Wow, what a year 2010 was. So many good things happened, along with so many not so good thing. But overall it was an amazing year because I married the love of me life! Starting our journey as husband and wife has been a wonderful blessing.
A lot happened at the end of 2010, so I’ll recap a few things here. Chandler graduated from OSU with an industrial engineering & management degree. It was amazing to see him walk across that stage and accept his diploma. He has worked SO hard. On top of that, he was able to bring his GPA up to a 3.0, and he passed the fundamentals of engineering – the first step to becoming a professional engineer. He was also lucky (more like he worked his ass off),Ā to receive more than one job offer before/after his graduation on Dec. 18.
As for me, when I told my boss we were moving and that I had to quit, she offered me the opportunity to work remotely. I am thrilled beyond belief! We also hired a marketing firm and I am really excited to learn from them and get a lot of cool things done.
Christmas fell exactly one week after Chandler’s graduation, and the day after that (the 26th) we moved out of Stillwater. It was… hard. Stillwater has been our home for 5+ years. Not to mention, the apartment (36F) we moved into together in the summer of 2009 was our first home together and Roma’s first home. I miss the town of Stillwater itself, every day. I love Oklahoma City and I’m excited for our new adventure, but Stillwater will always hold a very special place in my heart.
After only two days of living in OKC, we joined our friends Justin and Kim, and headed to San Antonio for the Alamo Bowl. OSU played Arizona and we whooped their butts! It was amazing. It was Chandler’s graduation present, as well as our one year anniversary present to each other.
As for the day of our actual anniversary, we spent the day hanging out and then we went to Chili’s we gift cards we’d gotten for Christmas. It was a wonderful day.
So that brings us to today. Today Chandler will officially be accepting a job. The job he’s wanted so badly from the start. I am so proud of him for all he has accomplished, and just for being the man that he is.
We were talking the other night about how much our lives our going to change with two salaries. We feel so broke right now, but we know we’re going to look back and cherish these times. I just hope I always remember all the little moments we had our first year of marriage.
Til next time,
Meg
