One Year......

Today, marks the one year anniversary of Sean's and my first date. It was a 12 hour date that led to a crazy, busy, amazing, unbelievable year. I'm starting this blog to catch up on a little on history and to track the exciting begininnings that are still to come for us. So, here's a quick synopsis of our relationship so far:

Sean wanted to get a puppy and asked my advice. This gave us a reason to really talk after a few years of making small talk at work. He got the puppy (Lucy) and then asked me out. Here's a picture of Lucy and Sophie (my dog) with their special Christmas collars.

After dating a few months, I had to go to Thailand for work and Sean decided to meet me there. I think it was during this trip that both of us really decided that we would be together forever. No pictures of us together in Thailand unfortunately because Sean was having fun and I was working :).

We were engaged on June 14th. Here's our engagement picture with the dogs.

We were married on September 8th in my hometown of Proctor. It was a fun day and the wedding was beautiful.

Then we went on our honeymoon to Italy for almost 2 weeks. We visited Rome, Venice, Florence and Cinque Terre.

Once we got home, we moved all of my stuff into Sean's house which is now our home. Consolidating households was not easy but well worth the effort.

In November, we learned that we would be parents in August! We are so looking forward to this major change in our lives. I was blessed to not be sick at all during the 1st trimester and now I am into the 2nd. We have seen little Baby B in 3 different ultrasounds now. The last one that we had done was a couple of weeks ago for a 1st trimester screen for Down's syndrome and other chromosomal abnormalities. On Friday, we got the test results back that everything is normal. It was a huge relief.

Today we've been together a year and neither of us could imagine life without each other.
