An Incredible Year in Review

I have decided that I wanted to slow down and take the time to reflect upon how lucky we are and what a great year and life we have been given. I want to share and look back upon all the things in life Jeff and I share together as a family. Plus, since we live away from our own family this could be a way to quickly share what is going on in our lives. 

Here is a review of the past year!

September 11, 2010-Jeff proposed to me when he was visiting me in Marion. It was the most beautiful and perfect ring ever! We set a date for June 11, 2011. The rest of the year went quickly as he was living and working in Belleville and I was teaching 4th grade at a new school in Carterville.

March 2011-Jeff was able to move to Marion with me when he accepted a job as Aisin. It finally started to feel like things were coming together and just in time! We were getting married in less than 3 months!

June 11, 2011-Jeff and I were married at his dad's house back home. It was the perfect wedding for him and I and we were lucky to share the day with friends and family. We spent the next week honeymooning in the Riviera Maya, Mexico!

June 20, 2011-Jeff and I closed on our first home. We had been looking at homes for about a month and none of them gave us that "feeling". I had noticed on the Century 21 website that a cute home had come up for sale in Herrin but was part of the Carterville school district. We were the first people to look at the home and we knew right away it was the one for us! We put in an offer that day and set to close on it when we returned from our honeymoon. We spent the summer painting, decorating, and getting our new home ready!
