How to start?

Okay, so I thought I would give this a try. I have heard numerous people talk about their blogs and finally decided to give it a try myself. I am sorry if this starts out a little rough, but I am new to the blogging world so please be kind.

I guess I could start with a summary of 2008...

January- Adjusting, once again, to a long distance relationship. Not easy when you are used to seeing someone every day. (Bill accepted a job in Utah in December '07.)
February- Married off another roommate and once again was on my own. I seem to have the ability to marry off everyone else, but not myself.
March- Gained a new roommate, but shortly before the move in, little bro Curt gets engaged. Yes, there goes another roommate!
April- Found out the company I was working for was merging with a sister company and relocating to Texas. I am out of a job as of August 1st.
May- Get engaged to Bill on his mom's birthday. Happy Birthday Betty, you get a new daughter-in-law!
June- Marry off another roommate (Curt) and move back home with the parents until my own wedding.
July- Wedding plans and preparing to lose my job after 2 years.
August- Bill starts school 3 nights a week and is useless when it came to wedding decisions. His answer to everything was, "I don't care" or "Whatever you want". I know, every girls dream, but not when you are as indecisive as I am.
September- Frantically try to get last minute wedding details taken care of without panicing too much. Marry Bill on the 20th inbetween the rain showers. Rain on the wedding day is lucky, right? Spend the first 4 days of marriage throwing up and fighting off a fever. Lose my Grandma Christiansen after a long fulfilling life (91 years). Move to Utah.
October- Start adjusting to married life, a new home, and a new town/state. Start looking for a job as good as my last one.
November- Find a job in a doctor's office and get sick shortly after starting. Spend our first Thanksgiving as a married couple with the in-laws in Idaho Falls.
December- Spent our first Christmas as a married couple with my family in Boise. We got from Draper to Boise via Pocatello. Thank you snow! I never have claimed winter to be my favorite time of year. Wii competitions were all the rage this year in the Christiansen household! And I must say, I can hold my own.

Well that is a summary of 2008. I know for the length it seems more like an autobiography, but trust me it is a summary. Until next time...
