Long Time No Posts

Okay so obviously I have not posted in what is well over two months. While I would like to have some elaborate reason I have none. I have just been lazy.

Married life is great and Tigran and I are finally enjoying some time alone. His sister has been here visiting from Russia for the last 40 days. She just left on Saturday so we now have time to relax in the evenings. Our home is taking shape. We almost have everything hung and decorated. We still are waiting on curtains but that will eventually come.

Our honeymoon was amazing. We can't thank Nicki enough for recommending it. Anyone who has the chance should definately visit New Zealand. The country is beautiful and the people could not be more hospitable. We went horseback riding through Lord of the Rings country, went snowboarding at Mt. Hutt and Coronet Peak, went on two Gondola rides up mountains in Christchurch and Queenstown, and went to see Milford Sound (an amazing fiord on the edge of the Tazman Sea). Both Queenstown and Christchurch but Queenstown was my favorite....I think because our hotel room overlooked a lake and mountains. I will try to post some wedding pictures and honeymoon pictures.

As for married life there are a few new facts I have discovered about Tigran:
1- He gets very angry when you hog his side of the bed (apparently he claims I lay diagonally on the bed)
2- He claims he will cook but can only make homemade quesadillas (which are great though!)
3- He is very good at laundry and doesn't mind doing the dishes b/c that is the only way to ensure that I haven't left bits of food on them ( I stink at the dishes)
4- Three of his favorite channels bore me almost to death (the history, science, and military channel)

I'm sure there will be more to come. As for the wedding it was great. It couldn't of been pulled off without all the help of family and friends however (you all know who you are).

Grad school is going well and we are almost finished with the first of four quarters. It has gone amazingly fast. I only have two main projects left to finish, one is a painting and the other is a 15 page paper. I'm trying to avoid the latter. Well that is enough of an update for now and I promise to try and blog more often!
