JULY.

As if last July wasn't big enough, Matthew and I have just entered a HUGE month in 2013. We're coming up on our first anniversary {man how time flies}. And I know many of you heard we booked a week long vacation to the Dominican to celebrate! We're so blessed and thankful to be able to travel and relax after a long hard year of work together.

We've got some big news--but we can't share all of it just yet :) Firstly, y'all saw that my big brother came home to Charlotte! We really relished our time together since we see him maybe once a year--if that.

Seconddd, Matt and I just bought a puppy!! I know some of y'all read how much I wanted one back in the Spring and we finally got one! It's a purebred border collie named Brody Corgnelius Taylor. We named his middle name after my love of corgis :) Matt refuses to ever buy a corgi, but he graciously gave into my choice of middle name. The reason we got this dog at this time is what I can't reveal just yet, but I'll be posting some huge and exciting news in August.

#3) Matt started his full time job at Cisco!! So exciting! We've been living off my income this year as an audit intern at BDO, so it's nice to have dual income...for a month...and then I go back to school ha.

FOURTH...the big ONE YEAR {as mentioned in the first paragraph}. We are definitely trying our cake. We're hauling it back to Raleigh today after we visit our Brody.

But those four things {and one secret} sum up what's been going on in our lives. I'll keep ya posted on how everything goes in the coming weeks!
