5 Years

Exactly 5 years ago, on June 4th, I made my big move from Michigan to Maryland.  I can remember driving myself out here and hoping that I didn't get lost.  I had never driven so far before, and I had no GPS or smart phone to save me.  I actually did have to pull over once after arriving in Baltimore to look at my map and get back on track, but eventually I made it to my new home.

This picture of my empty room was taken June 4, 2006 just before leaving Ann Arbor

Here's the first picture I have of me after moving during a day trip to DC on June 7th

I waited until August 19th before making the first of many trips to NYC!

It didn't snow until January 21st during my first winter in Maryland.  I was so happy to finally see some snow!!!

I met Brandon in May 2007 :)  Here's the first picture I have of us from a wedding we attended June 16th.

Tara moved in with me in August 2007.  Yay!

Brandon and I got engaged July 12th, 2008!

We got married August 2009! :)

We bought our first house in February 2010

And we brought Oakley home in May 2010 :)

Today, 5 years in Maryland

Things have been busy in the last 5 years!  I've enjoyed all of the new experiences that life has brought my way, and I'm looking forward to the next 5 years!
