Where were you a year ago? What I never saw coming throughout the year!

Who can look back on a year ago and think "I didn't see that coming"?
I sure can.

What about 2 years ago? That may even be an even bigger shock to some!
I know it is to me. Here's why.

See, one year ago I showed up in Southern Chile to start a new life with my girlfriend (now wife @alovelymess), who I was in a long distance relationship with. Two years ago I was working and and had never even been on a plane. Crazy, right?!

To summarize how I got to Chile, my brother moved there with his wife, and her family. One day I decided to apply for a passport, and the following month I bit the bullet and went on my first plane ride ever. It was April 2016, and I was there for 2 weeks. While I was there, my sister in law's sister and I were secretly watching each other. A week later, she messages me and it's all history from there. I asked her to be my girlfriend in June, and I arrived in Chile on September 3rd.

So that was two years ago, what about what has happened since then? Well, we've had a crazy ride to put it simple. We obviously spent a lot of time together, I got to know her family of 9, we went on dates, hiked, explored Chile, had laughs and tears, and much more. In February 2017 I proposed to her on a Volcano to which she said yes!

We then went to Argentina with her family in March. This was at a local restaurant.

We soon set a date and got hitched at the courthouse in April.

We then drove 10 hours to the capital of Chile (Santiago) for our week long honeymoon.

When we came back, we went straight to packing...We were moving back to the states along with the rest of her family in May!!

Our very first stop was a 2 week visit to Orlando Florida...WE'RE GOING TO DISNEY WORLD!!! She had been a few times, but this was my first time ever.

After that, we took a 10 hour road trip with @rigaronib, @uglysweater, and our silly nephew back to our hometown in Tennessee. A couple of months past and they headed to Idaho to be with her family, however myself and @alovelymess are still here in TN...but not for long.

We have decided to move to Idaho to be with our nephew, niece, siblings, and the rest of our family. If someone told me that all of this would happen in exactly one year time, I would have laughed in their face. This goes to show just how when you think you have it figured out, or you don't think things will change, you could be wrong. Two, even one year ago, neither of us knew what was coming.

Life is full of surprises, so be ready to flow with the wind.
