What a Difference a Year Can Make

One year ago today, I said yes to a very important question from a very cute boy with a very sparkly ring.  (If you'd like more detail than that, click here to read the full he-said/she-said story.) .


Within the last 365 days, the following events have occurred.

- We celebrated The Boy from Texas 29th birthday in Gruene.


-  I bought a white dress.


- The Boy from Texas got a new job.

- The Boy from Texas moved to a new town.

-  I somehow convinced my bosses to let me transfer my job to a new town 9 hours away from College Station.

- The Boy from Texas got a new pick up.





-  I moved.

-  We said I do.




- I turned 31.

- My friend and I ran my third half marathon jokingly saying we wanted to do it before we got pregnant.  (Be careful about such jokes....we are both due less 5 days apart).

- We sold my house in College Station.

-  We went skiing (little did we know at the time there was a growing baby under my green jacket!)


- We bought an adorable little house.



-  We found out we would be adding a third person to that adorable little house in 9 months.


- Our attempt to announce our news to may parents in a creative way was a major flop.

- We announced our news to the public.

- We started adding onto our little house.

- We road tripped with my Dad to Iowa to buy a ram.


- We let Big Jake announce some big news about The Baby from Texas.


- We got a tractor.


- Our dog (and my favorite running buddy) died.






Whew.....anyone else tired?

I don't know what the next year will hold.  But I do know that I thank God every day for The Boy from Texas and the chaos that is our life.  He has made dreams come true that I didn't even know I had.  There is no one in the world I would rather be on this little adventure with.

I'm very glad I chose the right answer to a very important question from a very cute boy with a very sparkly ring one year ago today.
