The insides of Vanessas mind!

This year has been one of the best years of my 24 years! There were a lot of lfe changing milestones that took place this year. January-March: My husband graduated Army basic camp and his family and I went to see him graduate. I was beyond proud of him and SO happy I was able to be there to see him graduate :). I also turned 24 (the years keep flying by lol). April-June: In April my boyfriend (now husband) asked me to marry him. He asked me in the cutest way! I'll never forget that day :). After that it was nothing but preparation for the wedding. July-Sep: July 23rd I married my best friend, I know it's cliche to say "I married my best friend" since everyone says but he truly knows me like no one else does!) Another day I will NEVER forget! :). Then in August I moved from California to Oklahoma to live with my husband. I'm not going to lie that was a big change for me. Living away from my family and then living together, it took time to adjust but we got ov...

A couple weeks ago my furry daughter, husband and I went to California. We got back this week. It was nice being able to go home for the holidays. We hadn't seen our families in a couple months so it was nice seeing every one! We got to spend time with both our families and spend Christmas with them at the same time. Ever since we started dating our families have shared Christmas together. It's a nice tradition, although this year seemed be a bit different but it was still nice. My husband and I were able to go to some of our favorite restaurants that we hadn't been to since we lived there, it was nice being able to go on mini dates just the two of us and getting to go out with our families :). Libby (our doggie) got to meet our families dogs. Everyone said what a nice dog she was, which made us proud of her :). My hubby surprised me and bought me a Lenovo tablet. I wasn't expecting anything so it was cute that he bought me that. We also got a table (yes, we've li...

This week I had finals, I'm so glad I'm done with this semester. This is the first semester back since 2009 so it was a little bit of an adjustment. Over all I think it was a good semester back :). I only took 2 classes this semester so it wasn't too hard. Next semester I'm going to take 5 classes so that'll be the big test! This month has been way busy! I have been busy buying things for people for Christmas! I love shopping for others and of course a couple things for myself :). I can't wait for Sunday night, my husband, my doggy and I will start our 20 hour trek to California. My hubby has 2 weeks off so we're going home for Christmas! I'm definitely going to enjoy ALL my time there! I've missed everyone over there! I'm VERRRRRYYYYY excited! :)

Our Thanksgiving Dinner turned out great! It was nice spending it with my husband last Thanksgiving we didn't get to spend together since he was at bootcamp. It was my first Thanksgiving without out my family, kind of weird not having them to share the meal with but it was still a good dinner non the less. The day after my hubby and I decorated for Christmas. We put up our tree and our stockings. We're driving home for Christmas! I can't wait to see our families! Even though we aren't staying here for Christmas we both thought it would be great to put our tree to get in the holiday spirit :). It's our first tree together! This past year my hubby and I have had a lot of first's and I love it! :)

I'm thankful for my little family (my husband and Libby), they're my world! I'm also thankful for my wonderful family and friends. This is the first Thanksgiving without my family but I'm so thankful I get to spend it with my husband. Last year we didn't get to spend Thanksgiving together because he was in boot camp and for the first time him and I are spending Thanksgiving as Husband and Wife. Well it's my first time cooking Thanksgiving Dinner. I'll post pictures and the results of my cooking either later today or this weekend :) Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving :)

Since my husband and dog went to bed I guess I'll blog :). There really hasn't been much going on over here. I started my 9 week class this past week, the first week went pretty good considering the teacher didn't even show up the first day so we went home early :) and our second day of class we didn't have class because it was fall break :). This weekend I spent a lot of my time studying because I have a test in my psych class in a couple weeks but I want to stay on top of everything. I took a test not too long ago and I didn't do so well, the only good thing about that test was that the teacher dropped some questions, which brought me up by 10 pts and then my teacher offered us 10 extra pts if we completed an assignment as a class so that really helped! But I know I have to do much better this next test. I've been really creative lately with creating flowers and headbands :). I've actually sold a couple which makes me happy because it would make me super...
