Making Plans

I know, I'm horrible at this blogging thing. I've said that in over half my posts. butttttttttttt I'll be back soon. I was looking at this old post, about my bucket list. and I'd like to be more proactive and realistic about it. I want to really live. Then I found this, 101 Things in a 1,001 days. A blog post by a fellow blogger I enjoy reading. I'd LOVE to do that. So I'm going to compile one. See you then. :)

Its been so long!

I haven't blogged in FOREVER, But I come bearing wedding pictures so don't be mad! My good friend Apryl just started a new blog and that made me remember mine. What a good outlet, I shouldn't let this go to waste. The last time I posted I posted all of our wedding plans. None of that happened. Instead we had an AMAZING wedding that had to be replanned at the very last minute. I'll add some pictures at the end of this post. My two amazing aunts threw me a beautiful bridal shower and my awesome sister threw me a wild bachelorette party. It was more than I ever could of dreamed of. We were married on October 22, 2011. After the wedding we went to San Francisco, California for our honeymoon. It was the most amazing trip I had ever taken. I had a lot of new experiences and we came home on the morning of my little squishy bear's first birthday. So yes, all of that happened in the months I didn't update. I hope you understand. Taryn a year old, I can't believe it. Since then things have slowed way down. The update for now is that I'm actively looking for work because we'd like to have our own place. I don't like living at my in-law's house as newly weds but I am so thankful they are allowing and even want us to. They're helping us out tremendously by not expecting us to pay them anything. In other words they are being parents. :) I'm also contemplating going back to school. I'd really like to. Its just going to take sooo long. *Whines. I know that if I would stop worrying about how long its going to take and just get it over with I could have already been done. I'll probably go back for what I wanted to do when I first started college after high school, and thats teaching. I'm still a little undecided though. In a little more than a week we're going on our annual camping trip with the whole family at Martin Dies jr state park. Its amazing and beautiful there.I'm excited!! We'll be going for eight days! Its Jeffrey and mine favorite thing all year. Can I just take a quick second to say how much I love to be apart of a family with traditions?? I LOVE that. I thrive on stability and routine. Anyway, and in July we are going to florida for three weeks with the family and going to all of the amusement parks and renting a house. So I have a lot of cool things to look forward to. I'm working on getting a puppy... or a baby LOL, I'm kidding. But I do need a  puppy I need something to love and nurture. I've been feeling that a lot recently. Thats about it lately. Until next time, Here are some pictures of our wedding:
