1/2/2017
- How long were you trying (if you were)?

This is our first.
- Tell us a little about yourself!
My husband and I are both 27 and we live in California. We were married last spring in a beautiful beach town in Mexico. I am a registered nurse and have worked in a couple different specialties now. I enjoy reading and spending time outside. I love to travel and usually take 5 or 6 trips each year. It'll be an adjustment staying close to home in the future. I'm also a huge dog lover and have earned the nickname of "crazy dog lady" even though I only have 2 since I am that person stopping to pet dogs when I'm walking around anywhere. I'm looking forward to getting to know all you ladies

We had a nice weekend getaway for our anniversary in the beginning of the month and we will have something to show for it in 8 months. We are thinking sticky vibes!!
