Oh.
Oops.
Remember that time I told myself I would try and blog weekly?
oh...
Double oops.
This blog started as an outlet to scream out all my frustrations with my new diagnosis of type 1 diabetes.
And you know what?
It. just. got. normal.
As time went on, I quickly adjusted to my new normal. Sure, my normal is a lot different from yours, but it just happened. It's pretty amazing how your life can adjust to such a big change. I can honestly say that in the last year I have grown so much.
Can I prick my finger and test my blood sugar in the pitch black? yup.
Can I pick any menu item at Chick-fil-a and tell you how many carbs are in it? you're damn right.
Do I spend more money on medical supplies than new clothes? Unfortunately, yes.
Do I have a meltdown when I can't get my blood sugar to go down? many. multiple. times.
Do I have a happy dance anytime my blood sugar is under 110?? ABSOLUTELY.
Do I still feel like I don't know what the hell I'm doing half the time? Oh hell yes.
The bottom line is, I've learned. I've grown, and Type 1 Diabetes has not defined my life. It sucks 99.5% of the time, but I've learned how to make it suck less.
But now on to the fun stuff....
Benjamin and I had a very exciting last few months.
We spent my first "Dia-versary"driving to Ouray, Colorado for Christmas. It was the most beautiful Christmas I have ever had, and especially nice to get away from everything. (Except diabetes of course.)

And then, we spent our New Year's Eve getting married and such :)

I cannot tell you how much we love being married. It's been a long time coming.. (almost 8 years!) But we are so beyond excited! One thing is for sure, our future will be filled with love.... and insulin.
