Thankful

Thankful does not even begin to describe how we feel this time of year! We have been so blessed and cannot express how grateful we are. Just to name a few … We are grateful for each other, there is nothing better than being married to your best friend. For our wonderful families, and the support they have given us throughout our lives. We are thankful for our friends, who are the family we have chosen for ourselves. For our health and happiness. And above all we are thankful for the way the Lord works every day in our lives, we would be nothing with out Him. God is Good, every day!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Love the Scotts

(Amar, Jenny and Koda)

Building a Home

I just got back from my trip to Indianapolis. I had a wonderful trip, and it was so great to spend time with Amar! My mom was able to come with me and it was nice for her to see where our future home will be. We arrived Saturday afternoon. The first thing we did was go see our new house. Sunday we took Amar to work and he showed us a few of Fischer's model homes. My mom and I spent the rest of the day shopping, before picked Amar up from work. We went to dinner Sunday with our friends Nick and Jessie, who are also building a home in Indianapolis… right next door. We spent our Halloween looking at furniture to get ideas for our house, and then handed out candy to the trick-or-treaters. What better way to spend Halloween night than wine and scary movies. Amar, Nick, Jessie and I watched Paranormal Activity 2 and then went to see 3 in theaters. They were so scary!! We had such a great time together and hopefully it won't be too long until our next visit.

Staying Busy

It has been almost 2 weeks since Amar left and I'll start with how everything in Indianapolis is going! His first day of work was Wednesday the 12th, and so far LOVES it! He is training with a woman named Megan, who is one of Fischer's top sellers, which is going to be fabulous! He works 11am to 6pm, Wednesday through Sunday… SOOOO much better than his hours at AT&T :-) Hopefully he will fly through training and be able to start selling on his own soon!

Amar's cousin has been so kind to open their home to him for the time being! They have an extra room and it has been great for him to be with family! I know their two kids love having Uncle Amar around also :-)

We are working on getting approved for a loan so Amar can move into our house with me joining him in a few months!

As for me, I am trying to stay as busy as possible!! I am also loving this fall weather, and making the most of it before winter hits! Last week I was off Friday so my best friend, Jenna, her daughter, Hallie (my God-daughter), and I went to the Kansas City Zoo! We had a blast. The weather was perfect and we spent almost the whole day there! This Friday I took Liam, to Writer's Walk at Shawnee Mission West. Liam's mom (my aunt), Annie is an English teacher and puts on an event for creative writing every year… I'm pretty sure if I had her as a teacher I would not have hated English so much :-)

Good news is a week from today I will be on a plane to Indiana!! We are both sooo excited!

One Month

Today we have been married for One Month!! It is very exciting and we celebrated last night by going to our favorite restaurant, McCormick and Schmick's!! Friday night we went to the haunted houses with my cousins, Michael and Leah! It was a blast :-) I love Fall!

Amar moved to Indianapolis today. I will be joining him after the school year. It is going to be very different and I'm sure pretty hard, but it is what is best for our future! I have booked a trip to see him at the end of October. Hopefully we will be able to have a few trips every month to see each other.

I will keep you posted on how it goes!

Getting Ready for the big day :-)

Amar and I got four hotel rooms Friday night for the wedding party. I had two rooms and Amar had two rooms. It was really fun to spend Friday night together and get ready for the wedding at the hotel. My friend Kara came to the hotel to do hair, and Hanna came to do makeup!

Hello Again!

Hello friends! We have been so busy the last few weeks. The wedding is finally over, and we are able to just enjoy being husband and wife! I have so many photos to post so this post will be short! Thank you to everyone to joined us to celebrate our new life together, we love you all!! Enjoy the pictures :-)

My Last Fling Before The RING!!!

Let me start by saying that I have the BEST FRIENDS anyone can ask for! This weekend five of my very best friends and I went to Beaver Lake in Arkansas to celebrate my bachelorette party. Kaleigh's parents have a great house on the lake and they were nice enough to let us have it for the weekend. Kaleigh, Jenna and I drove down Friday morning; it is about a 3 hour drive, not to bad!

Kaleigh was nice enough to drive all weekend, but only Jenna was conceded about watching the road!

The view was amazing; you can see a little bit of the dock :-)

Kaleigh, Jenna and I got the jet skis out for a little while, before it started raining. We went into town and had drinks and dinner. Lizzie, Kirsten and Britney got in around 10. We had a great time just hanging out and being silly. Saturday morning we spent on the dock laying out. All 6 of us took the jet skis out, and had a BLAST! Afterwards we went into town again. It is a cute little lake town with a lot of great shops. We got an old time picture taken, which I love doing! Then had snack: funnel cakes, fried oreos and pretzels! Soooo good! We got back to the cabin and the party started.... :-)

All of us on the dock.

Lizzie, Kirsten and I got masks at one the shops!

Great friends!
