Don't take my title literally... maybe. I haven't blogged in almost a year I'M SORRY!!! But I actually have a full time job now and it is hard to justify blogging when my house is so dirty, T.J. is here or the pets need to be fed! I have missed it though... and I think one reason I WOULDN'T blog is b/c I thought "BUT I HAVEN'T BLOGGED IN SO LONG!! I would have to update on everything... I will when I have time!" Hmm.. I have now realized I will never have "time" so why not just post a lil somethin somethin? ;)
It has literally almost been a year since I last posted! I see my last post was my HUNDREDTH post and that I was just coming back from being in NC with the Werner family... funny enough b/c I'm just about to go see them AGAIN! :) This time in Flo-RIDA! :) So let's do a little play by play on this past YEAR so I can just get it over with!
August 2010- I finally was DONE with the crazy doctors office I had for some reason subjected myself to working for... I had a vacation in NC and interviewed at Chesapeake among a few other places. AND WE GOT GOLLY OUR KITTY :)
September 2010- Started an accounting job b/c Chesapeakes hiring process took forever. Oh and I ran a half marathon with Debbie, Suzy, T.J. & Mike- IT WAS A BLAST. Best 1/2 for sure. (Only my 2nd but hey) :) Oh and T.J. turned 25!
October 2010- Had a great 25th bday... T.J. surprised me with a fun dinner in a little town 40 minutes away with carving pumpkins after! (I had never done this before and he felt very sorry for me!) LOL
November 2010- PUERTO RICO BABY!!! T.J. and I went to PR to have an AMAZING vacation with Susan and Christian. Then I came back and started my job at Chesapeake with a sunburn. Oh, I guess I quit the earlier job in October. :) We also had a great Thanksgiving with our friends here in NY. Oh my word, I almost forgot :) I shot the buck of a lifetime!
December 2010- I become a coffee addict. We have Christmas in NY (T.J.'s family came up) b/c I couldn't miss 1 day of work for the first 3 months of my new job!
January 2011- I hate the cold. I hate winter. I hate snow... I hate the cold. That pretty much sums up January.
February 2011- Valentine's group date. Fun! Still really cold... still a lot of snow. This makes for some snow days at home and still hating the cold. Oh and I'm officially a Chesapeake employee- I made the 3 month probation period (phew!) AND MOST IMPORTANTLY! My brother in law Troy proposed to my future sister in law Kaley!!
March 2011- NYC trip. Still cold!! (Seriously). Looking forward to warmer months.
April 2011- Cody and Emily come out! Yay!
May 2011- Andy and Jen come out! Yay! Finally getting some warmer days at the end of the month!
June 2011- here we are guys! Celebrating 3 years with my hunny on the 28th!
Wow, that truly just bored me out of my mind so I'm sorry to put you through that! All in all it has been a great past year and I'm looking forward to this fall b/c T.J. will start JOB HUNTING! This is super exciting for me! We will pray pray pray and ask that you stand with us in prayer while we ask the Lord WHERE DO YOU WANT US!? Obviously, Oklahoma would be great it is just hard b/c the job possibilities there are looking a little bleak at this point.
By the way, on a totally different note- just stating the obvious here but I feel like everyone is getting pregnant! No... I am definitely NOT pregnant and you won't be hearing that statement from me anytime soon!! (Right God?) :) But really, 3 of my good friends are totally preggers- some in secret :) but I.LOVE.IT. Keep it coming guys! Aunt Kelly is ready!! :)
Lots of exciting things coming up though! A trip to FL, Mike & Debbie are coming up in August, THE WEDDING a month later and then T.J.'s papa and mom will come up this hunting season. T.J.'s papa will get to hunt with T.J. in NY! This is super exciting b/c T.J. LOVES IT HERE and since Huston, T.J.'s papa showed T.J. everything there is to know about hunting it will be super cool to see them hiking around upstate NY together. :) T.J. is super pumped and ready to "beat me" with a bigger buck... We'll see if that happens!!! :)
Love all my blogging friends and I have still kept up with you!! I will try to do this blogging thing more frequently!!
I think all in all I can say this past year God has really worked through me and T.J., binding us closer together even though I didn't know that was possible! And showing us how much HE can do THROUGH us. I love the Lord with all my heart and I can only pray He will use me for His glory and plan!!!!
