It is amazing that a year has gone by so fast. It seems like just a few weeks ago we were getting back from our honeymoon in Jamaica and starting our new life together. Adjusting to married life was a lot easier that we expected, mainly because everyone told us that the first year of marriage is the hardest. Needless to say Meghan and I love being married.
Since the wedding we have moved to St Augustine, FL. It has been an adjustment moving to a entirely new place without knowing anyone, but we have found a great church and have been able to make some good friends. I doubt that we will ever find as good of friends that we left at Clemson.
I, Andrew, work for Pinnacle Snoales Group as a sales rep for covering north Florida and most recently the low country of South Carolina. Pinnacle is a distributor of decorative kitchen and bath products to the southeast US. I enjoy my job even though I have been on the road a good bit lately.
Meghan is attending the University of St Augustine studying to get her DPT, Doctor of Physical Therapy. She is currently in the middle of the third semester of school. The classes are very challenging; there is a big difference between the caliber of work in undergrad and graduate programs. Last semester Meghan was able to become friends with a cadaver and got know him better than she wanted. This semester she is working on dissecting the brain and spinal cord. Graduation is a short year and half away, December 2009. We can't wait!
Last summer was spent moving into the condo and getting adjusted to the "real world"; work and graduate school. During the fall we were able to make it up to a number of Clemson football games and were able to spend time with friends and family. The winter in Florida is great! We kept the doors open at night and ate many dinners on the back porch during the comfortable cool evenings. Christmas was spent with the Ferguson's in Charleston, followed by Craig Sarratt's wedding in Greenville. The spring was especially hard for Meghan as school goes. It is known as the hardest semester at the school! At the end of the spring semester we took a week long vacation up to Lake Hartwell, SC and did nothing. It was a very relaxing time to unwind and enjoy one anothers company. As the summer is now here, evident by the 95 degree temperature today, we have just celebrated our 1 year anniversary and have been very busy with school and work.
I will try my best to stay on top of this blog and post to it on a regular basis. Hope all our family and friends are doing well. We love you!
~Andrew and Meghan
