Well, in true Caroline fashion, it has been over a year since my last post.
Oh-my, do I have a lot to update you guys on.
It has truly been a full year of "firsts."
Here is a quick timeline of the highlights.
I had a song written about me (you can hear it in the wedding video below).
Benjamin & Caroline - Highlight Video from Edward Estes on Vimeo.
I got engaged.
I sold my first painting.
I bought a house with my soon-to-be hubby.
I lived by myself, which was also a first, & loved it.
I got married to the best man that I have ever met.
I went to the Dominican Republic and snuba diving (yes, snuba).
Sadly, the camera used to capture these precious memories no longer functions.
I got my first male roommate (the hubby),
and my house became a much more fun and untidy place.
I experienced the first death of someone close to me, my grandfather.
I switched careers - from 7th grade Language Arts teacher
to full time vocational ministry.
I planted my first flower garden (well, the first one actually
in the ground -flower pots in the window sill of my
college apartment doesn't count).
I had my first Christmas as a Mrs. I decorated my house,
made Christmas goodies for my neighbors, and
played "Santa" for the first time.
Although, I don't think my husband was fooled.
Oh yea, and it was my first white Christmas!
Benjamin and I made the first addition to our family, Miss Roxie Sox.
I became an aunt to the most precious baby girl, Chandler Gray.
I know it sounds silly but, if I am ever blessed with children,
I hope I can love them as much as I love her.
And that, ladies and gents, is probably the best ending to a blog post ever.
xoxo,
Caroline
