Dan & Jamie's Wedding

Our first wedding as an engaged couple.  That's my father-in-law off to the left.  He seems to approve of the match :)

Our Enagagememt

On June 13, 2013, Mark S got on bended knee in front of Niagara Falls and asked for my hand in marriage.  Ladies....note the size of the ring...there was no way that I was going to say no ;)

Matt & Steph's Wedding

Most of the gang traveled to Ithaca, NY to celebrate Matt & Steph's wedding.  It was a great time.  The next day we continued to trip to nearby Niagara Falls.

This was the first big trip for Mark and I.  We determined that we travel well together :)

Kristina's Graduation

My sister Kristina graduated from University of Iowa and the whole family made it down to Iowa City, IA to celebrate with her.  Go Hawkeyes!

Our One Year Anniversary

We headed back to Chino Latino for Sake Bombs to celebrate one year together.  BONZAI!!!!

Grandma's 80th Birthday

I am from a large family (the oldest of 7 children).  My mother is also from a large family (the oldest of 10 children).  As you can imagine, I have a lot of cousins.  This is only a small group of the grandchildren who were able to celebrate Grandma's 80th birthday with her.

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.
