...1 year...

I cannot believe Brandon and I have been married for 365 days...well 367 now. It has been an incredible year and what an adventure. As corny as this sounds we really bring out the best in each other and I love that about us. We have been through adjustment with lifestyle, building a house, camping:), school, and just life. It has been GREAT and I love it!! We started out our anniversay festivities the weekend after I graduated we went to a nice dinner and then attempted to eat the top of our cake...haha I was told to do it the first night of our honeymoon or to order another top of our cake in a year, I wanted to stick to tradition and eat OUR cake. It was the most discusting thing I had ever eaten of course I ate it first and saved B-Dawg the trouble of being grossed out...so we played with the fondant that had glitter...that was fun!! We had fun just dorkin around.We went to Disneyworld for our anniversary...it really is the happiest place on earth! It was a blast and we LOVED being kids for a few days. We flew all night and had a lay-over for a few hours. We arrived to our hotel at 9:00 a.m. and were so lucky to have our room ready...we took nap for a few and then it was off to Animal Kingdom which was awesome!! The best part of Animal Kingdom was the lion that we saw on the safari, he was gorgeous!! We played there for the rest of the day and headed to every park at least twice for the rest of our trip...the park hopper is AMAZING and fast passes ROCK!! We rode my favorite ride the rockin' roller coaster at least 6 times...no joke. The longest ride we waited for the entire trip was the safari and we waited about an hour...diseneyworld rocks and I love it. I cried on the way back to the airport (sad I know) when the sang M-I-C (see you real soon)K-E-Y (why? because we like you) M-O-U-S-E. I love it (for all you former Rockettes, do you remember Lori at nationals...ha ha that is how I felt I was giddy there). It was a great trip and I love being able to spend time with Brandon and I am so lucky that he stuck with me through our dating years with my shallow behavior, dumb girlness ( I know that is not a word), cheating (kind of...not in my world it wasn't cheating) self and married me!! What a guy...

...finally...

I finally GRADUATED...well kind of; I have 450 hours of my internship with the State before I have that silly piece of paper in my hand. Graduation was awesome aside from the fact that I was sicker than a DOG. The entire week I had not felt a 100% but of course the little bug that was inside of me decided it was time to exit the day of graduation. Oh how I marked my territory on the I201!! I basically pucked all day long, but thanks to adrenaline I was able to make it through the ceremony, which was awesome!! I am very lucky to have met the people I did in the Social Work department...they all rock. I am also so so thankful for my amazing husband and family for coming out and spoiling me rotten...I LOVE YOU for always being there!!

My aunt from New Jersey came out to watch the blessed event. I love my Tara Jo!! My mom, grandma, and Tara Jo came and hung out with me on Friday I still didn't feel good so we watched a mini marathon of Hulk knows best and Ellen and I decided I had it in me to go to gateway and dinner...I made it through. I love my family and I am so thankful for them...I love the girls:)
