Chapter 29, paragraph 9

I re-found my blog today shortly after I found a message on my facebook from a man I thought I would certainly never hear from again. His message was to tell me how beautiful I looked in my wedding photos. Odd that, there was a considerable amount of time in my life that I assumed if I were ever to marry it would have been to that man. I will admit his message was a sort of shock, something between disgust and nostalgia which caused me to look up things like my old deviantArt account and this blog. I had honestly forgotten about the blog, which is a shame – the last two years of my life have been rather eventful and a digital journal of it would have been nice. I do still keep a paper and pen journal though so it is not as though all has been lost but I think I might give this a whirl again. I feel that before I can get going on this however a rundown of the past 13 months is in order. 2011 We were very poor and skipped snowboarding. Honda did finally offer me a permanent position, it was a terrible position and I took the spot under the assumption that I would be able to move departments in 6 months only to find out that was not true – I was advised that I would have to either quit or get fired in order to move. I quit. Kevin was offered a job at the NAS JRB in Fort Worth, he took it and we moved to Fort Worth TX. I found a job with a company called SHC, it didn’t pay me quit as much as Honda but it was 15 rather than 60 min. from our new place in down town FtW and a position I thought I could live with so I took it. On September 25th Kevin proposed, I said yes. The holidays happened, family was seen and loved on, I wrote a sappy journal entry about the years gone by on New Year’s Day. 2012 We spent way too much money on our snowboarding trip to stay in an amazing ski in ski out house rather than a condo – completely worth it but will most likely not do that again. Way too much money. Wedding planning was in full force in the beginning months of the year – we made our own bouquet’s, I hunted down and purchased a turquoise petticoat to wear under my tea length dress, lots of photos were taken, I drove my mother insane, we put together our own center pieces, I designed and printed all of my own invites and RSVP’s, we invited way to many people and freaked out about the budget a lot. I was promoted at SHC – I thoroughly enjoy my job and am very glad that I left HFS. Kevin decided we needed to buy a house, I disagreed at first but he talked me into it so we started house hunting. I found out we couldn’t afford the historical home in the inner city that I would have loved so Kevin drove me 15 min out of the city…15 min out is pretty far, I settled though; it was important to him. We couldn’t find a house we liked in our price range but found out we could build with our budget, just not custom. So we went with KB and built a cookie cutter house in the sububurbs of FtW; not exactly where I ever saw my life going. We got married on May 26th – it was a blast and the colors were crazy awesome. We closed and got the Keys to our house in the burbs on May 29th. We did not take a honey moon. In July I had my wisdom teeth removed – got an infection from the surgery and had to have another surgery to clear the infection. Which brings us to September 2012.
