January: Was actually my first year to ring in the new year with someone to kiss...yes, I never really dated many guys prior to Sean...the ones I did date didn't last long as I knew they weren't good enough.
February: Sean and I celebrated our first date as well as valentine's day.
March: St. Patrick's Day we went out, had some green beer and fun with friends. We also went to 'Frank's Place' where the owner gave Sean and I a "shot on the house" because we met at Frank's and were then engaged. Also, for Easter, we went and had 3 brunches again...which just thinking about makes me sick. Sean is always afraid of the Easter Bunny from the Sheraton...as that costume is 100 years old.
April: My birthday month...I guess we celebrated all month long! I think this is also when Sean started full time in Walgreen's management.
May: We housed a mother's day brunch...it was nice...until the injury! (Sorry aunt Lynda!) In the middle of this month, Sean and I both completed the Cleveland half marathon...such an amazing moment. At the end of this month we were off to our first wedding of the summer...we had 6 weddings in total for this summer.
June: We were both in a wedding on 6/7/08. This was Sean's birthday month; and we had a surprise birthday party for him; which he was VERY shocked when he arrived.
July: We took my nephews to the 4th of July parade...my favorite thing to do; so much candy too...and fire trucks Stevie! We also had a cookout, and went to see fireworks. The fourth is by far my favorite holiday. We also finished up all of the final touches for our wedding planning.
August: We tied the knot! It was such a beautiful day...when we weren't crying with joy we were smiling ear to ear. Our honeymoon was also such an amazing time...I would do that again in a heart beat!
September: We were back to reality.
October: We traveled down to TN to see Christina get married. This was a long drive, but such a fun trip! We started our Christmas shopping for our family and friends....this was a lot of fun for him and I to do; we actually took time to find meaningful gifts. For Halloween, we had a good time at a friends' house...we dressed up as college students...lol...jeans and a logo'd sweatshirt!
November: Voted for Election 2008...what good citizens we were. We found out that we are expecting our first bundle of joy! We couldn't be happier about next year at this time...
December: We wrapped all our Christmas presents...had a Christmas party for our friends...and celebrated Christmas together and with family. (see most recent post for Christmas memories).
