What a Year

We are approaching a very memorable anniversary in the next few weeks and it has reminded me about a what a year MDK and I had. In the last 12 months we moved to CA, got engaged, moved to Wisco, beat unemployment, celebrated our wedding, and moved back to MPLS into our new house! It kind of makes me want to throw up recounting it all in one sentence and I sometimes wonder how we did it. But, just doing it is what has prepared us to make the commitments we have this year.

We had to learn quickly how to support each other when all we had was one another. The amount we grew together definitely solidified that we had found our best partners in each other. We have great memories that we will always cherish and it helped us to decide where we truly wanted to be...back in MPLS.

I thank MDK for sticking by side with the crazy idea to move and letting us both learn together. We had our heartaches and growing pains, but in the end we did it together. Luckily, we see light at the end of our crazy year and enjoy the calm of a great house and each other. (Yes, I miss CA wineries...but, I know I can always visit).

I also wanted to go back to my 2011 in Review post where I mention by 2012 things to look forward to:

• Moving back to MPLS-- being closer to the friends/fam and for me- closer to the airport is a win!
• Becoming LMK-- oh boy was it all fun now that it is done! The name change part is annoying...but I like the change!
• Maybe buying our first place!-- tears and learned lots, but it is awesome when you find the "one"!
• And of course, random travel and tons of memories with friends and family... -- We honeymooned in Aruba, but plan to hit the road for travel again to visit the C's down south!

So with all of that...bring it on 26th year :)

Have a Nice Day!
