Little Update (Long Overdue)It's been so long since I've written a real update that I'm not even sure where to begin. This past year and a half has been so full of changes for me and has gone by so fast. Looking back, it seems almost surreal that this is my life today...and yet, at the same time, it seems as though things have always been this way. Here's a quick look at all that's happened: March 17, 2007: After the end of a relationship in January, my heart was finally on the mend and I was back on the dating scene (for all of 3 weeks, or so...). I met Kirk at a St. Patrick's Day party. April 30, 2007: I broke free from the mundane world of public accounting and began a new job at TreeHouse. July 18, 2007: I became a homeowner with the purchase of my townhouse. We began painting, re-carpeting, etc., etc., etc... September 15, 2007: Kirk proposed! We began planning our wedding and shared the exciting news with our families. November/December 2007: My dad's cancer had returned and he was undergoing treatment. His stem cell transplant was a success and he continues to be cancer-free! March 17, 2008: Kirk and I celebrated our one-year dating anniversary by returning to the bar where we met. April 19, 2008: Wedding day! We had the perfect wedding and a wonderful reception. April 20, 2008: Kirk moved in and we began settling into married life. April 22 - 29, 2008: Honeymoon in Mexico! We had a wonderful time, with gorgeous weather every day. May 31, 2008: We hosted our first party as husband and wife in our home. June 1, 2008: I celebrated my 25th birthday...if I wasn't married, I'd be freaking out right about now... Now, obviously there was much in between, but these are the major happenings of the past year and a half (or so). I would love to update with more detail, pictures and the whole ball of wax, but we are still without Internet at home. Luckily, it's a pretty quiet day at work today, so I was able to update at least a little. I was, however, thinking today that I need to get back to my writing (yes, real writing!). I can't even remember the last time that I actually sat down and wrote something more intelligent than this timeline of my short-term memory... Well, anyway, hope you all have a fantastic weekend! We're celebrating Kirk's grandma's 92nd birthday tonight and it's also his dad's birthday today. Tomorrow, we're visiting Kirk's uncle then heading to a friend's birthday party. To top it all off, I'm singing at Church tomorrow and Sunday. So, it should be a great, albeit busy, weekend. Now, I suppose I should do some work or something...hmm... |
