Well, I am new to this whole "blogging" thing, but it's been something I have been wanting to try for a while so...here it goes! I figured the best place to start would be with a sort of, "About Me" post.
I am 25 years old and last June I married my best friend, "C". We also bought our first home last year, and three months after we were married we adopted our first "fur-baby," Buster.
Last year was a pretty crazy year...we got engaged in November and were married 6 months later. During that time I was finishing up coursework and clinical work for my Masters in Pastoral Counseling. C and I were also looking for a home for ourselves which we were able to find...and move into the Monday after our wedding (we were married on a Saturday).
In March my family welcomed my niece "E". We call her our little miracle baby.
In May, my grandmother passed away and my mother and I jet-set to Colombia to grieve the loss and rejoice in the life she led.
June 16 finally arrived, and while I could probably write a book on how amazing, fun, beautiful, spectacular, and a "dream come true" our wedding was...I won't make you suffer through that! Just let me assure you that it was all of that, and more!
After the wedding, and moving in to our new home, I finished up my final class for my M.S. degree and in August C and I took a cruise to the Bahamas for our honeymoon/my 25th birthday. It was amazing.
Now, here we are, almost a year later and we are (mostly) settled into our home, our pup is a year old, I have a new job that I started in January as a counselor, and I am continuing with my crocheting and even trying to start up a lil "business" with it (enter shameless plug for my Etsy shop here - https://www.etsy.com/shop/GloryDesignbyTiffany) It is still a work in progress, I'm working on better pictures etc. Any suggestions would be fantastic!
The inspiration for my shop name and the name of this blog comes from the bible verse 1 Corinthians 10:31 "So whether you eat or drink, whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God." So this blog, my crochet, being a counselor, wife etc. I hope it is all for God's glory
Until next time
I'm a Mountie, too, and we're about the same age, but I don't think we've ever crossed paths! I'm so glad you found my blog so I could find yours! The chapel was being renovated when I got married, so my wedding was at the Grotto--you're basically living my dream with the gazebo photo, and your dress is absolutely beautiful =)
ReplyDeleteHi Stephanie! I had the chance to look through some of your blog this morning, what a beautiful resource for brides! Looking at your photo's your face definitely looks familiar but you're right, I don't think we've crossed paths. Small world! Congratulations on your pregnancy, what a wonderful feeling I'm sure it is :-) It will be nice to read a "Catholic mama" perspective! Thanks for stopping by my blog!
