life update.

Lots of things going on lately. Herman's back went out earlier this year, I've been switching departments and schedules at work, saving for various expenses, getting paperwork together to start school once more, and I had a bout with vertigo a few months ago.

Herman's back is slowly improving day by day, and he's scheduled to start doing physiotherapy to help strengthen the muscles that have been bothering him. He sometimes goes several days without complaining of the pain so it seems to be getting better as time goes on; hopefully the therapy will make it even better.

My vertigo is mostly gone as well - I feel it from time to time - but its pretty rare that it's a problem anymore. It's usually when I'm very tired or stressed out, but according to the doctors, it's pretty normal.

Hermy and I have been saving and buying things we've been needing/wanting as well. Just today we bought a Miele vacuum cleaner, easily one of the best out there. This bodes well for both of our allergy problems and GOODNESS our carpet is clean. We also went out for a nice dinner this evening, as a Christmas treat from Line, someone in Herman's family.

I've registered for a few classes at Collin College, better known as Quad C, so that I can start working towards my Computer Science degree. I should be starting in January of 2012, so I'm pretty excited about that too.

Also, I'm been playing the hell out of Skyrim for the past month and a half, and yes, it's just as amazing as everyone says it is. So play it.

Life update, short and sweet. I'm going to go back to watching 24 with the hubbs.

wedding party.

As promised, wedding photos. We had our legal wedding ceremony on January 6th of this year, and we had a bigger party on March 8th when the weather was nice and we could plan it. Here are some of the resulting photos, again taken by our lovely friend Lindsay.

The cake.

This was a small portion of the actual number of photos taken, but I figured I'd keep it fairly quick. Hooray parties and food and friends and family!

engagement photos, a little too late.

So, more pictures.

Our brilliant photographer friend Lindsay took my bridal photos, Herman and I's engagement photos, and our wedding party photos. Here's a few of our more favorite engagement photos.

All photos are set in Deep Ellum, in downtown Dallas. 

I'll put up photos of the actual wedding party shortly. There's a lot of them.

let's go back in time...

So, I have a bazillion pictures on my computer from the time Herman arrived in the states this last time to now which should've been put up here long before this point in time. For shame, but it's okay! For I will bring these outdated picture to you. For this post in particular - Christmastime, 2010. Enjoy!

He's so happy!

So that's all for the moment. I am about to fall over I'm so tired, so good night and I will try and update more tomorrow.
