Almost 1 Year and Counting

Welcome all to my blog. I figured in between episodes of The Office I could find time to update everyone on my life. I can't promise you that I will post riveting stories of my daily activities but I can guarantee to be honest which I'm sure will scare and worry most of you.

So this Sunday will be Spencer's and my 1 year anniversary. This morning we were talking about how nervous, excited, overwhelmed and happy we were feeling the days before our vows. I couldn't sleep, lying in bed worrying if I had ordered my cake for delivery for the right date or if I had booked our plane tickets to the wrong destination. In the end, everything turned out beautiful and we couldn't have asked for a better day.

This first year has had it's ups and downs. Spencer was laid off a month before our wedding so we had six loooong months of a spending freeze which wasn't easy with Meadow's leg amputation after her car accident, our washing machine and A/C breaking and numerous issues with my car. We both also lost our grandmothers in the last 12 months but somehow we came out stronger than ever. Spencer now has a new job which has some added perks for me (Neiman's here I come). We have the best three legged dog in the world and a beautiful home for us all to spend time together. And I turned 30 and don't feel a day older than 21. This year hasn't been easy but I couldn't imagine it any other way.

We are looking forward to celebrating our 1 year in Austin, the city we started dating in almost 5 years ago. I'm looking forward to shopping, dining and spending a relaxing weekend with my best friend. I feel truly blessed and hope the next 50 years are as exciting as this one.
