January-February
These months were quite uneventful. We were right in the middle of planning for our wedding. With that and work, we didn't do a whole lot of anything really.
March
This was fun month because the girls threw me a my bachelor-ette party. We went to Omaha and stayed in a hotel. We went out to eat and then hit the bars. It was a great time. I can't thank you guys enough for such a wonderful night! It really meant a lot to me.
April
This month we had such a busy time it seemed like. Between my birthday, Lori (Brandons' mom's birthday), and a bridal shower. I turned the big 26! :) It was very exciting! We got a lot of family time in and so great gifts from our family and friends. Thank you to all who helped plan everything.
May
During this month we were both getting everything done for the wedding! We made most everything that we had at our wedding so this took some real time. We made our flowers, centerpieces, unity candle, and our invitations. It was all worth it in the end. We saved so much money.
June
School finished and it was our wedding time :)) We had our rehearsal dinner at our good friends house. She was very gracious to open her home to us and our family. It was BBQ style and a ton of fun. We got married June 4, 2010. It was the best night of our lives. We had a 7 pm ceremony and had a dessert reception. A chocolate fountain and 5 flavors of cake and 7 different flavors of cheese cake. It was a great time! We want to say thank you so much to our parents for helping with things. My good friend Brandie took the pictures for our wedding and they turned out amazing!
After our wedding we went on our honeymoon to the Black Hills. We stayed in a bed and breakfast. Our first time to do so. It was a great experience and we will definitely be going back some day. We went to pretty much everywhere you could and would want to go out in the hills. It was a great week spent together.
July was a nice month. Not a whole lot happening. We were getting all settled in and used to being a married couple. It was nice. I was off for summer break and we went to Okaboji with Brandon's family. It's kinda yearly tradition. We also went to the Omaha Zoo with Brandon's family.I took my certification test for the third time.(Cross your fingers) So fun! It was a nice way to spend the summer.
These months were pretty calm. I started back to school in August. I'm in the fifth grade once again. Brandon is still doing well at his job at Campbell's. He loves what he does. We went to a Halloween party at our good friend Deb's house. It was a good time for sure. I went as pumpkin pie and Brandon was dryer lint. Cheap but very cute costumes. (Sorry no pictures)
November
This was a big month for us as a married couple. We bought our first house! It is in Vermillion, SD. That is where Brandon works. It is a two story 1918 bungalow style house. I love all the wood in it and don't have any pictures yet. I want to get it all painted and decorated before I show it off! We are all unpacked and loving every minute in our new house. :) I finally got my results of my certification test! I PASSED :) Now I get a pay raise and don't loss my job for next year! What an amazing November! We were stuck in Vermillion for Thanksgiving. We got to break in our new house and make our first Thanksgiving dinner by ourselves.
December
This was a wonderful month! We got to go home for Christmas this year! I will let the pictures speak for themselves! :)
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!! WE LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH! THANK YOU FOR A GREAT YEAR!
