It's been quite a while since I posted here and boy has A LOT happened since the last post. I'll start with an update on us.
With working on and getting settled in the house, time flew. Before we knew it, we were spending our first winter together in our new home. Christmas was coming, and Sean was excited to show me Philadelphia during Christmas time. For his birthday, I planned to take him into the city and make a weekend out of it. We spent Saturday seeing the light shows at the Comcast Center and Macy's, and then enjoyed a yummy dinner at Serpico. The following morning, we indulged in a traditional Irish breakfast and then hit the Christmas market near LOVE PARK. Sean asked if I wanted to get a picture in front of the famous LOVE statue, and then he gave me the surprise of my life...

Of course I said "yes!" We got engaged on December 22, 2013. Shortly after, we met with the wedding coordinator at Springfield Country Club where we had agreed was where we wanted our wedding to be held. We were looking to have either a Spring or Fall ceremony, which everyone else wanted to do as well it seemed! We had the option to either get married in well over a year or book a surprisingly free Saturday that was available that May...meaning the Saturday in the May that was about four months from that time. We looked at each other and decided to go for it! So in a whirlwind four months, we planned our wedding and tied the knot on May 3, 2014. Here's a snapshot of our day:

Best.Day.Ever.
So then we were in our best friends' wedding, honeymooned in Jamaica, had a fun summer, celebrated Halloween, Thanksgiving & Christmas, and rung in the 2015 New Year all while working on the house in between! And that finally brings us to present day :)
