A Note from the Past

I still feel really bad this blog has gone downhill. I know tons of awesome stuff has happened that I would have loved to write about so I could remember from the unique perspective of 'what I was thinking at the time'. It is unfortunate that I have missed a lot of those opportunities. I guess I have been too busy having the greatest time of my life with my wife, Alejandra. I went to Buenos Aires again at the end of April and then she came back with me. We got married on June 8th. I sometimes can't contemplate how I ever found someone so awesome or why the hell she likes me but I'm slowly getting used to it.

Here is a list of some of the stuff that has gone on this year
  • Our first social event as a married couple (the day after our wedding), Anne & Ryan's wedding
  • She is a pro couponeer. We've saved a ton of money on food already
  • She has helped me with my health and losing weight by identifying things I shouldn't eat as much and by preparing me pre-made homemade lunches to take to work
  • She can make Red Lobster cheddar biscuits like a boss
  • We helped my dad and family move out of the house on Loving Road
  • We went to the NHL Draft together
  • We took the boy to his first concert, Phish
  • We went to lots of parks and met our friends and went swimming and had picnics
  • We set up our home network
  • Took a swimming vacation back to my dad's after they were settled in from moving
  • She accompanied me to The Legend of Zelda : Symphony of the Goddesses
  • We bought a brand new car together (my first ever, 2012 Toyota Prius)
  • She is still trying to help me learn Spanish
  • We made fondue and drank wine
  • We often play the same iPhone games at the same time as well try and beat and trophy PS3 games together
  • We took the boy to Idewild for the Credit Union's Family Picnic day. The lifeguard jumped in the wave pool to fish him out. Was that really necessary?
  • We went disc golfing with an old Miller co-worker buddy. 
  •  
    I will never finish this post because the things just keep piling up so I'll just stop here. The best part is how she constantly tells me how happy she is. I'll never get used to how awesome that makes me feel.
