First Official Post!

The past year has been a whirlwind, with emotions ranging from despair to utter happiness. Right now I'm in a beautiful place in my life and am looking forward to a bright future with the love of my life, my family, and my best friends. While trying to enjoy my last summer in Quincy, IL, I'm anxiously awaiting the return of my fiance. Jonathan is working very long days in Afghanistan for another 3-4 months. He bought a house last August in St. Peters, MO and I couldn't be more excited to move in and really make it OUR home. The wedding will be May 7, 2011 and then I will be a full time city girl... if you can really count living in the suburbs of St. Louis as the "city." I'm not really sure what the theme of this blog will be except to chronicle my story as we embark on this adventure called life, plus any other tidbits I find on the way! Even though my mom's probably the only one who will ever read it...
