Well, I have lots to catch up on for our blog....but I have been waiting to find my camera card!! Just when I was getting on a role in updating my blog (haha), I lose my camera card. So, until then, I will just have to describe what's been going on. Last week we bought a tent and set it up in our living room. No, we didn't sleep in it, we just wanted to see how big it was. Let's just say it was a little bigger than expected. It pretty much filled our whole living room and of course was set up in the middle of our house for two days. We bought the tent in preparation for our camping trip this weekend. Mike and I bought each other early birthday presents....BIKES! We plan to go on two weekend camping and road biking trips for our birthdays! We've gotten to ride our bikes twice in preparation for our trip so far, and Mike has already gotten a flat on his. He is currently trying to repair it. Let's just say we better not get flats on our bike rides this weekend because they are quite a project to fix. Today I went to the hospital to visit my girlfriend who just had her baby. She is actually about 2 weeks early but everything went great and she was more than happy to have the baby early. She actually named him Ethan, which is my nephew's name...so that was pretty exciting. It also got me VERY excited for the arrival of my new niece -in-law here in the next couple of weeks. I can't wait. Well, looks like we may be headed out on a quick bike ride before my bible study. Mike was successful in fixing the tire : ). More later!

Apparently the remodel is back in progress. Back to microwaveable meals and plasticwear!
Our dining room table in our living room. Nice : )


The rest of our dining room set covered in plastic...thankfully. And paper floors!


Our kitchen. The spackle (I have no idea what that is or how to spell it) guy comes tomorrow.
Yay for our house back to being on it's way to being done!

So it's catch up time...so we can actually start using our site as a daily/weekly blog site! Yes we are married now and are officially the Coxs! On our way to our own wedding, we went to 5 throughout the summer:The Parlettes
The Zittles
The Barkleys
The Fryes
And I guess no pictures at the Shaw wedding.

Then came our own!!!!! First came our rehearsal luncheon. We are so thankful for Mike's parents hosting our rehearsal cookout at their home! It was a beautiful day and was tons of fun to get to hangout with close family and friends before the big day. Mike's cousin and brother decided to honor Mike...and me by giving him a ball and chain. Real nice : )


Then the actual day came. Everything went better than we could have ever imagined! It never would have worked out so well without all of our family and friends. We are so thankful for them and all their hard work they put into our day to make it even more special.

What a wonderful day...worth all the planning and hard work....we never could have asked for anything different.

Then off to Cabo Mexico for the honeymoon!



PINK GOOSES!!!!Andddd....now we're back to reality.
It hasn't been so bad....we love married life. Love love love it. Except all the laundry : ).
Everything else seems to be going well, we are getting used to living together and making our home function together. We haven't quite started back up on the remodel, but word is it will be starting up this week! So look forward to some more picture updates. Mike is getting back into the swing of things with his job....but I'm not. I WANT A NEW JOB! I really need a change and I think both of us are feeling it. Please pray for endurance for me when I go to work and can't imagine how I'm going to get through my 12 hour shift, and pray for guidance and motivation to find something I DO want to do.

This past weekend we were so excited to go visit my sister and her husband....only TWO HOURS AWAY! This is the closest I have had any family live to me in 8 years, so I am very excited. We got to see their apartment, visit with Teddy, Stacy, Zach, and baby Whalen girl, and we got to see their new home!! It is beautiful and we can't wait to come visit in their new home. We're so excited to meet baby Whalen girl too.

The move

So I heard that our blog site has been threatened to be shut down since there hasn't been any new posts since December! So in order to keep Mike's Dad from shutting us down, I have decided to finally add to it. I guess all of my family's blog sites have encouraged me to add to it too....so many posts and pictures and comments and support on all my family's sites. It's great! Maybe it also has to do with the fact that tomorrow is the first day of my half of Mike and I's move to our new house...and I'm just not very good with change. And I can't sleep. And I might add that it's 145am and Mike, his mom and dad, and his cousin Josh will be here at 730am to move me. I have moved every year for the past 4 years....and if you count college that would be every year for the past 8 years. Moving so much growing up you think I would be used to it at this point...but I guess I'm just the opposite. I don't really adjust well and with so many new things happening this summer there are going to be some huge adjustments! Moving makes me think of memories, and think of family and how I miss mine so much...and how I'm so blessed to have a new family here in Baltimore with Mike and his family. Moving from this apartment makes me think of how Mike and I got to know each other and happy we are together and how we've been assured through prayer that we are supposed to be together. Moving makes me think of how much I've grown since living here in Baltimore for the last 4 years and how even though I've grown a ton I still get scared at night sometimes...kinda like I am right now. And how no one is awake to talk to except Mike's brother and sister in Cambodia...who I think called a little bit ago and I missed their call! : (. Well anyways, moving most of all makes me excited for the future and everything God has in store for us which is probably the main reason I can't sleep...because I'm so excited! So in the meantime I will update you on a few pictures of what's happened over the last 5 months.














Visiting my VT with my girlfriends. So glad it's not that cold anymore.














Mike, Jacqui and I being crazy for her birthday.















Mike taking out my bags and bags of trash with his manly man muscles....and yes, all that trash was in my house. I know...I'm gross.

Well that's all for now...hopefully we will be posting sooner than in 5 more months!

THE ENGAGEMENT

December 20th 2007, it was a cool and clear evening in Baltimore city when Megan and Mike went out for a romantic night on the town. It started out that we were to get dressed up nice and go to see the Christmas lights of hamden and then have dinner and dessert. Of course no one is suprised to hear that we did not get to see the Christmas lights because someone was no ready on time. That reminds me of my favorite song since I met Megan (waiting on a woman). When Megan was finally ready she looked so beautiful that it was well worth the wait. We went and had a lovely dinner at ruth's chris steakhouse with our very own Christmas tree right by our table. The service was excellent the food was incredible but the company was by far the best. I wasn't as nervous as I was excited to get to tell Megan again how much I love and care for her. When dinner was over we walked out and went to the end of the pier over looking the harbor. We then proceeded to break and enter into a lighthouse climb to the top and then the rest was just for Megan to hear. I proposed Megan accepted and the rest is history. This concludes one of the best nights of my life with the girl who has become my very best friend. And now my fiance
