Time ticks on...

I thought I was being pretty clever with that title! I came home from work the other night and this is what I saw...

Alan made me a mini Easter egg hunt!

I made a dollar fifty in quarters!

And at the end of the hunt, this is what I received:

Isn't he sweet?! I have been using those $8 watches from Target all through school, and we have been looking for a nicer watch for me, but I didn't know he knew my taste so well:) I really love it. It has a nice sparkle around the face that goes well with my ring, and rose gold to add a splash of me. Now I can tell time in style! Thank you Alan for being so thoughtful... What a great week this is turning out to be!

Side Note: For those of you who read The Love Languages book... I am not a "gift" person, but I think I could change:)

It's all about me...

So the background to the title is this...

Around New Year's, I was thinking about all the incredible things that are going to be happening this year and I just got so excited. I told Alan "2012 is going to be all about Me!" I meant it in a good way, but now I think it sounds kind of self absorbed... oh well. Alan agreed that this year is going to be very good to us, and we feel very blessed/fortunate to have so many wonderful experiences behind us as well as ahead of us. We count our blessings daily and it is so humbling to realize that the Lord truly does have a hand in our life.

2012 brings the following:

-I turn 27...

-I graduate and Will pass Boards to be able to practice as a licensed PA! wahoo!

-We are moving to Charlotte, NC for Alan to continue advancing in His career.

-We plan on buying our First Home while in Charlotte (anxiety/excitement levels UP!)

-We are going to Europe, my life long dream... for 18 days! Hello London, France, and ITALY!

See what I mean? It's all about me:) I am looking forward to every new adventure we have coming this year and can't wait for the fun to begin! Of course, every day with Alan is an adventure. We love this early spring time weather and today we took our blanket and books to the park. It was sooo nice! Sorry, no pics, but I wanted to update for my own sake this time and remind myself of this incedible time in our lives. Life is good!

Back to studying....
