2008 has been one heck of a year!! So many great things have happened these past 12 months.
APRIL 5, 2008
My Bridal shower was held at The Habig Center in Jasper, Indiana on April 5, 2008. My sister, even though she's hundreds of miles away, was able to throw an amazing shower!! Many of AJ's aunts and cousins were able to come and many of my bridesmaids were there as well! It was quite an afternoon.....from having to chew about 2 packs of bubblelicious all at once, to guessing what was in socks and then to all the wonderful and generous gifts from our loved ones.
MAY 3, 2008
Bachelorette Party!! My wonderful bridesmaids held an awesome bachelorette party for me in Indianapolis.
We first headed to a place called Track Attack for some racing! I don't think the workers there had ever seen females tear up the track like we did!
We then headed to the hotel room downtown and got ready for the big night out!
We ate dinner at The Ram
Then we headed to Howl at the Moon!
MAY 11, 2008 - Michael finally gets his PhD!
After many, many, many years of schooling....Michael finally received his PhD!!
MAY 17, 2008 - OUR WEDDING!!
What an amazing journey AJ and I have been on the past 6.5 yrs we've been together, but we finally tied the knot this year on a beautiful day in May!
Even though we are not yet in the same city, we are still loving married life and cannot wait to be together and start a family!
Then we headed off on OUR HONEYMOON TO JAMAICA!!!
We flew to Negril, Jamaica right after our reception and had an amazing 10 days there!
JUNE 6, 2008 - Sarah officially becomes a Doctor!!!
After 4 crazy years up in Chicago I finally received my DPM (doctor of podiatric medicine) degree!
REST OF JUNE 2008
In the middle of June AJ moved me down to Louisville so I could begin my first real "job"....residency at Norton Healthcare (finally a paycheck!!). Then on June 26, 2008 I became the proud owner of a new 2008 Honda Civic LX (my first NEW car!!)
Rest of 2008 -
Well as I am sitting here putting together all the wonderful memories of 2008 I am stuck....I began my new job in July and ever since then my social life has pretty much been blah! Hahaha!! There has been the Fab 5 get-togethers every now and then and we have had family gatherings but nothing BIG has happened since June!
We are excited about all of the changes that will be coming our way in 2009. We hope to sell the house in Indy (if you want to buy it let us know) and then finnaly be together!! A.J. will soon have a job (hopefully in Louisville) and Sarah is inching ever closer to finishing residency. As the new year rings in we wish only the best in health and happiness to all of our friends and family in the new year!!
Love,
Mr. A.J. and Dr. Sarah Voelkel
