Our First Christmas

Our first Christmas together.  First at our new home and then down to Iowa.  I am so thankful that we both have such wonderful and supportive families.

Our First Halloween

The Grim Reaper and Super Tax Girl.....aka......Death and Taxes

Our First House

When Mark and I met I had been planning on moving out of the apartment and at that time, buying a condo or a townhome.  After Mark and I started to get serious I decided to change my plans and buy a house.  Unfortunately, having a lot of student loans limits the amount of house you can buy.....

Fortunately, Mark and I are handy and resourceful (OK maybe mainly Mark).....

HUZZAH! aka meet my crazy family

So I told Mark that my family likes to go to the Renaissance Festival.  Mark thought that the Renaissance Festival was fun.  Then I mentioned that we liked to dress in period attire......you will notice Mark is not in this photo.

DC 2009

My sister Carissa lives in DC, and I try to get out there every couple of years or so to visit.  I had a wonderful trip with my Parents......

Meeting The Friends Part 2

Now on to meeting Mark's friends.  He is so lucky to have a great group of friends that he has known since high school (and some from childhood).  I feel very lucky to be included in such a caring, giving, and very fun group of people.

Meeting The Friends Part 1

After a few months of dating we decided that it was time to leave my apartment once in a while and meet our friends.  This is us at Music and Movies at Loring Park.  If you live in the Twin Cities it is definitely worth checking out.......

Our First Date

After several weeks of emailing each other on Match.com the big night finally arrived.  We had dinner at Chino Latino followed by a night out in Uptown.  We had a lot of fun together and I was already looking forward to our next date.
