Now we come to the How. How will be best described with the few pictures I'll attach with this narrative. The short version is this; in the short span of about 3 months, we were engaged and married, had two wedding receptions (one in WA pre-wedding and the other in Utah post-wedding), moved out of our apartments to my parents' house, moved to a new apartment in Saint Louis Missouri, and started medical school.
Needless to say we are just now getting into some semblance of a routine.
We have already hosted Ryan and Brianna here on their way out to Fort Bragg where Ryan is now stationed. We also hosted James Setterberg on his way out to Utah to reunite with his fiancé. We toured Busch Stadium where the St. Louis Cardinals play and even saw good ole Albert Pujols during a pre-game batting practice. After we went and toured the famous Gateway Arch.
Holly got a job at the local Subway working part time while she studies for her licensing exam in Therapeutic Recreation. I am attending medical school at Saint Louis University and loving the fact that I am finally learning the trade I've wanted my entire life.
St. Louis is unique for a number of reasons including higher crime and sales tax (~10%), but it is also unique in that a great many city activities are FREE! The St. Louis Zoo (3rd largest in the country) is free except for parking, as is the St. Louis Science Center, City Garden, Botanical Garden, and History and Art Museums among others. We are having a lot of fun and have already been to the Art Museum (partially under construction in photo).
So that is a light-speed summary of our doings the past few months. More to follow. Stay tuned!
