June 16th, 2007… I cant believe it has been three years since we were married and nearly seven since we first met. I feel like I have known Shaun my whole life but at the same time I am enjoying learning more about each other, growing together as a couple and growing as our family grows. At times it seems we have been married longer then 3 years and that is not meant to sound like an insult. Our life has been crazy since the day we got back from our honeymoon and really, it hasn’t stopped since. Just to get my point across I thought I would share a time line of our life since the big day!
- June 16th, 2007 – Shaun and I were married and partied down with our friends and family
- July 9th, 2007 – Arrived home from our Honeymoon road trip which included a rental car that died on us and a huge storm through Washington and Canada that knocked out power and caused us to ride into a small Canadian border town with only enough gas to go about 5 miles. Looking back it was a ton of fun with some funny stories to tell!
- September 15th, 2007 – Packed the moving trucks and our cars and drove to Kent, Washington, our temporary home until we found a house.
- November 23rd, 2007 – Escrow closed and we moved into our new house in Bothell Washington
- February 2, 2008 – Shaun and I discover that I am pregnant with our first.
- June 14th, 2008 – Shaun and I pack up the moving trucks, again and head back to California to our apartment in Simi Valley.
- October 1st, 2008 – Abigail Denise Wharton is born!
- March 26th, 2009 – Escrow closes on our house in San Fernando and we start moving in despite major kitchen renovations. Abby and I eventually go crazy and head to Montana until the work is nearly complete.
- October 1, 2009 – We celebrate Abby’s First Birthday.
- October 24th, 2009 – Shaun and I discover that I am pregnant with our second!
- July 1st, 2010 – Our second little ones possible date of birth, assuming I don’t go into labor before then!
There has been so much that has gone on in our lives, but all of it has been wonderful and amazing! I feel blessed to call this man my best friend and husband and to share these wonderful adventures with him. I look forward to the many years to come and the adventures ahead of us!
