One Step At A Time!!!

Over two years ago, Raymond and I made the decision to start our lives together in Dallas. While we both pretty much grew up in Sugar Land and later moved to College Station after high school, we both were looking for a new start together...

After graduation we had heard that the job market was amazing in Dallas and the majority of our friends from college were returning back home, so we decided to take the plunge and go for it! After 2 years I can officially say that it was such a great choice and we couldn't be happier.

We do absolutely miss our families but are thankful for a family that we've built here with our friends, work, and home. Because we are further from the places we grew up, we do absolutely cherish the time we spend with our families when we return. Plus it is nice that our families do live so close together!

With about three weeks until the big day I am reminded so much about how far we've come and where we're headed. I am just so excited for what is to come, but am reminded to remember the past and take "one step at a time."

Here are some fun pictures of the past two years since our big leap to the Big D!!!

We are reminded daily of all the love and support that is out there. We are so thankful to have such wonderful family and friends that have helped to build our place here and I can't imagine it any other way. While Dallas has become our home we are very much reminded of where we've come from and are thankful for it. It has made us into who we are today. Can't wait to build so many more memories and for what all is to come while taking one step at a time!!!

Love,
Alicia
