Merry Christmas EVERYONE!!! I hope all of your holiday wishes come true! It's that time of the year again! I love it, the baking, the caroling, the decorating, and the Shopping! Our one year wedding anniversery is coming up too. The day I turn 28 I will have been married one year!
Some say that the first year is the most difficult but I beg to differ. We have had a lot of fun and I will admitt that I love him more now than I did when I first married him. Things are a little more stressful now that we're living with the in-laws but tudo bem. We will make due. If we can make it through this we can do anything
We started this year our Honeymoon in Colonial Williansburg and had a grand time! Being taken back to Williamsburg on the brink of the revolution made me want to start one myself: down with power hungry self-serving leadership!
I graduated from George Mason University after months of a grueling commute to Fairfax, VA from Columbia,MD with my BA in English.
Matt got sick and tired for working for the "man", and we both decided we could never afford to buy a house in the DC metro area and decided to move to NJ... (houses are cheaper but they sure do getcha in the Property tax area ) and live with his folks for a while so we could save up some cash for a home. When we moved in August he didn't have a job but he found one at Pennoni and Associates within two weeks of the move. He loves his new employment and is a much happier Matt to live with.
I am getting ready to go back to school, writing my great american novel and trying to fit in various jobs. Currently I am selling my wonderful homemade chocolate chip cookies, subbing at various schools and scoring standardiazed test essays for extra cash. No it really isn't as exciting as it sounds.
We traveled this year with friends and found ourselves in Charleston, SC, Michigan, NYC, the Jersey Shore and Philadelphia. We will end this year at the same place where it began, in Williamsburg. There we will celebrate our first year wedding anniversery and my 28th Birthday (no, i'm not too excited about this birthday). I know we will have a great time!
All in all we have been blessed. We count our blessing everyday and thank our kind Father in Heaven for the many gifts He has given us. We have had a great first year of marriage and I am so happy that I married a man such as Matt. He really is the best man I have ever met and I truley love him more and more everyday! He makes me smile. We look forward to the new year with hope of peace and a knowledge that love and hard work will carry us through (and to possible additions to our family). Merry Christmas everyone, we love and miss you all!

Kristin,
It was great to read the update on you and Matt. It feels like the past year has flown by. My baby is going to be 10 months old soon. It's funny to look back and see that 3 years ago, I had 0 kids, and now I've got 2. What a life. :)
You sound so happy and upbeat. Next time you are up this way, let me know!!!
I loved reading your little year in review. I'm happy and grateful Shaun and I have been able to be a part of so much of that year even with you moving to NJ. We look forward to 2007 and more memories with the Binoccis. Did I spell your name right? Sadly I still think I spell it wrong. Don't tell Matthew:) Merry Christmas you two! See you in 2007!
PS: I especially like that photo! Who ever took such a nice picture?
Merry Christmas, I love you guys! So fun, so cute. We totally should go ice skating.
Life is good.
