Sorry about the last post. I deleted it. I got an iphone and downloaded an app that was supposed to post pics straight to blogger. Apparently I have to get Picasa or something...I'll be workin on that. Then I will actually blog a little more.

The wedding is over now. It was more perfect that I could have hoped for. I'm in love with our ceremony. I didn't want a videographer cause I just knew everything was gonna fall apart. I mean Leah even called on her way up to the rehearsal dinner to ask the name of the song she was playing, so she could learn it. lol. We took a chance and used non-traditional music. It was perfect! Leah said out of the 14 weddings she's been involved in, we had the coolest music. That was probably the best compliment I received. Not only cause it came from an awesome rock star like her, but because music means alot to me. Why do you think I love Nashville?? And NO, I don't mean country music! lol! 

So I'm married now. Weird, huh.
Actually, ya know, it's not weird at all. Everyone kept telling me married life is such a big adjustment. It really wasn't at all. It feels completely natural. I guess it helps that I have an amazing husband. I'm really not sure how I made it without seeing him everyday before. Actually as I type this he is in Birmingham for his job....that's why I have a little computer time! And I miss him, ALOT! He's got a pretty sweet deal now. He gets to work from home. I'm overcome with jealousy. But luckily I like my job. 
So about my job...I got a call a few weeks before I was leaving the firm for an interview with HCA. In college we had to do some lame assignment about a dream job with a Fortune 100 company. I picked to be a CFO of HCA (Hospital Corporation of America) in Nashville. So after learning about the company, I decided to apply for a position there. I got a job with the firm in Huntsville and never thought much about it.  Well apparently my application was generated in the system a year and half later...perfect! I interviewed for an accountant position with the Imaging and Oncology Division. On my last day at the firm, I got a job offer. How perfect was that? I had three weeks off to finish wedding stuff, go on the honeymoon (which was amazing!!) and the last week to get things together here in Nashville. Then back to work! On my second day of work I flew to New Orleans. Talk about getting to know your new co-workers! God is so faithful. He is too good to me. He is my faithful provider.

Ummm not sure what else to write about....I'm currently watching Shawn Johnson win the gold medal. Olympics are my favorite! Why can't we have them every year???

Things I'm looking forward to:
August 23 - Celebrating Jason's 24th birthday with both sets of parents and siblings at the river!
August 24 - Jason proposed a year ago.
August 30 - My sweet little sister turns 17, more celebrating at the river!
September 1 - Labor Day! I don't have to work!!!!
September 15 - OAR and Matt Wertz @ The Ryman....5th row tickets! heck yeah!
September 20 - My bestest cousin gets married and I get my first go run as bridesmaid.
September 26-28 - Big Spring Jam
October 5 - Auburn @ Vandy. War Eagle!!

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!

For some reason I felt compelled to post an update.

I survived "busy season" as an auditor. And just as soon as I thought I'd have some free time....WEDDING FESTIVITIES BEGIN!!! I have 3 showers next week. Not to mention I have to actually pick up where I left off on the wedding planning. Needless to say, it kind of fell to the wayside Jan-now. Woops. I think we'll make it though. Just 46 more days and I can relax on the beaches of Riviera Maya, Mexico. I'm so excited!! Check out our awesome resort! Let me just add that I have not enjoyed planning a wedding at all. I knew I should've trusted my instincts and eloped. Then again, I'm not one of those girls that has had her wedding day planned out since she was 8. Heck, just 3 years ago I was claiming that I was NEVER getting married. Funny how a certain someone can change things.

I'm getting really excited about moving to Nashville. I've always said that's where I was moving, but then after college, I just accepted the first job offer in Huntsville. Then I decided that I loved working there and was not moving to Nashville for Jason without a fight! I still love where I work. I absolutely love the people and it's been good experience. I just think it's time to move on. And Nashville will be perfect! I will never have to miss a concert on a weeknight again!! I can listen to live music every night my little heart desires!

Speaking of which, I had my first and second "celebrity sighting" in Nashville this weekend. Well not including that one time we saw all of the members of Relient K sitting around the table in Matt Hoopes kitchen -- but that was more like "celebrity stalking" so we don't count it. ;) But FINALLY! I WOULD be the one to never see anyone famous. I mean we were in freaking LA (I always thought that was a guaranteed celeb sighting) and never saw a single celebrity!! Anyway, Dave Barnes - in the flesh - was sitting 15 feet away from us at Pei Wei in Green Hills. I was so close to asking him how much he'd charge to sing at our wedding. Either that or complain that I pre-ordered his new CD (came out on April 1) and STILL have not received it!!!! So much for trying to be a supportive fan! Instead....I left him alone like a good Nashvillian. After that, we were shopping around the Green Hills mall and walked right past Dan Haseltine (from Jars of Clay). I gasped, nudged Jason, Ole Dan made eye contact with me, I got embarrassed. He was probably surprised that anyone would actually recognize him. No one gets past me!! haha.

Ummm. I guess that's about all I have that's blog worthy right now. I really am going to try to start writing more. Then when I get married me and Jason will probably start a "cool" blog about "The Mays". We try to pretend like we'll have something interesting to write about when in actuality it will probably just be pictures of the dog we will be getting. Ta-ta for now.
