One Year a Welsh!

WELCOME TO OUR BLOG! It seems fitting that we begin our Adventures in Welshing blog on the eve of our one year anniversary. I'm not sure there would have been time to update a blog until now. Let me just say that this first year of marriage has been interesting to say the least. In the past 12 months we have moved three times, I graduated from Berkeley Extension, was jobless for 2 months, started and new career which finally became full time in May, Andre has continued to work from home as a freelance editor and has completed a fantastic web series on the side, and has a few pilot projects in the works.  Let's just say we are very much looking forward to year two!

I am happy to say that I have been a Welsh for almost one year...well not if you count when I finally got around to changing my driver's license which was only last month! But I have certainly felt like a Welsh for a year, in fact I have felt like a Welsh for far longer than that. But now, IT'S OFFICIAL!

As Andre and I approach our one year anniversary in 3 days, I can't help but reminisce about our wedding and honeymoon. Not to sound cliche but it was truly a magical couple of weeks that I will forever be grateful for. Our overall goal for the wedding was to be surrounded by family and friends and I'd say we accomplished that. Below are some of our favorite photos and memories from our wedding weekend and honeymoon.
