Wow! I cannot believe that I haven't blogged in almost 9 months! SO many things have happened in that amount of time I don't know where to begin.
I definitley started a blog at the wrong time, being in school full time out of town and only having three days a week with my sweet family and friends made it hard to sqeeze in any blogging time!~ Let's see, maybe a list will suffice for the things that have happened in those few months! :-)

1. Paul & I tied the knot, May 27th 2011. I know, finally right?! We were engaged for 16 months & were both beyond ready, it was a small fun wedding with close family & I wouldn't have had it any other way. We are so blessed!

2. June 4th 2011 our sweet little guy turned ONE!! Oh my goodness, It's amazing how fast time flew, he had WAY too many presents and was the messiest, cutest cake smasher in the whole world. He got quite a few big things; his first sandbox, first swingset, first car to ride on. Plus a million other gifts & he sure loved them all.

3. July 28th I finished school, which means I finished within 11 months. I have never been so proud of myself, I really busted my butt to finish (First in my class, YAY) & made honors, not that honors is hard to achieve in cosmo. hehe but had to have a little brag session. Anyways, I passed both my stateboard tests & will hopefully be working in the next couple of weeks, (still waiting on my license to come in the mail.) I'll be working at Shear Ellagance downtown. I am SO excited & just can't wait! I couldn't have done it without the love and support from all those who helped us & encourged me. We can't thank you enough. Not too mention, it was a blessing to meet a couple of the people I did at school, Vanessa and Wesley are the most down to earth people, & although we all live in different towns I hope to stay in touch with both of them, God knows I couldn't have lasted a day up there without seeing their faces to help the days go by! Although Christian was certainly my main source of motivation, he's a great little helper!

4. August 1st, we left for our Honeymoon to St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, WOW~ talk about beautiful. It was so green and water everywhere, big change from west tex. We stayed an awesome 6 days, had an all inclusisve deal (we kept the bloody mary's and pina coladas a comin'!) The food was the bomb & some of the beaches we visited were indescribingly beautiful. Now of course all the while, our baby was still here in Snyder, my mom & Pauls sister kept him for us, as much fun as we had there wasn't a moment that went by when I didn't think of his sweet little face, it was definitley one of the hardest things to do, we havent been away from him longer than a weekend (a short weekend) To make things even more fun Pauls parents came with us, we were so happy they were able to share it with us, they deserved it! There are so many more details, maybe I'll fill you in more through a seperate blog ;-)

5. Did I mention Christian is a WALKER!!! Eeeeeekkk!! I know. It has been the funnest thing ever, he looks just like a little man walking around the house. He really started taking off a week or so after we got home (thank goodness he waited) I was so worried we would miss it! He's just the greatest.

[6. Nothing too special but I finally found my perfect hobby, scrapbooking! Who knew? I'm addicted. Also latley I've been on this "re-creation craze" I keep buying things to re paint, re-decorate, & just totally redo, I've gotten a little ahead of myself in that department, but hopefully I'll get around to each thing at some point in time!

Well that's a shorter list than planned, but hey, at least it's detailed right? I'll have another blog just on Christians updates next.
Meanwhile, here are some pictures from the fun times you just read all about!
