Keeping up this website has fallen to the wayside as my life has taken wonderful yet consuming twists and turns with increasing job duties, meeting with friends on a more regular basis, and a lovely husband to be with everyday. This morning I was thinking maybe I can start soon by just using this to write about my job, because it takes up much of my time and thoughts, and I haven’t even explained my job well to my family! ;)

But for now, two updates. One, my dear grandpa Curt Regehr passed away a little over a week ago, and my week has been spent in mourning for him, and unfortunately while being sick, which made it an amplified emotional week for me. Grandpa left a legacy that I am blessed to know.

Second, today is the one year anniversary of Tyler asking me to marry him. What a glorious day for the both of us. Even then I didn’t know the depth of his character and the amount of integrity he has. I am a woman who has been given way more than she deserves, that’s for sure. One year ago he sent me flowers, picked me up with a dress he had bought, and took me on a walk in the forest where he had placed cards along our walkway, telling me why he wanted to marry me. When we got to the end of our path, it overlooked a river, and he had broken up twigs to ask me to be his wife. He did good.
