I tried this blogging thing once before, but for some reason stopped doing it...but I really love the idea of all of my family and friends being able to keep up with me and my life even if they live a million miles away, so I'm trying it again...determined to stick with it this time!
So...as most everyone knows, Brad and I got married on April 24! It was awesome...all of the planning and preparation was totally worth it because it turned out exactly how I had pictured it :) It was so much fun to see everyone, especially my family that live up north, that I definitely don't see as much as I'd like to.
Brad and I left the next morning for Miami where we boarded our home for the next week...the Carnival Valor! We had the best honeymoon ever and got to see some pretty neat places. We visited Grand Cayman, Honduras, Belize, and Cozumel. I most definitely wasn't ready to go home, but had plenty of exciting things to look forward to.
I started my new job the day after we returned from our honeymoon. After being "unemployed" for over a year it was a huge relief to know that I was coming home to a new job...a perfect way to start off my new marriage. Things finally seemed to be looking up for Brad and I. Brad had been promoted to assistant GM of Fatso's Sports Bar and was loving his new job.
Now, here we are....a whole month later (can't believe we've been married a month already) and things are going pretty great for us. We both like our new jobs, for now ;) and we have a lot to look forward to. Recently, my brother got engaged and is planning to get married in September of 2011, and Brad's cousin Tonya and her longtime boyfriend finally decided to tie the knot...so we have their wedding to look forward to next April! And of course, Steph and Matt will be getting married next May where I get to be the matron of honor...sounds so much older than maid of honor!
I hope everyone has a wonderful memorial day weekend...I know I'm super excited to spend 3 whole days at the beach with my love and his family.
Love Always,
LG
Dad.
