Some topics you can expect to read about here:
- The happenings of my life whether it's concert-going, wedding planning, learning to play guitar, my love of music / fashion / cooking / Wilson (our Taco Terrier) / etc.
- Various crafting projects I take on with my pals (keep an eye out for b.marie).
- The process of planning our eventual move to California.
- Whatever else comes up along the way...
So far 2012 has been quite the ride, and I love it! I rang in the new year with Kevin, the love of my life, surrounded by some of our closest friends. We spent our second Valentine's Day together, visited my best friend and her betrothed in Boston, and then on my twenty-fifth birthday, he got down on one knee and asked me to spend the rest of my life with him. Of course I said yes, and so began wedding planning (more to come on that later).
Not too long after the engagement, I made a major career change. I went from being a Site Manager for a commercial real estate company to a Creative / IT Recruiter, placing some of Chicago's best talent in super rad agency jobs. Being a recruiter suits me- I love it.
The changes didn't stop there though. We also moved into our second home together. We started in a brand new two bed, two bath condo in Uptown. Our place was gorgeous and we loved it, but we never felt "at home" in Uptown. We moved into an amazing loft in West Town, love our neighborhood, and have no regrets.
In the next few months I'll be attending four weddings, plenty of concerts (seeing exitmusic, Foxy Shazam, and Kill Hannah at Wicker Park Fest tomorrow), networking events for work, and of course continuing to plan our wedding.
What else does 2012 hold for me? We shall see...
