starting back up

Hey Guys! So I haven't updated in a while. My old blog lost all of its pictures when I changed the author to my new email address so if any of you have any ideas how I can get them back that would be ABSOLUTELY AMAZING if you could help solve that mystery... but for now... I just decided to get a new blog because I have missed the blogging world and I am sure it has missed me...back by popular demand and all! (Okay, so maybe it was only my mom and sisters).

A few life changing events have happened since I have been out of touch in the short span of seven months...buckle up...this is the quick update...

Matthew came home! 

Two years of waiting/pining/writing/hoping/stressing came to fruition. (Notice the awkward gap between us in the picture. Don't worry, the "Let's only shake hands because that's the only physical contact I have had in two years" phase lasted less than twenty four hours).

We started dating!

...two days later. It was official. Facebook relationship status change and all. 

We got engaged!

...three weeks later. 

We got married!

...three months later.

We got a mini van! 

...three days after. Just for renting purposes only to drive around in Cali on our HONEYMOON.

But now we have finally slowed down and are figuring out our Happily Ever After one day and at time. So stay tuned!
