1 Year & Counting

"The Love of My Life....The Best Is Yet to Come"

I cannot believe Justin and I have been married a year especially the fact last year when we got married it was 65 degrees and I believe the high was 42 degrees this year! We had so much fun on our Anniversary weekend! Justin and I decided to celebrate our anniversary on Saturday night. I love Olive Garden so we decided to go there for dinner and then maybe head to a movie. After dinner we were so tired that we decided we would just see a movie on Sunday; I have midterms this week and next so I was studying basically all weekend (not that romantic on my part but it was my priority and Justin understood). Well Sunday morning rolls around and I had just woken up and just laid in bed for a couple of minutes. Justin asked me to get him an ice pack for his neck, so I got up (still half asleep) grabbed the ice pack from the kitchen saw this lovely surprise and dropped the ice pack! Thank goodness Justin didn't ask for me to get him a drink!

Sliced strawberries in the shape of a 1 & mimosas in our toasting flutes from the wedding!

What can I say I pretty much have the most amazing husband! Sunday we decided that we were just going to take it easy since I still had a lot of studying left to do. We got up cleaned the house, made chili, and had some wonderful visitors stop by to wish us a Happy Anniversary. We also decided we are going to make it a tradition every year to fill out an Anniversary book that Aunt Dala had given us for a wedding gift. The book is so cute! Every year you put a picture in it along with where you live and what you did in the past year; it even has a pocket to put your cards to each other. I love things like this! With that being said we decided it was time to take some pictures.



After pictures we decided we should eat the top tier of our cake. We didn't save our top tier from our wedding but we decided to get a new one so tradition would somewhat not be broken.



To My Husband: I can't even begin to tell you what an amazing husband you are. I'm so happy to be married to my best friend. We have had such an amazing time this year and I can't wait to see what the next 70 years will hold. I love you soo much!

XOXOX,
Your Wife

I Love October!

We have been very busy! School is going great and I've very excited to be on this new path. I have been playing housewife for the past 5 weeks and have really enjoyed it and I believe that Justin has too considering I have been able to cook dinner more often :) I do miss work, but luckily I have been offered two wonderful part-time jobs so I know that will keep me busy. I will be working as a leasing consultant for a complex in New Castle, Indiana (which is about 20mins away) with Buckingham and I have also been offered a position at Elanco which is a division of Eli Lilly. With Elanco, I will be working from home and will be teaming up with the event management team to help them book conferences and meetings all over the United States. I'm very excited about both of these opportunities and now I am just waiting to start work!

September was such a fun month! My baby sister Kathryn turned 13 (which I am still in denial about her being a teenager) my sister Lindsey is now 20, and one of my best friends got married. Ashley and I have been friends since the 6th grade so it was such an honor to stand by her side. Here is a picture of the beautiful bride and her family!



I know a lot of people are not big fans of Fall but it is my favorite season...especially October! October is such a busy month with a lot of family birthdays (especially my sister Melissa and my husband's birthday:) October is also wonderful because of football, using our fire pit, the leaves turning, and of course our anniversary. It is hard to believe that in just a couple of weeks Justin and I will be celebrating our 1 year anniversary. I can't believe that it has almost been a year! We have been having such an amazing time!

I am also so excited for Halloween! I was over the moon last year about having our first home and our first Halloween to pass out candy to all of the neighborhood kids and I think I am just excited this year! I love seeing all of the little kids and their costumes!

I'm pretty sure that is all of the recent news! Please keep Aunt Dala and Grandpa Dick in your prayers! Dick will be having quadruple bypass surgery this Friday! We love and miss you all!
