Our First Year of Marriage

Wow, a lot has happened over this past year! We got married, moved and started new jobs and school. It has been such a wonderful time though and I wouldn't trade it for anything! Since we are celebrating our 1 Year Anniversary today, I thought it would be fun to think of highlights from each month of this first year of marriage. Enjoy!

January 8, 2011 - Our Wedding! Though it was quick, we couldn't have been happier with the way it all came together! 

 



February - we enjoyed Krewe Du Vieux with our friends the Avrards! 
 



March - I drove to Charlottesville, VA to meet my new nephew, Cole. Also, I got to see Katherine & Jay and their Chick-fil-a in Waynesboro
 
 



 April - Easter weekend, our original wedding weekend, took Aaron and I to Denver to interview for what would become his job teaching 5th & 6th grade!






May - we celebrated Aaron's 27th birthday! We made the trip back to Colorado to watch Alex graduate from the University of Colorado at Boulder. 






 June - we traveled to Virginia to celebrate Cori & Rebecca's wedding and see that sweet nephew of mine! 





July  - we went all the way across to California. We were married again in Aaron's home church and spent a few days in San Francisco! 


We also packed up all our stuff and moved to Colorado! 




August - we found an apartment and I started trying to make it a home 

 


October - we celebrated the birth of our niece, Hellen Irene Adoko! We went to Breckenridge for a school retreat and watched lots of Clemson football! 






November - we finally got back to New Orleans to celebrate Kurt & Becca's wedding! And, I cooked Thanksgiving dinner for all the Schultzes!





December - back to the east coast for Christmas! 

Phew, wow. This year has been one of the most fun, most challenging, most joyful and most rewarding of my life. I couldn't thank God enough for a great husband, fabulous friends in New Orleans, amazing provisions in work and friends here in Colorado and the blessing to have people in so many parts of the country to visit! We're praying for more of the same for 2012, hopefully with more visits to those friends!

going public

Well...there is not really any other way to say this but... Aaron and I are having a BABY! Yep, Baby Schultz should be arriving this Labor Day. We could not be more thrilled about the news! Once we got through the 12-week ultrasound, which is what this picture is from, we were ready to spread the news! I know there are still lots of people who should have gotten phone calls, and for that I apologize that you are finding out now, but I was just ready to get it out there! And now I will answer the questions that typically follow up this kind of announcement. 1. Were you trying? Well....not exactly. From the beginning I have felt pretty strongly that we were not in control of this whole baby-making situation. I have known many women who got pregnant on birth control, or when they didn't even know they could, and those who "planned" it and then it has taken longer than hoped. I've just always been pretty sure that when the Lord determined we were ready, He'd

spill about your LOVE link-up

I'm linking up with A. Liz Adventures today for this fun little questionnaire!  {1} Describe your dating life prior to finding your husband/boyfriend/fiance. I had 2 serious relationships before meeting Aaron, one in high school (as serious as that can be, ha!) and one in college. Before meeting Aaron, I had been single for about 3 1/2 years. {2} Describe your husband/boyfriend/fiance in one word. How would he describe you in one word?   The word I always use to describe Aaron is steady. He is the calm to my crazy. Also, is faith is the most consistent and steadfast I've ever seen. He says to describe me in 1 word is too hard.  {3} You had a really silly fight. Embarrassing silly. What was it about? Our most frequent fight is over the dishes. And that seems silly to me.  {4} In three sentences (and only three!), describe where you both hope to be in 5 years. Surrounded by family and friends, probably with another child, in a house with a front porch

mid-month confessions

Y'all. I am SO excited for the return of mid-month confessions!! Elizabeth, over at Teaching Sam & Scout , used to do mid-week confessions that I linked up for a couple of times before her original blog shut down. Since starting at a new space and kind of rebranding herself, she's decided to get them going again, but once a month instead of once a week. AND she's partnered up with one of my best girls from Clemson, Heather! I'm really looking forward to this link-up each month! - First, I have to say, today was just one of those days, so this might be brief. - On Sunday, our youngest child, Ben (4 weeks) spit up straight into the mouth of our friend Geoff who was holding him. Yes, possibly more embarrassing for Geoff, but I felt terrible!   - When I wrote our family goals for 2015 on the blog, I purposefully left off one thing; brush Canon's teeth once a day. YES, I know. We're terrible and haven't quite worked it into our routines yet so
