I mean aside from me trying to break the Guinness Book of World Records for longest "Ghost" period ever :) No but really... Right after my last post here, I met a guy and one thing lead to another AND we got married on August 26, 2017!!! (Mr. Madrid is pictured below) I have also moved twice, changed careers, traveled a bunch of places, and so much more I can't wait to discuss in future posts. But for now, I will leave you with a photo of us on our wedding day :)
