It has been almost a year since I last posted. I need to be more diligent about writing. Life has been a roller coaster since I last wrote.

Last year, I was planning my June wedding to Tim. It took place on June 30th in the not so sunny corner of California. We took plenty of pictures in the Redwood trees on Tuesday of the wedding week. It was nice, sunny, and everything was so green. We enjoyed it. Had a great rehearsal dinner. We finished it off with a bon fire on the beach. Could not have asked for a better time. Our wedding was amazing. Mom and dad did awesome putting it all together. The only thing that was not really planned for was the rain. Had some great pictures taken in the rain. It was a small and intimate ceremony. We left that evening to go to the airport for our extremely early flight.

We decided on Yellowstone for our honeymoon. I really enjoyed it. I cannot wait to go back. We stayed there for about a week at a ranch just outside the park. We explored the park for two days. Spent the 4th in town and our last day we spent on horse back. Never fly after riding horse for 6 hours. Man we were so stiff the next day. We had problems with our flights home. I also tossed out the word honeymoon a few times especially when they wanted us to give up our seats.

The first few months of our marriage was trying to get into the swing of sharing beds and taking care of his mom's house. There were many sleepless nights as we trying to adjust to sleeping together.

At the beginning of October, Tim's grandpa died. We made a quick trip to Montana. Definitely did not pack according to the weather. It was cold and snowing and raining. But the day of the funeral, it was sunny but still on the cold side.

At the end of October, a friend of mine passed away unexpectedly. His death everyone who knew him hard. We were not able to make the funeral due to things out of our control. I was able to make it to Seattle to visit with his wife and my college roommate. It was a great rip. I am so thankful that Tim allowed me to go. It was a great present.

At the beginning of December, Tim and I were told that our rent was going to go up in price June 1st. The price increase is more than a house payment. So we decided to look for a house. We found one that we liked and put an offer on it. She rejected our offer so we decided to more forward and look at other places. We recently just found another house and put an offer on this one. They countered and we accepted their offer. However, we did not get the house. we are still tying to figure out what happened. It is a foreclosure which was being sold by this online company. They decided to open it up to all offers in a 24 hour period. When that closed it looed like we got the house. But our agent got an email saying that we did not get the house. Our offer was being a back up offer. Dad is looking into things. Have not heard anything yet. The website says under contract, the MLS listing says Active.
