Proud of my purchase!

Hey guys!

It's Jonathan and I wanted to blog about something we purchased recently.  I was looking on CraigsList recently (just for fun) and found a really cool retro office desk for the awesome price of $50! I contacted the seller that afternoon and went to look at the desk that evening- and of course, I came home with it!

In our new apartment in Chrestman Hall at MC- which we will post more pictures of soon- we have a lot more space in our 2nd bedroom. Therefore, this desk that sat in an office building for 25 years fits great and we really like it! Check out my pictures:

I got my shelves put up above it!

The last 2 weeks of our lives have been a little crazy - several really big things have happened!
I'm so proud to say that my not so little sister  was a Sophomore Clinton Homecoming Maid 2 weekends ago! I just can't believe she's old enough to be in high school. Some days I feel like we were just in high school. Here's a picture of the family the night of the Homecoming game:

A few weeks ago we spontaneously decided to take a trip to NYC over MC's Fall Break. We never do things this short notice, but we figured now is the perfect time to plan fun, random trips! So the day after the Clinton Homecoming game we made the trip to NYC for a few days!  We stayed with Jonathan's sister who lives in NYC and it was fun to hang out with her and her boyfriend, Jamie, while we were there.  When we got to the city, the first thing we did was buy tickets to see our favorite Broadway show - Mary Poppins! It was my 2nd time to see it and Jonathan's 3rd time. The other show we saw was Billy Elliot- which was also fabulous! The rest of the 2 1/2 days we went to Ellis Island/Statue of Liberty, Grand Central Station, the Empire State Building, High Line Park, Central Park, shopped and walked all over NYC. My feet have never hurt that much!

So excited to be at our favorite musical- Mary Poppins!

The biggest change that happened in our life these past couple of weeks is that we have ONCE again moved to a new apartment. The position of Resident Director for Chrestman, the freshmen guy's dorm, recently opened and after much discussion and prayer, Jonathan decided to take the job.  This meant we had to pack up for the 3rd time since we've been married (4 months today) and move.  Thankfully, with the help of several of our amazing friends and my family we were able to move this past weekend and almost unpack everything. We are really excited about this change and I know Jonathan will be an amazing Resident Director for the freshman guys. When we get the apartment completely unpacked and mostly decorated I'll post some pictures!

MC Homecoming is this weekend so both of us are really looking forward to seeing friends that we don't get to see that often anymore!

Also, happy 4 months to my husband! I'm cooking Poppy Seed Chicken and a Pumpkin Cake for dinner tonight to celebrate!

It's been a while...

Well, A LOT has happened since the last time I blogged. It's definitely time for an update!
As you can see from the last post, we both graduated from MC and we got married! In the past few months since that - so many things have happened! You would get bored and quit reading this post if I wrote about everything in detail, so instead I thought it would be fun to catch up on the life of the Nutts with pictures and captions! Enjoy :)

Jonathan and I during the bachelorette / bachelor trips- our trips overlapped
and one night we all hung out together!

June 12th-  An absolutely perfect day!
We finally became Mr. & Mrs. Jonathan Nutt!

One of my favorites!

Wedding party!

I was slightly obsessed with our cake and flowers!  I didn't want the normal everyday
roses and round cake. They turned out PERFECT!

At the reception, we had a Fotobooth set up thanks to the best photographer ever - Robby Followell. The best serious pose picture we have ever taken!

The bridesmaids and I!

Leaving the reception- confetti!

One week away!

It's so hard to believe, but we are one week away from getting married!

Since our last post, so much has happened! We graduated from MC on May 8th, I went on a bachelorette trip with a few of my bridesmaids, Jonathan went on a bachelor trip with his groomsmen and Jonathan started working full time at MC! It's been a crazy month and the wedding is almost here! Jonathan also moved in to a temporary apartment in College Plaza apartments which are part of Mississippi College and we will move in to the Resident Director Apartment around the 1st of July. Therefore, we've been busy... and become expert movers.

We have been running around like crazy trying to finish all of the last minute wedding details, but we think it's all coming together. I just wanted to update since we haven't since the middle of April. We will be staying busy up until next week finishing up last minute things and packing for Jamaica!

We hope to see you at the wedding!

Anna

I have a job after graduation!

Hey everyone!

This is Jonathan writing to tell everyone about some recent news in my life! After a few months of waiting, hoping and praying, it is official that I will be working at MC (Mississippi College) next year!

Anna and I will be moving to College Plaza apartments in July where I will be a Resident Director. For those of you who don't know, College Plaza is a part of MC Residence Life but is not actually on campus- it's about a block away. I will also be working about 30 hours per week in the Office of Enrollment Management & Student Affairs where I've been working for the past several years. I will continue to do a lot of the stuff I've been doing- publications, preparing presentations, working on the new student website, etc.

As for this summer, in between the wedding, honeymoon and other travels, I will be working full time in that office at MC. We are both very excited that I have something next year. Also, I will be able to start work on a graduate degree in the fall since I will be employed full time by MC. We are both very thankful to MC (for hiring me) and of course to God for answering our prayers about post-graduation employment.

So, there's my good news! Only three more full weeks until graduation and then only a month after that, we're getting married- it's all almost here!

An Update from Anna

Hey everybody! It's Anna...

Life has been crazy lately. Between finishing school, campus events, work, a couple of trips to Nashville, and working on the wedding, we haven't had a lot of free time! I can't believe we are almost done with school (just 28 days now)! After graduation, I'm going to Destin with several of my bridesmaids and I'm so excited! It's going to be wonderful to just relax and have fun with friends before coming back to get everything ready for the wedding!

A couple of weeks ago, my bridesmaids threw my very first wedding shower. We got things such as glasses, several of our every day plates, our KitchenAid blender and mixer, a vacuum, and so much more! We are blessed to have so many wonderful people in our lives. But the best part of the whole weekend was that one of my best friends and bridesmaids who goes to school in Florida, flew home and surprised me! I think everyone but me knew Lawren was coming home. Jonathan even knew and he's horrible at keeping secrets from me!

In the next few weeks, we have several more showers, so I'm really looking forward to those as well!

Here are a few pictures from my shower:

Wonderful Laguna friends that came!

There will be lots to blog about in the next few weeks, so I'm sure we'll be updating soon!

Love ya'll!

April is here!

Hey everyone... Jonathan writing.

I never updated to let you know about my Spring Break tasks! Well, I accomplished all of the things on that list... except for reading a book. But that one was not a definite. So, I'm still proud of myself.

Since then, we have been to Nashville twice where my parents are moving- once over Spring Break and once over Easter weekend/my birthday weekend. We also got through Spring Fever Week at MC which was a big week with events I was in charge of every night! It was fun, but I'm glad it's over! We've also been working on getting invitations ready to send out, as well as wedding favors. AND, Anna had her first shower which she plans to blog about and post pictures of soon.

So, we've been busy and believe it or not, we are both graduating in 31 days! We are both excited and nervous. I am pretty sure I have secured employment for post-graduation, but I will know for sure soon and hopefully be able to let everyone in on it!

Here are a few pictures from Easter weekend- enjoy!
