Well one year has come and gone in the world of marriage. September 25, 2009 my best friend and I were married. I am looking back and wondering where that time went. Now we are working to get a house of our own and working on a family of our own.
Bryan is starting to do more as far as work is concerned. He is leaving to travel for work to Toronto, ON to help with some training up there since he is our trainer here. He will be gone for a week and not quite sure how I feel about that. We haven't been apart at all really for the past almost 4 years I think. And the last time was only for a couple of days a week is different. But we make it work and I am very proud of him for all the work he is doing. This is a great opportunity for him and it will open some doors for more travel so I guess I need to get used to it.
So to back track a bit.... it has been a busy year and its hard to remember what has happened.
My Birthday we had an interesting time in New Hampshire to say the least. Bryan took me for a weekend of shopping and just hanging out. The one memorable thing about that weekend was when we .......(well I) almost put a hole in the ceiling of the hotel room. I had decided that I want mimosas to drink. So we went across the street to get the champagne and orange juice. When we got back to the room I went to open the bottle of champagne and next thing I know I am about ready to pee my pants either from fear of laughter. The cork had shot out of that bottle and hit the ceiling. Of course Bryan and I could not stop laughing for quite some time. But other than that snafu we had a great weekend. Happy Birthday to me!!!
For our Anniversary this year we went to Maine and got to spend time with my Nana and she gave us a gorgeous quilt that she made. We walked on the beach and just enjoyed being together and celebrating a fun and exciting year.
Thanksgiving we spent with the Bryan's parents and brother, and this year we spent it with their uncle Louie and his girlfriend Stephie and her son Austin. Then I spent it with my uncle before he left for rehab to deal with his alcoholism and deal with his attempted suicide that occurred the previous month.
Christmas this year was our craziest yet and we don't have any children yet. Christmas eve we went to Bryan's parents and did gifts with them. Then went to his aunt's house to spend time with his WHOLE family. Went home and did our Christmas together. Got food prepped before going to bed at 2am. Got up early started cooking food. While stuff was cooking we called my parents to open our gift over the phone. Then by 11am my aunt, cousins, and grandfather showed up to do Christmas at our house. Right after they all left we went back to Bryan's parents for another Christmas dinner. Left there and went to Annie's and had yet another Christmas with them. We ended our day by going to Nectar's in Burlington to watch Annie's cousin play. Talk about a long and crazy Christmas. Here we are in the middle of Jan. and I still need to get together with my brother ans sister. One of these days things might slow enough to get to doing it.
Other than these wonderful memories this year we have spent most of our time working and making a living that can support us and our future family.
Life always gets busy but you need to make time to stop and smell the roses. But always and forever you will have you family to be there to support you through everything.
