I've become horrible at this
There have been so many moments and nuances that I've wanted to document over the course of this last year and for some reason or another they fall by the wayside. There have been may milestones of note: the engagement in Chicago, my Masters graduation, moving to Oxnard with Megan and Auston, and the zenith, my marriage to Megan.
There's so much to write about these events that I couldn't possibly do them justice after the fact. I tend to make mental reminders to revisit significant times in my life and all too often they are buried beneath the passage of time.
I'd like to pretend that I make an effort in documenting my thoughts and feelings on such monumentous hallmarks, but that's not the truth. This only saddens me. At times, reflection appears greater an the ability to document the experience. Procrastination strikes again.
Our trip to Chicago was amazing. I wonder when we'll be able to do another like it. My immediate thoughts of the trip arrive on seeing the Chicago lit up with night lights, snowing on us as we left a wonderful performance of A Christmas Carol in downtown and the Shedd. I believe Megan had every expectation of being asked on New Year's Eve, I do like to disappoint only to redeem myself. I asked Megan to marry me on New Year's Day as we took a VIP tour of the Shedd.
We moved to Oxnard a couple of weeks later to a beautiful condo on the marina. It's incredibly spacious and has daily beach breeze visits. Megan and I both work in Camarillo still so it's a bit of a commute and we don't really know anyone that lives close to us. We have enough room to entertain, just not the time. We signed a year lease and I'm dreading thinking of what we'll do in the coming months. Lately, we've been taking full advantage of our surroundings with almost daily walks around the marina.
I decided to participate in the graduation ceremony last minute in order to walk with my colleagues. I still have yet to complete my thesis due to lack of group participants in my young adult cancer support group. I imagine that my thesis is more of note than the graduation. Although, it was nice to have my brother come in and celebrate the occasion with a dinner at Mastro's. I ran an eight-week psycho-educational support group for young adult's with cancer through The Wellness Community and I was unfortunately only able to gather two participants. I'm in the midst of establishing a group at CLU to hopefully begin in late November/ early December.
Our wedding was planned out over a month and a half and I'm happy to report that it turned out wonderful. I can't really take too much credit, Megan did most of the legwork. Alice Keck park was picture-perfect. We had a short, meaningful ceremony by the koi pond and a lovely dinner at Stella Maire's reception center.
I've got a kicking cold and although I had every intention of redeeming myself from past transgressions of brief descriptions and insufficient details, I've done just that.
