Maybe this one will stick...

I found that I haven't been good at keeping up a blog on myspace. All of the "bloggers" there are all about the "pitty me"s and that isn't what I am about. I love that Landon and Shirl have these to keep people updated about their weddings or their married life so I thought that this is a good idea to steal. So maybe I will actually keep this one up!

Jonathan and I have been married for about 7 months come the 8th of July. It doesn't seem that different or new for us. There are a few more slightly heated arguments then normal. But for the most part we just live together now. People always ask what we learned about each other, and the truth is we have learned very little. We already knew so much about each other from dating so long it was an easy transition. Let me tell you a little bit about the both of us:

Jonathan

He was born on August 16th, 1985. In high school he played football and threw for the track and field team. He then went on to college at Lewis and Clark and played for the football team there. They weren't very good but it kept Jonathan busy. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics. He thuroughly enjoys playing the Wii, napping, and beer. He is currently a financial advisor with Wadell and Reed and hopefully going back to Costco to earn a bit more cash on the side.

Laurie:

She was born May 6, 1985 (that is right folks she is OLDER). In high school she played flute in band and marched with the colorguard. She was also in choir and track and field. After graduating she was invited back to coach the colorguard under the direction of Ron Barnett and the guidance of Shirlyn Bauer. She went to PCC and earned her Associate of Arts degree and transferred to PSU to earn her Bachelor of Science in Psychology. She now works as the Director of the Colorguard program at Westview and as an Instructional Assistant at Ridgewood Elementary School and as a server at the Old Spaghetti Factory (YUM!) She enjoys napping, and watching So You Think You Can Dance, the Baby Borrowers, Wife Swap, and Hells Kitchen (Jonathan loves that one too!)

That is us! Here is how we happen to be married:

Most people would not even put a band geek and a jock together in high school, but alas here we are. We started dating in February of our senior year. We met each other during tack and field winter conditioning. We really got to talking when Kim bailed at one practice. Both of us had just gotten out of year+ relationships and weren't really looking for anyone to be with. Jonathan (with much encouragement from Keinan and Kessler) asked Laurie out while walking her to a bus stop. Our first date was at Nona Amelias and we hit it off. The rest is history...

Alright I think that does it for now. Have a good day!
