Progress Report

The following has happened since the last time I wrote (I promise to update more regularly from now on):

**In no particular order**

1. First and foremost, I got married to my best friend, my soul mate, my companion for life. Our wedding was beautiful and we couldn't have asked for a better day!

2. I got to meet my grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins from around the country and around the world after many many years. Seeing them has definitely intensified my travel bug and I'm anxious to go visit all of them!

3. I have realized that some people are truly not worth stressing out about. Like my twin cousin says, "Accept, don't expect." He expanded this idea to mean that instead of expecting people to behave a certain way, we should just accept the way they actually behave. That way, we can not only accept the fact that there is no point in wasting time over people who constantly let you down, but also become more aware of the people who will stand by you through everything. I have applied this philosophy to my life recently and I have never felt more free.

(That's enough emo-ness for now)

4. Two of our good friends moved within 7-8 hours from us! We are so excited for their new opportunities and can't wait to visit them!

5. We have hotel and tickets booked for Las Vegas over Labor Day weekend. It is sure to be an epic reunion of friends!

6. Spain won the World Cup and they certainly deserved it! Hubby and I have made it a goal to be in Brazil in 2014 for the next one!

7. My sister turned 18 and graduated high school! Wow, I'm getting old!

8. We moved into a new apartment! Goodbye, incompetent management/maintenance, bugs, and frozen pipes!

9. I went to Philadelphia for training, fell in love with the city, and really really hope to be moved there next year.

10. Hubby got his first speeding ticket so now he can finally stop gloating about how he has a clean driving record. Haha!
