January started out a little rough for us with the passing of John's Grandpa. The world lost a wonderful man, but he lived a good, long life and was surrounded by people he loved and who loved him in return.
This time last year, the Wedding was fast approaching and February and March were filled with Bridal Showers and Bachelor/Bachelorette parties. We were making last minute plans and meetings, and getting all of our Wedding ducks in a row. Through all of the craziness, 3 weeks before the wedding, we moved out! We got our first apartment together (well, first apartment EVER really for both of us).
We were hearing Wedding bells before we knew it! April came so fast, but that month was filled with so much love and excitement. We were so grateful to see all of our family members who were able to make it to the wedding from near and far. We had such a blast and the day could not have gone better.
Following the wedding, John and I took a week long cruise to the Mexican Riviera for our Honeymoon. We ate delicious food, met some really fun people, danced (A LOT), and walked lots throughout our two destinations.
May and June went by without much excitement. But, then July rolled around...
I started my new position at work in July. I'm making the commute to Mission Viejo, my new retail home. Angel stadium hosted a series of concerts over the summer to celebrate their 50th Anniversary. In that line-up of musical acts was my favorite man of country (some people know that I call him my boyfriend), Dierks Bentley. John and I got tickets to the game to enjoy the concert after the game and ended up with field level passes! I was so excited! Here is a picture to show you just how close we were! OK, it was zoomed in just a little...
I think he is pointing at me ;)
In August, we celebrated John's birthday. I also got the chance to spend quite a bit of time with Kandace. Her flight got pushed back a whole week because of a Hurricane, which meant she got to spend more time with me! We spent lots of time lounging by the pool, and going to the beach.
October, November, and December flew by so fast with the craziness of the holiday season in retail. But here are some highlights...
- John began working at an electrical company, and started a job with Best Buy. Guitar Center will no longer be a part of his everyday life.
- Halloween!
- We shared Thanksgiving with our wonderful family.
- We celebrated my Grandmas 84th birthday at Disneyland!
- We celebrated holiday parties, and gift exchanges with friends.
- Our first Christmas together was both fun and exhausting!
- And finally our first New Year's together was spent at home, because the flu decided to take me out on New Year's Eve. Awesome. BUT....Spending the night lounging on the couch in our pajamas and watching movies was a nice way to start the New Year.
So here is to 2012 and all that it has to bring! I am excited to take it on and make it even better than the last!
