Updates from the past year

So I realize I am a horrible blogger, seeing that my last post was nearly a year ago. So I've avowed to become better perhaps I'll blog monthly now or something that seems about reasonable. Anyways a lot has happened since we got engaged last May.

Can I just say planning a wedding was probably one of the best things ever! I had so much fun with my mother who is my best friend (aside from my husband of course). We really were able to plan a very nice wedding and I am so grateful for my parents and all they did for us! They are the best. So after 7 months we finally got married on December 17th! It was a perfect day, not only did I marry my best friend, but it didn't rain in Seattle!! That is a miracle in and of itself!

The next day we got on a plane and flew to Maui for a much needed vacation and more importantly our honeymoon!! We had a great week soaking in the sun, eating fresh pineapple (well mainly me), and just enjoying being married of course! It was so nice to get away from reality and really focus on each other and spend good quality time with one another.

Since I am a very traditional girl, I insisted we come home in time for Christmas because I can't miss Christmas morning with my family. We spent Christmas Eve with Pablo's parents and then drove to my house to surprise my brother who thought he'd be all alone on Christmas morning. He was so excited! The three of us had a sleepover in the man cave and waited for Santa! It was really fun sharing my first Christmas with Pablo and my family. He fits in so well with us, I can't wait for him and Jameson to meet!!

After spending two more days at home, we finally came back to Utah to begin life again so to speak. Pablo started school and work. He is studying Finance at Utah Valley University and works part-time for Chase bank as well. I've been working for an independent financial planner for just about 6 months now and recently got promoted to office manager status. I am even learning accounting! Go me!

Not much is new or exciting with us currently. Just going about the daily grind. We can't wait for Pablo to finish school next year so we can move on to the next chapter in life and see what new adventures await. But in the meantime we do find time to get out and have some fun while we are still here in lovely happy valley.
