A Year Ago

One year ago I was about to start my new job at American Cancer Society. My anniversary date is this Thursday, May 19th. God was so faithful in my transition from public accounting to this new job. I knew without a doubt I couldn't stay at EY any longer but I waited patiently for his timing. He shut some doors, which were pretty painful experiences, but then he opened this one, the perfect one - the one that led me to American Cancer Society. I remember being at EY, knowing I was good at accounting, but wanting it to matter more. And then he blesses me with an accounting job for a company I can be passionate about. He's so good.

One year ago I was also about to go on my first official date with Hogan, who is now my husband. Our anniversary date (of our first date) is this Wednesday, May 18th. We had actually already planned to go to dinner the night before I started my new job to celebrate - as friends. A week or so before though he had asked me if I would be interested in making it a "date" and I said yes. So we went to Bottega cafe for a delicious meal and then to Spain Park to swing on the swings and walk and talk. We awkwardly held hands (gotta love first date jitters, no matter how old you are or how well you know each other). We talked and talked. Hogan says I conveniantly locked my keys out of my house, so we talked some more while we waited for Liz to get home that night and let me in. It was such a fun night and simply confirmation of what we both already knew - that we would be together forever.

So much can happen in a year. It blows my mind if I really think about it. But it's fun that way - at least I think so!
