Three.

Today we celebrated three years of marriage. If I'm honest for a moment, our third year was happy/crappy. Kyle and I talked and both came to the conclusion that our third year has been our least favorite of marriage so far. I know I'm probably not suppose to let you all in on that secret, but we like to keep it real. Our first year as husband and wife we were on cloud nine the entire year. The second year we slowly floated down to reality and into study halls at school. Our third year was this strange in between of being graduated but not moved on to the next chapter. We were stuck and trying to figure out how to enjoy that time together...but not successful at it a great deal of the time. Love is tricky sometimes, but the belly laughs and slow dancing make it oh so worth it. To celebrate the end of this year together and the many hard adventures and new paths it brought us along the way, we went to one of our favorite places. White Rock, B.C. was one of our favorite date spots when we were dating as teenagers. Sounds wild now that we have been part of each other's lives that long! Looking at Kyle I felt the butterflies. He is one handsome man, and he is my handsome man. And dang is he lucky to have a catch like me ;) 

Cheers to three years and many more to come

Love.

Playing Catch Up

January: We started settling into our townhouse in Bellingham. We didn't fully unpack, and I never really decorated much. Kyle and I were hoping to be approved for a home loan and start on the hunt for a more permanent place. Kyle was glad to be back at Granite, only as an engineer, not an intern. We went to Maui with my family. We love spending time with them, but it also made us want a vacation just us. It felt like ages ago since we had gone somewhere new together, just us.

 February: This month was fairly uneventful. I started back to work, and Kyle and I had very little time to spend together. We hit six years together, which may seem like a small feet in comparison to others, but for us it was exciting. 

March: This month I opened my e-mail to find that Whatcom Day Academy needed someone to fill in for a teacher on leave. I was so excited to be putting my degree to better use, and get more hours. We celebrated our mom's birthdays and spent more time with family than we were use to.

April: We celebrated lots of birthdays and spent even more time with family and friends. The year is officially flying by now that we are back...

May: This month Kyle got more serious about searching for a home. We are looking for a home that will be a little bit of a fixer, but something we can hopefully sell in 5-7 years. Eventually it is still our goal and dream to build a home together. Kyle looked on craigslist...because he's obsessed with craigslist, and we found the one! We went and viewed it the next day, and made an offer the day after that. She accepted...

June: June marked the end of the school year, and waiting for our big move...

July: We FINALLY moved into our home...I will try my best to get a video tour up soon. WE ARE HOME OWNERS 

We are moving on up in the world...still figuring out life after college, but we are enjoying the adventures along the way.
