I do believe it is. Sorry about that! We'v been married for 6 months and I haven't written a single thing.
Well, maybe that's not true. I've written in a journal once or twice.
Hence the blog makeover. I'm not trying to get published or even noticed in a Google search. I just like to write. And, sometimes, I will write a lot. Sometimes I won't write for, umm, 8 months.
So what have I done the past 8 months? Let me recap:
February, March and the first half of April were spent working on the final details of the wedding.
The wedding was at the end of April. I really loved the day itself. Really loved having family and friends in one place. Really loved how it all turned out. Then, really loved going on vacation right after.
Once we got back from the honeymoon, my summer at work really went into overdrive. We had events from May through July. That is pretty much how the summer was spent: Summer Camps, Vacation Bible School, and Volunteer Appreciation. Throw in a couple of swim parties, awards nights, and tons of planning meetings for fall 2012 and early 2013 and there is my summer.
My dad's entire side of the family (all 13 of us total!haha) went to Las Vegas in early August to celebrate my Grandparent's 50th Wedding Anniversary. Their actual anniversary was just before our wedding, this was the best time for all of us to get together to celebrate them. We had a great time there but don't think we will be going back. Unless you like to party and drink or unless you are super rich to go shopping, there isn't really much to do there...except walk up and down the strip. We did that a lot. People watching was a big thing to do as well.
September meant getting ready to go back to South Africa. I will write more about that later. The trip was from the end of September to almost the middle of October. I loved being back there. It is like a home away from home. The way we are treated by our hosts over there is just like family. I think the fact that we get to stay in the same place each year helps with that. Being familiar with your surroundings in an unfamiliar place helps make the long trip not so long.
Coming back and jumping into the middle of October means getting ready for our Fall Family Festival. I'm pretty pumped for this event. It is one of my favorites we do.
That is the past 8 months in a nutshell. Tonight is a quiet night at home, switching channels between the World Series and currently the final season of The Office.
I'm excited for things to slow down for us. Not that they ever really do, but we are learning to work with crazy schedules.
I'm excited to see where this new phase in life will take us and excited to see how much I will write about it...or not.
