Alright...so truth be told it's a mix between I stink at blogging/journaling and also that I got locked out of my blog because apparently I made up a new email for it but totally forgot that I did that. I literally couldn't get into my blog and had to call all sorts of numbers and send all sorts of emails to the blog people in order to get back in! With that being said...we have lived in Indy for almost a year now! Rather than try to catch up every little thing we did, I have picked a few things to highlight mixed with some photos. You'll get the idea :)
We love it here, we have made incredible irreplaceable friends (this I cannot emphasize enough), and Marcus is loving Dental School. He is doing great and has about 3 weeks left before a small summer break! Yes, we are expecting our first baby but that will come in the next post ;)
Last fall we were able to find some incredible camping ... (Im awesome at camping...?)
We went with the Kirkwoods to a pumpkin patch/orchard. It was gorgeous and a welcome to the Fall!
We used the gorgeous city as a background for our Christmas photos.
In November we had a visit from Marcus's parents
The gorgeous city of Indy offers a beautiful background
We had a VERY merry Christmas in Idaho with our families!! We were able to spend Marcus's entire break there and we loved every single minute of it.
We returned to the worst winter Indy has seen in over 15 years. Temps as low as -45 windchill and the city even shut down for a few days making it illegal to be our on the roads. It was insane!
Our home had been renovated by the previous owner, but the only thing she didn't get a chance to do with our guest bathroom upstairs. So we decide to give it a quick facelift :) BEFORE 1/2

We have been so blessed, we have had so many visitors. My parents, both of my sisters, Marcus's parents, and then THESE two lovely ladies!!!! We had the best girls weekend, I am so so lucky to know these two and call them the very dearest of friends!! We had a blast (despite me throwing up the whole time they were here...so sorry girls) I couldn't have asked for a more fun time! Muah Muah MUAHHH! Thank you Megan and Larissa!
A little while after that we had Tabor (Marcus's brother) and Rachel and their little girl Hazel come visit. We had so much fun showing them a little bit of Indy :)
For Spring Break we went to NYC and Washington DC. It was insane how much we packed into a week, but we did it!! And we had a blast! We stayed with my nanny family for our time in NYC and then moved on to DC.
My boys (only 2 pictured here) had grown up so much! It was insane to see them and the young men they had become. It was so incredible to spend time with Kyle (nanny mom) we had some girl time to just talk and catch up. I had a blast showing marcus a city that I love so very much.
Outside my nanny families home on the Long Island sound
I missed Kyle so much! I am so grateful for the friendship we have maintained and that we have an ongoing relationship.
We moved onto DC (which I could show you millions of pictures of) But here is a quick collage. We walked miles and miles because I wanted Marcus to see as much as possible! We saw so much! We were exhausted every day (and I will still very sick at this point) but we did it!!!
This spring a tragedy took two of my neighbors homes. I looked out my window because Reina was barking and this is what I saw. Two homes were completely lost and two others had sides destroyed. The owners and pets were all safe. It was insane to watch in person.
We were so blessed to go home for Easter! I stayed for a couple of weeks but marcus was able to at least come for Easter Weekend. Mom (Grandma) was so sweet and even made the baby an Easter Basket.
Reina and I had a chance to go to the coast and see Grandma and Grandpa weissenbuehler before returning to Indy. We had so much fun!!!
PHEW!!!!!! So much has happened. I have just barely scratched the surface. All in all we have been extremely blessed since we have been here!! We are loving life and are soooo excited to take a break and go home for a little bit this summer!
