4 Years at a Glance

It's unbelievable that as I'm typing this, it's been almost 4 YEARS since my last blog post and even longer since I've stood on Parguayan soil. So much has happened in my life since coming "home" from Paraguay after spending an {unplanned} extended amount of time there.

5 months after being back in the US, I met the guy who I would soon call my husband.

He made a ring out of rosewood and a box from a tree in his parents backyard 

and asked me to take his last name. 

(Who wouldn't after that?!)

We tied the knot 6 months later.

We honeymooned in Italy!

After a year of marriage, we traded our tiny shack adorable bungalow at the lake for more square feet and less of a drive to some of our favorite towns.

We started doing some amateur photography work and called our project "Anchored Media."

I inherited my step-cat, Bugs and together we adopted a Boxer rescue that we call Bruno from a family friend. 

I got my license in Property and Casualty Insurance after landing a job at an insurance agency.

Those are just some of the highlights, I never ever would have imagined that I would have done any one of those things as soon as I did but life can take you crazy places and I've never been one for a plan. I'm looking forward to blogging more though to keep track of life. Reading over some of my old posts have really jogged some memories! Here's to the next aventura.
