So Monday was my 6 month wedding anniversary! Which I know is not a huge deal but it was still fun to celebrate as it also happened to be our 4 year dating anniversary! So instead of going all out on Valentine's Day, we went out to a nice dinner. And because of a very generous Christmas present in the form of a gift card we were able to eat at a very swanky restaurant.

Two Houses Down, On The Right
I get it, after marriage we're supposed to cleave to our significant others and leave behind our old lives as daughters, sons, brothers, and sisters. But that doesn't mean it isn't hard! After the wedding in August, I packed up my apartment, said goodbye to my best friends, a steady job, and my family and moved up to New York. Now I don't regret this decision but it still hurts to be so far away from my loved ones and I think that's okay.
Let’s Do This! The Year of 2020
2019 has been an interesting but mostly good year! I started 2019 off with James in NYC, lived in a lovely apartment in Boston and saw my best friends on a mostly daily basis. Work was good, I got to travel, and James and I got engaged and married! While I didn't accomplish all of my New Year's Resolutions (yes I had multiple so that I would at least follow through with one) I still feel good about what I was able to do.
It’s the Little Things
Before James and I were married, I was excite about the wedding and living together and Before James and I were married, I was excited about the wedding and living together and having a kid. Real big picture stuff, you know? And the wedding was cool and living together has been going pretty well but over the last 4 months instead of looking at the journey of where we're headed, I find I'm enjoying the smaller moments in our life.
After the Wedding
James and I dated for 3 and a half years before we got married. We never lived together and for almost 2 years we did LDR. After our wedding in August, I moved to Ithaca, NY, James' hometown, and have settled into a home, job, and life here. Marriage is interesting, there are things that changed about our relationship and there are things that haven't changed.
The One With The Wedding
To be honest, I’m not sure I’m ready to talk about this yet. But the more I hesitate to talk or write about it, the more I realize that maybe others feel the same way as I do.
