And just like that, I was whole again.

Hello ladies & gentlemen. Welcome to my first attempt at a blog ... fingers and toes crossed! So, I am in England right now (Shannon calls me The Real Housewife of London ahahahaha). We are waiting on Shannon to get his visa so we can move to Chicago, we have renamed it Ourcago.  This process has taken a bit longer than we anticipated, so I am here with my love until that comes through! I thought a blog would be a fun way to come our friends and family connected since we are so far away.

For those of you that don't know our story, here is the short version haha. May 2010. I had just finished a very long semester and had not had any fun in quite a while. I had been invited out of town for Memorial Day Weekend but per the advice of my mom I decided to stay in the city and go out. The couple I was out with, got in a fight and we decided to come back home to 1257 Park Ave. As fate would have it, a handsome Aussie was on the fire escape and called down to me. "Hey, do you live here?!" I do, I quickly replied and it was then he asked me to come up for a drink at the housewarming party he was at. We spent the whole night together, talking, flirting and above all, laughing. He was leaving in 24 hours but told me that he would like to take me to dinner. We did just that and we knew that this was something special. He asked me to come to England that summer and as luck would have it, I had been accepted to a Study Abroad Program in Ireland. I came to England a few days before I began studying and that was single handedly the best decision I made. We fell in love and the rest is history ...

I hope that you enjoy the little stories I share from our lives together! So here is to the start of the rest of our lives!

Cheers,
Kate
