The Beginning

Ohai! We got married 28 October 2012, and I'm finally getting on top of blogging about our family.

We've had kind of a rough first year as a married couple, a few weeks after we got back from our annual road trip to spend the winter holidays with my in-laws, I was diagnosed with melanoma from a mole on my chest. It was only stage one, but it had reached a level in the architecture of the skin where it could have spread via the circulatory system. I had to go under for them to remove the skin around it as well as sentinel lymph, and everything tested fine and I'm completely cancer free, but we've been fighting an uphill battle with our insurance company for the last 8 months trying to get the bills paid, and it's still not finished yet. They "have to make sure" it wasn't a preexisting condition. Thankfully after this coming January, no one else will have this problem.

We're looking into buying a house relatively soon. We're also in the process of planning ahead for children. We just got back from our first cruise (and the husband's first time on soil not belonging to Canada or the US!), so I'll be blogging about that next, complete with pictures. Hooray!
