hello there,
January 28, the date of my last blog post. I was in Phuket, Thailand, finishing up a 2 week excursion with my number one boo. Looking back on my blog I have noted now that I never even finished blogging my trip... I missed the very last day... That's how bad I am at blogging... For those that have been sitting at the edge of their seat for the last nine months assuming that the only reasonable explanation for my online silence is death, I apologize for the grief I have caused you and assure you of my wellbeing.
That trip to Asia feels like a lifetime ago. Perhaps it's because it took place in a different life (metaphorically). A lot has changed in my life in the last nine months (also nine months is a horrible time frame to say a lot has changed, let's be real, our minds go only one place when we hear "nine months"). And a lot may actually be an understatement.
Let's fast forward from January 28, 2016 to today, September 27, 2016. In the past nine months I have graduated from university with a Bachelor's of Arts Degree with a Major in Sociology and Extended Minor in Media Communications (I genuinely still get nightmares of the university calling and saying I'm shy one course and I have to go back, those dreams are the worst). I started working full time for the first time since I started my degree like a real adult would (it's great because I have the best job in the world, not so great cause I don't have time to explore as much as I would like to). And as I sit here typing to you I am sitting on a couch, in a family room, in a home I inhabit without my parents. That's right people. Miracles happen. I no longer live with my parents. So needless to say I've been busy.
Oh, yeah.
I also got married.
*gasps*
*what*
*the chronically single tied the knot*
Yeah, that happened.
It actually started sometime in Vietnam. I was Facetiming my boyfriend late one night from a hotel room in Vietnam when he asked me to send him information on the engagement ring I liked. I asked him what he meant, I'd only been gone for 4 days. He told me that's all it took (that, and months of prayer and discussion of whether this was what God was calling us to next). So, just 3 days shy of our 6 months dating anniversary, a few weeks after my return from Asia, on the top of mountain overlooking the ocean, the most incredible man I've ever known asked me to marry him. I said "of course". Fast forward 3 and a half months and we were married.

That was just over 3 months ago. It all still seems like the greatest dream I ever dreamt and it's all my new reality, my constant forever, life as I now know it.
So what's the purpose of this blogpost? Well like every other blogpost I post, it's my attempt to resurrect my blog, make some shallow commitment to being a committed blogger... I figure at some point, something will click. Some day I'll find my niche, my direction...? Right....? Gosh, I hope so, or I will have bored a lot of people with some very weak aspirations.
For now I leave you with an image of our latest adventure to Folley Lake in Chilliwack, BC.
I'll talk to you again in a year.
Kidding...
I hope I'm kidding...
