Its been quite a long while..

Wow, I guess I should log into this more often then I do!! Alot has happened since March!!

Hmmm.. Brief summeries of each month..

April - This was a daunting month because Jeffrey was in a serious car accident and was taken to the hospital, ended up having 2 cracked ribs and 2 fratures in his fibia and tibia. Not cool at all!! It was tough to have to deal with him being in pain and being the only income in the household since he was off work for 2 months. Along with him not working I found out that the company I worked for was going out of business at the end of April. One month was all we had left to get rid of everything in the store, shitty timing for me to be losing my job.

May - We went off to Oregon to scope out our wedding site and apply for our marriage licence, this was a trip of many emotions after having to go through the whole car accident ordeal and to have him be on crutches and pretty immobile. We applied for our marriage certificate in Astoria and did some wedding shopping for the groomsmen and random stuff we needed for the wedding, it was still 2 months away but time flew for sure.

June - Was pretty relaxed for the most part, we did a lot of wedding planning and such since I was no longer employed. Watching your pride and joy get torn to shreds by asshole customers was the worst, I only showed up everyday until the very end because I was the only income and I had a responsibility to support my family.

July - Was the big month for us.. I married the love of my life July 11th, 2009 in Clatskanie Oregon. Ohh what a feeling it was to walk down the aisle and exchange vows with the man I will spend the rest of my life with. It was a small 40 person wedding with our most intimate family & friends, windy and slightly cold but that was a given since we were on the Columbia River.

August - Was low key as we just enjoyed being married and taking the time to enjoy each others company, nothing really worth writing home about happened! Ohh wait.. my sister got engaged to her boyfriend of 2 years Ryan! This was an exciting moment as a big sister, I was lucky enough to have her stand beside me at my wedding and she asked me to stand beside her at her own wedding. They set a tenitive date for April 2012 but as I write this the date has change to April 30th, 2011.

September - We took a trip down to Southern California to see Jeffrey's family. This was the first time I would meet his Uncle Ken, Aunt Cindy, cousins Christina & Brandon, and his grandparents. I at times felt as though I didn't fit the "Southern California style" that they all upheld.. I am most comfortable in jean and t-shirt not 20lbs of make up and fancy Gucci/Coach stuff.

October - Nothing super exciting happened, my brother and his wife celebrated their first wedding anniversary and I went home for Thanksgiving.

November - Another boring month for the most part, I was still job hunting with no luck. We took my parents to see Jeff Dunham in Tacoma. I have never seen my parents laugh so much in one night! We added another addition to our family, Jeffrey and mom picked out a small little kitty whom we named Sadie. She's so tiny and cute and although it took a week for her and Milo to get use to each other they are buddies now.

December - We spent our first Christmas as husband and wife down in Southern California with Jeffrey's family.. That was a different change of scenery for once, I know he wanted to be with his family since we always get to see mine but it felt like just another vacation instead of Christmas.

Well that's the jist of the last few months leading to January 2010! A whole new year of excitement and hopefully less stress then 2009!

Until the end of time,
Jennifer.
