Newlyweds!

Well, this is the beginning of our new blog! I have no idea what it will be about, but I guess I have to start somewhere! I suppose I will begin with just a little info about "The Murray's."

Jonathan and I both graduated from Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas. We met during a summer abroad in Greece and have been attached ever since! We were married on September 4, 2010 in Dallas, Texas. After honeymooning in Mexico, Jonny moved in with me and we began to settle into our first home together -- a small, 1 bedroom "soft loft" apartment. Needless to say, we will be moving into a bigger place when our lease is up in November!

Our wedding day!
Jonathan currently works as a Coinsurance Biller for a company that runs assisted living facilities across Texas, Oklahoma, and Missouri. He feels very lucky to have such a short commute, and he enjoys the people he works with. Apparently, they played laser tag during lunch yesterday...sounds so stressful!

I am in my second semester of graduate school at TWU to obtain my Master of Arts in Teaching! I work as a substitute teacher for Frisco ISD and love it! This is my first year subbing and so far I have had the opportunity to sub in Kindergarten, 1st, 6th, 7th, and 8th! I plan on getting certified in EC-6, ESL, then possibly 4-8 and Special Education, too! I also work 15 hours per week as an Attendant for a sweet teenage girl who has autism. She is so fun to work with and I have been learning new things every day!

And I can't forget about the other member of the Murray family -- Charlie! He is our oh-so-cute maltese/pomeranian pup! He was born May 20, 2009 in Huntington Beach, California! Jonny and I lived with his family in CA that summer, and I just had to get him when I saw him! He is the main source of laughter and entertainment in our lives!


Charlie!
That's enough about us. Hopefully I can think of something to write about next time!
