Summer of 2012: New degree, new job, new last name.

The summer of 2012 has been an absolute whirlwind. After the most intense four months of my life (hence my unplanned hiatus from B@T), I'm happy to say the close of summer - Labor Day weekend - has come with an incredibly happy ending. And, more importantly, marked the beginning of that mysterious journey into "the happily ever after." 

On September 1st, 2012, John and I wholly and wonderfully accepted each other in a sunrise ceremony on the beach, a small party of family and friends as witnesses. Ten years of dating, of chaos, of triumph, of long-distance separation, and everything in between, we decided our joining in matrimony wasn't supposed to be a glitzy, over-the-top, stressful ordeal.  We needed sand, sunshine, and... waffles.

More details (and photos) to come soon. But, for now, John and I are in the last 24 hours of our mini-moon. As much fun and relaxing as this weekend has been, we are thrilled to return home and start our new life together - and, of course, start planning the "after party." :)

Stay tuned...

Hugs & high fives,
