Quite a few things have happened over these 6 mos. In Jan., I started a new company with 3 friends called The Caliber Group. We combined our respective management roster's together to form one company. We're still in the process of signing new acts and building the company.
Secondly, in Feb. we moved into our first house! It wasn't like we were looking to buy, we just happened to take a drive one cloudy Jan day to the metropolis of Spring Hill TN and happened upon a neighborhood and decided to look. Next thing you know, 3 weeks later we are applying for a mortgage. One month later, we moved in. We love our new home, having room to spread out and finding things we forgot we had. I especially love our bonus room (leather couch, flat screen TV, stereo and the XBOX 360), it's heaven.
Third, in March Bonnie and I decided to adopt..another dog. As I type this, Carly the Cavalier (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel) sits in lap antsy as can be, climbing on the keyboard making me correct typo's as she hits keys. This is Bonnie's first puppy, so she's getting to learn about the joys of puppy pee and just how much energy a now 4 month old puppy really has. Bonnie has also taught her 3 tricks. Buddy the big brother loves his sister, he says it keeps him young.
Finally and most importantly, in May we celebrated our one year anniversary on May 10th. We celebrated by taking a trip to Sanibel Island FL for a week. It was an amazing trip filled with rest, food, sun, naps, yahtzee, naps, scrabble, Law and Order Marathons (I think we watched 15 that week), alligators, naps, great food, bicycle rides and so much more.
It's hard to believe that a year has flown by. I can honestly say it was the best year of my life spending 365 days with my best friend and the love of my life. Some say the first year of marriage is the toughest, I only knew it as paradise. We learned so much about each other, about marriage and about love. I'm thankful that we went into the marriage as prepared as we could be with:
1. Being surrounded by amazing parents who portrayed great marriages
2. Amazing pre-marital counseling by Tom Tyndall at our church, Crosspoint Community
3. Realistic expectations that not everything would be exactly the way we wanted
The summer is ahead of us and lot's to do. Bonnie just got a new promotion (Woohoo!). She'll start traveling next week for her job. Her first trip is a rough one...to Boca Raton FL. In August we'll go to Las Vegas to celebrate our friend Brittany's 21st bday party.
Thanks for reading, I'll try not to wait so long next time!
