Our Life is a Whirlwind right now!

Good Evening! As I sit here tonight finally at my own computer I thank Grand View for finally getting my living room and kitchen painted. Tonight I was able to get 85% of the things put back together. Nick had to work at Hy-Vee from 6pm-11:30pm. He is now home and ironing his clothes for tomorrow. Things are starting to get busy here now as they are coming almost everyday to paint, sand and patch the walls in the apartment. The last several days have been pure chaos as the apartment has been in shambles. I think my sanity is slowly starting to come back as things begin getting back in order. I have issues with things being out of place. It is my OCD kicking in. I have been waiting and waiting for the wedding pictures to be posted by the photographer. I think I will e-mail her this week and see how much longer. Today, Nick and I have been married for exactly one month....It is even more amazing to be married. We truly enjoy each others company. This coming weekend we will be busy as it is check out week here at Grand View and Nick will be going through Graduation Commencement on Saturday. I will be posting pictures soon. God Bless

The Apartment is getting painted!

Good Evening! Well, I wanted to let you know that I had a crazy busy weekend dealing with residence life issues. The Roberts family on the other hand had a wonderful Easter. Nick and I spent the morning with his parents. He then had to work at 3:00pm at Hy-Vee. I have been working busily in the apartment all weekend to get things in order for the painters. Today that came in and covered all the holes in the walls. It is such a blessing to know that soon we will be able to hang things on the wall. It will look 100 times for homey. Nothing much is really going on. the semester is winding down and the students are getting wild.

Busy week!

Good Morning! Wow I can't believe that it has been almost five days since I last posted. I was trying to avoid that. Things have been crazy busy this week. I've been working 20-25 hours in the office at Grand View and then 20 hours a week at St. Theresa's School. When I come home i either have things to get ready for at Grand View or I nanny. Nick and I tried organizing the apartment a little better. While he was at work lastnnight I tore the entire bedroom apart vacuumed and deep cleaned. I also figured out how to take the closet doors off and but to shelves in the bottom and reorganized the bedroom closet to be more user friendly for short people like me. I then proceed to move the kitchen area around and finished when Nick arrived home. He was extremely excited that I had completed some much while he was away. The apartment is looking great and we can't wait to put some new pictures and things on the walls. Also yesterday the painters came in and began mudding and patching the holes in the walls. It will be awesome once we get the colors picked and put on the walls.
Today I got up after sleeping til 10:00am. I had a really long night lastnight doing Grad Assistant things and taking care of an issue on campus with another Grad Assistant and some of our Resident Assistants. Once I got out of bed I made the bed, opened the curtains and windows to let the sunshine and fresh air in. I proceeded to the kitchen to cook Nick breakfast. We ate breakfast together and then cleaned up...We both headed down stairs to start our laundry. We are trying to keep on top of things as we have a busy weekend ahead of us. I work at the school this afternoon, then nanny until 9pm. Nick works at Hy-vee today from 4-9pm and then will be home. Hopefully things will be quite around campus tonight. Tomorrow Nick and I have a few errands to run and then I have to nanny at 7Pm-1030pm. Nick has the night off and was thinking about doing something with his buddy Robert. Sunday we are going to 7am Easter mass and then out to brunch with Nick's parents. I hope everyone has a great Easter weekend. God Bless

A busy weekend but very productive!

Good Evening! Above you will find pictures of the bathroom, the new shower curtain is up, the rugs are laid, the new cabinets are up and it is finally finished. Nick and I worked evening Friday to get both cabinets put together. They have greatly improved our storage space in the apartment. You will also see that we finally got our bedding placed on the bed that we got as a wedding gift. We are very pleased that with how it goes with everything. We also have been diligently working to get over 200 thank you completed so that we may sen them in the mail tomorrow. We are super excited to say they are ready.... We both have been working and studying. He is studying for a life and health test and i am studying for my boards... Have a great week.

It's hard getting into the swing of things!

Good Morning! As you can see I have been slowly trying to get back into the swing of things. We had such a great time on our Honeymoon sleeping in and resting up that now my body kind of likes it. Over the last several days Nick and I have been working on all the Thank yous for everyone that sent a gift or came and celebrated with us. We are so grateful to have been blessed with awesome gifts. Our families have been amazing and we want to make sure that they all get thanked for their hard work. I've been working in the morning at Grand View and the early afternoon at St. Theresa's School. When I get home I have been trying to keep things cleaned and try to organize the apartment a little bit at a time. I believe that this is going to be a slow process. Nick has the day off tonight so i think we are going to have a night together. We haven't decided if we are going to the Bucs hockey game to see Robert or if we are going to chill and watch movies. I will be nannying tomorrow night and Nick has to work. Therefore we will not be seeing each other very much. Hope your having a great week.
Love,
The Roberts

More Photos from Wedding Weekend!

Rehearsal / Rehearsal Dinner (Below)

Good Morning! So I have been kicking myself because I haven't gotten on here very much to blog. It has been kind of crazy trying to get back in the swing of things here. I wanted to add some photos from the wedding rehearsal and the Rehearsal dinner. Everyone that I run into continues to congratulate Nick and I. It is exciting to finally be married. We are definitely enjoying married life right now. Lately we have been trying to organize the apartment. We brought a few presents back with us and it was like a tornado hit the apartment. I hate unpacking. Over the last couple of days we have been working on thank you and trying to get them done and ready to be sent out. It has been a great process. We are super thankful for everything that we have been blessed with during this special time in our lives. Over the next several days I will continue to add more photos that have gotten. I hope that you enjoy them as much as Nick and I have been. Thank you all
