Once Ryan came home from the trail, life became a blur. We were so blissfully happy to be back together again. Then we began planning our future.
August - We discuss building a tiny home. Yes, one of the ones you now see in three different TV shows. I turn 24. I get the best class ever. :-)
September - We begin preparing to build the house. Ryan joins the National Guard. Grad school is hard.
October - The house is in building mode. We almost get crushed by panels. Ryan finds out he is going to basic and then AIT for 6 MONTHS beginning in February (for those of you who've kept up, that's only a year after hiking the trail) in Oklahoma and then Texas. I began doing Beachbody workouts that changed my body forever.
November - It gets so cold outside, but we keep on building the house. Ryan comes to my house for Thanksgiving. Alabama wins the Iron Bowl! We reserve our reception venue: Tannehill State Park. We choose a date: October 17, 2015.
December - Work and school and dance are crazy! Ryan completes the outside of the house. We argue over the color of the front door (red or yellow). Red won. HAHA. Christmas is wonderful as always. I checked seeing Kelly Clarkson in concert off my bucket list.
January - Ryan prepares to leave. He begins working heavily on the inside of the house. Fixes up power. I start my third graduate school semester.
February - Ryan goes to Ft. Sill for Basic Training for National Guard. I can only write letters. I don't hear from him on the phone until later in March.
April - Ryan graduates from Basic Training. He moves onward to Ft. Sam Houston for AIT.
May - I complete my third year of teaching and receive tenure in my school district.
June - I visit Ryan in Ft. Sam Houston and begin wedding planning like crazy!
And that's just the highlights!
