A year, more than a year actually.
That's how long it has been since I have written here.
A lot has happened, and I'm ecstatic to share with you...
Let us take a trip down memory lane for the last year.
I started dating Mike summer 2011, thought I put him through a lot initially, he came around and gave me a second chance.
I am so grateful he did because I don't know where I would be if he hadn't.
Since last summer we've done a lot, we've pretty much been inseparable...
I got to meet his parents last fall as well as got to see where he is from & met some of his friends.
We moved in together right after Thanksgiving and spent the holidays together & with my family.
In February I decided I needed to make an occupational move, so I applied for many jobs and landed one at a bank in Puyallup, initially part time, which quickly developed into full time.
In April 2012 Mike took me to Los Angeles to meet his sister & Reno to visit his parents again.
Thanks to him and his sister I got to knock a few things off my bucket list, such as seeing the Hollywood sign, go to Huntington Beach, rides bikes along the boardwalk, got to Disneyland, shopping, party in Hollywood and so much more. It was an amazing experience & lovely meeting his sister & seeing his parents again. This was all for my birthday. (He spoils me)
One weekend in May I decided to buy a new car and we wound up with my 2013 Kia Rio!
Coincidentally, this amazing man I've been dating for a year decided to propose to me that same weekend while we were in Westport!! (details to come in another post)
After much quick planning we got married two months later on July 14th, 2012 in my grandma's backyard. I may be biased but it was the most beautiful wedding, and I could not have asked for anything more!
After much searching we moved into our new home in August of this year and have gotten settled in.
We visited Leavenworth for Labor Day and not long after my best friend came to visit and she is pregnant with her first baby!
My husband joined her and I at the Puyallup Fair, to which he had never been.
Lastly, my sister in law visited us for a weekend during the first part of October, so we had a chance to show her around our neck of the woods.
I think that about covers the basics.
The last year has flown by, but it was an amazing adventure full of new experiences that I wouldn't change for anything. I'm so lucky and completely blessed with everything I've been given.
I hope you enjoyed the update, stay posted for more. :)
