Lets try this again...

I started up a blog a few months back to keep everyone up-to-date on James and I...well you can see I didn't do such a great job. LOTS has happened since August of 2011! Here is a brief recap:

August - January 2012: James was deployed to Afghanistan. I moved in with my parents during the 5 month stint. Thanks to modern technology we were able to keep in contact from across the world!!
January 16th: James returned stateside and I officially moved to Hampton, VA.
January 19th - 22nd: We took a long weekend trip to Washington, DC...kind of like a 2nd honeymoon :-)
January 26th - 29th: Drove down to North Carolina to see James' parents for the 1st time since returning from overseas.
February 22nd - 26th: Merry Christmas!! We drove to New Jersey and then to New York to spend our "Christmas" together. During this trip I was able to meet a lot of James' family. I also had my 15 seconds of fame on the Dave Letterman show!

March 15th: Moved into our new apartment...what we like to call our "1st home" together since we were able to pick it out and furnish it ourselves (previously lived in Army housing)...still working on getting the kinks fixed...ugh!
March 19th - 24th: We took a short trip back to Colorado to see my family and load up the Santa Fe with the essentials we would need for our new apartment...my bride-brain was on overload when packing last June, apparently essentials did not include towels or sheets...oops! Friday morning we hopped in the vehicle and headed east...Saturday evening we arrived home - it was a beautiful road trip across country!
April 8th: Easter...our 1st holiday spent together as husband and wife. I tried my best to make it traditional, but a broken oven made it a bit difficult ;-)
April 14th: Surprise Birthday weekend in Williamsburg...visited the Jamestown Fort, took a food tour of Merchant Square, learned how to make wine at the Williamsburg Winery and tried to solve a 70s Murder Mystery while enjoying a 4 course meal...yep, my tummy was full by the end of the day!!

**I have more pictures on my camera, but haven't put them on my computer yet.

Life has been a whirlwind of fun and adventures since marrying the love of my life! My plan is to keep this blog more up to date...check back soon!
