Hello!!!

Hello, blog! Goodness, it's been forever since I posted here! Actually, it's been forever since I wrote anything non-school related. Yes, graduate school has consumed my life. Well, that and getting married and learning how to be a wife. :) Since I last posted on here I have become Mrs. Darcy and let me tell you, it's been amazing. Planning the wedding was difficult from a distance but everything came together and Mr. Darcy and I were thrilled with the outcome. It was a beautiful wedding and for the first time in my life I felt truly beautiful. There were so many things that were a dream come true and I have many friends and family to thank for that. After the wedding, Mr. Darcy and I went to Hawaii for a whole week and it was absolutely thrilling to see the natural beauty that was everywhere on the island. After that great trip we returned to Colorado - him to start work and me to start summer classes and clinic rotations. We made it through the summer and even managed to take some time to explore the beauty of the Rocky Mountains. Now fall is here and we are once again embroiled in classes and clinic with some job-related work mixed in there. Being married has been a great experience for both of us but is has also been a learning experience. There is a comfort that comes with marriage that I think allows you to grow more and a security that allows you to realize that stumbling and falling along the way is OK. So, because of all the growing I have been doing lately (stumbling and falling included) I have been more and more inclined to resume my blogging. Honestly, I have been DIEING to start writing again. I am anxious to express myself and maybe even get some feedback once in a while. The next few months should bring posts that express what I am going through, what the world around me looks like, and most of all the thoughts that invade my mind and permeate my days. I hope you enjoy!
