 weeks, he'll be going through training on the first shift. First shifts starts a lot earlier than he's used to, so he now has to be up at work between 6-6:30 am every day. Good thing about that, he gets off earlier, but bedtime is earlier. These past 2 nights haven't been all that great, but we'll get used to it. It sure will be nice when he goes on 2nd shift!

I haven't been getting many jobs this month, but that's to be expected. It was TAKS testing earlier and then Spring Break, so I'm not really expecting much. We'll be going to the lake over the weekends of spring break, but because Nuge has work, we won't be doing much else.

My grandparents moved up here and are getting settled in their new home. So far, they seem to be doing ok. I think they miss the golf course view though. For the most part, it has been an awesome few weeks and I have no complaints. I love my job, I love my husband, I love my family, and I love my Lord. All of which have brought much joy to my life.

God has been truly awesome and has majorly blessed us in ways that can't even be described. He has shown His love and mercies to us, sinners, and we are forever grateful. Through His strength and power, Nuge and I have grown closer...if that is even possible...and God continues to amaze us every single day.
