CoJo's Year in Review (Part I)

Howdy readers. It's that time of year again. Everyone is doing wrap-ups and year in reviews. Well why should CoJo be any different? Also, I stole this idea from here - http://schwartzblawg.blogspot.com/.

So here we go. A break down of the year of CoJo. Month by month. Enjoy.

January
We celebrated my big 27 in grown-up style at Universal Islands of Adventure & The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. John also got banned from Universal & City Walk for a year for trying to sneak us into the New Years Eve party. At least we made it home by 11:57 to kiss at midnight in the hotel.

Only 19 days till you can go back for another butter beer!

February
February was a good month for us. We traveled back to Tampa for the wedding of our friends Niki & Jonathon. The weather was perfect & the friends were fabulous. This is the weekend we decided we couldn't wait anymore to move back home and made a pact that we would be back in Florida before the end of the year.

We also took a cooking class which you can read about here.

Pre-wedding festivities

 March
This was a BUSY month. Rodeo season, mom came for a visit and I flew down to West Palm and loaded into a van with 5 other beautiful ladies and headed to the Key West for a bestie's bachelorette party! We had a blast and ate more Fogarty's then one might have thought possible.

We also had a very, very special occasion. Our first anniversary. :) We celebrated with dinner at one of Houston's best restaurants - Mark's.

April
In April, we headed to Florida once again for our dear friends Ashley & Don's wedding. I've known Don since 6th grade. He was the geeky annoying kid who would make fun of my hair and call me "brillo pad". Ok, so I had a little frizz....

Anyway, Ashley was a girl he met sophomore year of college in the dorms at UF. They've been dating just about a month less than us. Their nuptials were amazing - set in Gainesville on a perfect Spring day. I was honored to be a bridesmaid and John looked dapper in his Vineyard Vines Gator tie. :)

Proud maid. 

Gorgeous couple if I do say so myself. :)

We also attended the wedding of the Gorgeous (with a capital G) Kate & Zeke Smith. We spent a fabulous weekend in Austin with great friends.

May
Even though it starts feeling like summer in about March, May really kicked off our summer. We had Cinco de Mayo, pool time, pub crawls for cancer and a quick jaunt to Fredricksburg, TX for some wine and downtime.

Team Attractive, or something like that.

June
June flew by with lots of work for both of us and a trip for me to D.C. to visit my besties for a weekend of wedding planning, dress shopping and beer, bourbon and BBQ. And some kickball.

Don't worry readers. The rest of the year is to be continued..............
