Chapter One...

So much has changed for me in the past year. This time last year, I was living in a tiny one bedroom house (if you could call it that...) up against an alley in the deep North End. J and I had only been dating for just under three months, and I was burning up all of my spare time falling in love with him. The summer flew by, and then the winter, and then came spring. We were celebrating our one year anniversary on a weekend vacation when he proposed to me. It was the day before Mother's Day. The proposal was completely unexpected, but apparently only unexpected by me, and I cried and cried (of happiness of course). Since then, everything has been a blur. Next week we will be closing on our very first home, and the next year will be full of wedding planning and home building. That's why I started this blog. I plan to chronicle our adventures as we navigate being first-time homeowners, planning a wedding and taking on married life... I can't wait!
