Time flies when you're having fun
This past Thursday was the 11-month mark since our wedding. We're also approaching the 8-month milestone of moving into our house (it still feels new to us). The Boy and I are both in complete astonishment that time has passed so quickly.
Where did the time go, you ask? Here's a brief rundown of the the past year.
We:
- Got married.
- Backpacked around Europe for 5 weeks.
- Came back home with the idea of casually house hunting, only to make an offer on our current home within about 2 weeks of our return. We've decided that we're incapable of doing anything casually.
- Resumed grad school, me taking two classes in the fall and again in the spring, and The Boy taking his last class for his masters degree. The Boy will be starting working towards his Sixth Year Certificate this coming fall.
- The Boy working as an adjunct professor, teaching two freshman composition classes each semester.
- Juggled homework and work with packing up our house and dealing with impossible sellers who made us jump through insane hoops.
- FINALLY got all of our stuff moved into the house and put away in time to have our annual Christmas party.
- Paid off all of our credit card debt (we just made the last payment... yay!).
- Started clearing out the jungle that is our yard. This will likely take us the rest of our lives.
We hear all the time from friends that we're the busiest people they know. Now that it's all laid out like that, it's easy to see why they say it!Labels: happenings, marriage, the boy, the fam, the girl
It's Official
Japan is one of the oddest places on earth. I so totally want to visit.
