One Year Later

One year ago (plus the month that it took me to write this), Amanda and I headed across the country in a Beetle with a rather annoyed cat in the backseat.  The past year has been awesome in so many ways, and we decided to celebrate in a couple different ways...


First off, we celebrated with a Foster the People concert.  This band was one of the CDs we listened to quite a bit on the drive over (what's impressive is that we actually had a CD...who uses CDs anymore?!), and they will always remind us of that long road trip to our new life. (To be fair, this song will always remind me of that drive as well.)

It was a great concert in a great venue. We only got lost 2 or 3 times on the way there. Seriously.



 We also participated in a Color Run, which is a fun 5K that takes place nationwide. It was so much fun! To the right, everyone is getting excited for the race to start.



Amanda and I were making sure that we got doused in blue. Really, it's the best color ever (GO BLUE!!!)...no bias.





Nearing the finish line!
Alright, I know I look ridiculous here, but it one of the only "after" pictures I have that has both Amanda and me.  Not sure how that happened.



This year, I also met a pretty amazing and special guy.  He is so great :)
And how can I not highlight our newest hobby? This was the spread for our one-year celebratory pool party: Strawberry chocolate chip, Mango-Pineapple, Mimosa, Peanut Butter Cup, and Banana Nutella. They were all a hit!

So there it is: one year later, and we're still going strong! Here's to hoping there are many many more equally awesome years in our future!
