Hi everyone, Here is Mine and Scott's year in review...I only have a few pictures from our year, I hope you enjoy!
January: The year started out with our last semester of classes and a busy semester it was. Scott's birthday was also this month, I made him a romantic dinner.
February: Scott and I celebrated our 5th year since we started dating.
March: Was my birthday. We celebrated by getting cinnoman roles from Perkins and he got me the game Sorry. We also created our registries for our wedding, not as much fun as people think!
April: We continued to plan for the wedding, finalizing guest list and all the other fun stuff!
May: Scott graduated from UW-La Crosse. We moved back home to Port Washington and left our college days behind us. Mom and Dad came to visit making the most of the weekend by biking and going on a brewery tour. They loved it all. We also started our seach for apartments to live in when we got married. This is the month the craziness all started.
June: Was filled with graduation parties, bachellorette parties, weddings, family reunion, working and searching for a job. We sent out the invitations for our wedding and anticipated their return. Sara, Gerardo and Katy Lou arrived and ready to meet the family!

July: Whirlwind of more graduation parties, wedding showers, and another family reunion. Scott found a job at the Blood Center of Wisconsin working in one of their diagnostic labs...he loves it. Had another wedding to attend. Finalized the head count...had many discussions on seating at the wedding...finished working at the theatre and finalized everything for the wedding. Celebrated Caden's 1st birthday with the family in Illinois.

August: Best Month EVER! We had rehearsal and then we got married! Threw an awesome party, opened gifts. Had a two week honeymoon in Florida. One week on the beach alone, one week in Orlando with Kyle and Krystin! Scott went back to work and I started my internship with West Bend Park Recreation and Forestry Department.

September: The Last of the weddings for the year. Adam and Gina got married, threw an awesome party. Scott and I settled into married life and working.
Bridesmaids!
October: We spent the month working on our budget and learning how to manage money. Getting used to being around each other all the time. We visited Adam and Gina in Madison, went through a giant corn maze...Triennen family farm...google it and be amazed!

November: The craziness started again with the holidays starting with Thanksgiving. Scott kept learning new tests at his job, I kept suceeding at my internship. Clebrated Katie Lou's 1st birthday via blogs! Five different Thanksgiving dinners. Kept trying to work on the whole budget thing. Not as easy as it seems. We purchased tickets down to Costa Rica for May with Naomi. We learned Scott's grandma was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Please pray for her and the family.
Caden starting early!
December: I do not know where to start. We did not even slow down. It was filled with shopping finishing the internship, graduation for Beth from UW-La Crosse. Six different Christmasses. Enjoyed seeing everyone! Wished in the New Year with Kyle and Krystin in Whitewater! May God bless everyone in the next (hopefully not so busy) year to come!
Our first Christmas Tree!
Noelle, Scott and I weathered the trip down to visit the Perrine's to surprise Stephanie for her birthday. To say the least we succeeded in our surprise and she was not expecting that we would come down to visit. The three of us arrived at Chris and Ed's house on Friday night, Stephanie was at work so we decided to go and surprise her there. We got there just as she was getting off of work, we stayed and hung out with her at work for awhile. Saturday was the day of 
the party Aunt Chris planned. We slept in late and had a relaxing day until around noon when all hell broke loose. People were coming over at four and we had two apple pies to make, a taco dip, chicken carbonara. To say the least we were put to work to get this all done. The picture is the awesome taco dip I made! It was the taco seasoning dip, refried beans, guacamole, cheese, lettuce, cheese, tomatos, and olives. It was quite amazing. 
After dinner, which was awesome, we played the longest game of dominoes in my life. Eight people not paying attention, not good, we also played spoons, and other games late into the night. Graham ended up staying over and on Sunday he was fascinated by the cat. He is getting so big and is very cute. All in all it was a very good weekend. We had a lot of fun and it was a lot of driving. Scott was a trooper and drove the whole way. 
Things we learned: Scott and Noelle are both lovers of Arby's, where Turkey Run State Park is, Gary IN is the smelliest place on earth, driving through Chicago is about ten dollars in tolls...One way (we went around on the way home, much less expensive), and Stephanie does not work at a whole in the wall type of bar, it is very nice and upscale!
