so i forgot i blogged

i'm awful at this. i totally forgot i even had one of these things until i found one my friends and read it and then remembered that i too type random events from my life. needless to say, much has happened since i last wrote in January i believe?

probably the most fun thing is that that gregg and i celebrated our one year anniversary. the actual day of our anv. we went to dinner at the first place we went on a "date" the first time he came to visit me from florida. gregg also gave me the sweetest and best possible gift. i wasn't really expecting anything because we had booked a cruise to celebrate but he surprised me with his sweetness (as usual). for our wedding we didn't have a "professional" photographer but instead a really talented friend gave us a HUGE gift by doing all our photos at no cost at all. as a result we had amazing pictures but no formal album. so gregg used http://www.mypublisher.com/ to create our wedding album. i cannot explain how much seeing that book meant to me..it was beautiful and personalized by him.

then a few weeks later we left for our week long cruise to mexico. it was such a nice treat to get away for 6 whole days from the rest of the world. i think i enjoyed shutting off my phone and leaving it that way for 6 days as much as anything else about the trip. cruising isn't something we were totally thrilled about but the trip was great all in all.

we've really started to connect with people here in austin over the last several months. it is such a blessing to finally feel what it's like to have friends again! i cannot even explain how good it is!

i'm still working part-time and really enjoying my job and the fact that it's only 28 hrs a week and pretty stress free (knock on wood). not really enjoying as much the fact that i pretty much make no money but i'm learning to just be patient and enjoy this freedom i have now because i know it won't always be here. i've come very close to applying to graduate school this past year but just can't commit. so, i'm holding off on that.

life is good and this past year has been a huge blessing. i feel so incredibly blessed to have been given such an amazing husband. i seriously thank God every single day for this life that He's given me and the person He's allowed to walk with me through it.
