2010 In Review


This past year has been full of life changes! It has brought some of the best things and some really hard moments. Here is our 2010 year in review:


Miguel and I started off the year as an engaged couple! Yay! We were soo excited!

We wanted to get married in May, so we only had 5 months to plan the wedding! Oh my!!! Wedding planning is very stressful!

Thank goodness for selfless friends who helped with the wedding planning process!

We both graduated with our undergraduate degrees! Miguel with Highest Honors from Georgia Tech and I graduated from Georgia State. We didn't go to my graduation because it was the day before the wedding.

SO proud of Miguel for graduating with Highest Honors in a very challenging major! And our friend Kyle Finnegan too!



Handsome and talented brothers!

Couldn't wait to get on with our lives as a married couple! Only two weeks away from the time Miguel graduated. We had to tie up loose ends like applying for our marriage license.

We got hitched!!!!!!! May 16, 2010! On my parent's 29th wedding anniversary!




TWO rings now! I'm a married woman!


Took our Honeymoon in St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands




After we got back from our honeymoon we moved to a new city, Savannah, and into our first apartment.

Before the moving guys came...

Miguel started working as a Stress Analyst Engineer at Gulfstream.


We are really enjoying our new home in Savannah!



Savannah and the islands are so beautiful! We are blessed to live here!

We were lucky to be able to go visit my sister and her husband who live in Seattle, WA.

Seattle!

We went to the Boeing Factory in Seattle. They let Miguel and me pilot.

Fun to visit my sister! They live in such a cool city!

We've enjoyed having friends and family come visit us! Can't wait till next summer when more people can come visit and we can take them to the beach!

My mom came to visit! Yay!

Living with a boy has been fun, challenging, and humorous! 

Living with a boy... "Laura, the cheese isn't melting on the chili"....that's probably because you used sandwich cheese slices instead of shredded cheese! lol! =)

It's been fun cheering on our favorite teams together!

Cheering on the USA in the World Cup

Cheering on our team, the Braves, as a team!

Miguel started graduate school for Aerospace this fall. He's doing distance learning through Georgia Tech. He's handled working full-time, grad school, and being married really well! Much better than I could do it if I were in his shoes! 

So diligent! Working over Thanksgiving!

And of course we adopted the best puppy ever! Emma is such a big part of our little family. I can't imagine our lives without her!

At the Humane Society adopting the Emma-do

A great addition to our family! She seems happy to be at her forever home!

We've enjoyed celebrating the holidays together!

Halloween, ya.

We have loved spending time with both families over the holidays! It's a blessing to have them both live in the same city! Makes holidays a lot easier!

Christmas is almost here! I can't believe how fast this past year has gone! I'm looking forward to going home and seeing my families! I love that my family has grown so much in 2010. We've really been showered with blessings. Can't wait to see what God has in store for our lives in 2011! 

Our first Christmas tree!
