Introduction

Hello, everyone! Meagan here - I broke down & decided to create our very own Blog since reading blogs gets me through slow afternoons at work. I'm sure Jeremy will enjoy posting, too, especially once UT football starts in a few weeks!

I suppose I'll just start with what we've been up to...I graduated from UT in December 2006 with a BA in Geography & married Jeremy 10 days later on December 30 (Jeremy graduated from UT with a BBA in Finance in 2004). We honeymooned in St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands then moved into an apartment in Houston near West University. Jeremy worked at TJ's Ace Hardware with his parents and I took a job in the Regulatory group at Apache Corporation. We were so lucky to move into our first home in Oak Forest near the Heights last September and our prayers were answered when Jeremy was able to take a job downtown with Lumin Expert Group in January. Jeremy makes fun of me for my explanation of what they do, but I think it's accurate and succint - they do financial analysis of intellectual property for patent infringement lawsuits. Jeremy's boss is the expert witness at trial and everyone else does lots of research, modeling, etc. Besides normal complaints with jobs, we both really enjoy what we do and look forward to moving up our respective corporate ladders!

Beyond working, we (try) to do stuff around the house to fix it up, play with our doggies Dixie and McLovin, enjoy the park and disc golf course by our house, play tennis and mostly we like to enjoy lazy weekends together on our couch!

Here are some pictures of our babies...

We just got back from a trip to Bentonville/Bella Vista, Arkansas for Jeremy's brother Josh's wedding to Jamie. It was so fun to see lots of Hamblen & Bobo family members - Kate & Tish (Jeremy's cousin & aunt) drove in from Chicago, Jeremy's great-Aunt Barbara, Uncle John, Aunt Audrey & Uncle Wayne, Jeremy's Aunt & Uncle Vicki & Gary Stone & cousin Jacob, and Jeremy's Aunt Pat, Uncle Dan, cousins Erin, Lucas, Amy, Chris & new baby Katy. There are a ton of pictures, so you can just go here to view them!
