Hello blog world!

Mark it in the history books--that's right, you're not seeing things, Cody and Brittany Johnson have officially joined the blog world. After much procrastination and persuasion by my fabulous sister in law, Katie, I have finally given in and decided to chronicle our adventures on the world wide web. After all, my nosy self enjoys the regular update on everyone else's lives, so who wouldn't want to read about all the super exciting things Cody and I have going on? :) I will be, however, faced with a challenge, so I might as well be completely honest from the start. I am really not a girl when it comes to picture taking, scrapbooking, or commemorating memorable events in general. In fact, I'm much more likely to pull my camera out in social situations to show off its cute Vera Bradley case...fashion trumps function, right? In all seriousness though, this is my commitment to become better at taking pictures and capturing memories in more than just my mind. So here it goes!

I suppose this is only 7 months (well now almost 8) overdue, but we'll start from the beginning. Once upon a time, Cody and Brittany were married in a wedding ceremony fit for a princess (not to mention a party fit for a rock star) on June 12, 2010.

 This wouldn't be a legit Brittany post if I didn't start it out with a shoe picture...

BFF's--the closest they got to a sweet embrace that night. Thanks Luke for being a gentleman and letting me have the love just this once... :)

We left New Braunfels for an amazing week-long honeymoon in Costa Rica the next day, where we sunbathed (I deep fried) on the gorgeous black sand beaches, enjoyed amazing cuisine, ziplined through the rain forest, took a scuba diving trip (Cody--anyone who knows me knows that I can't even be convinced to snorkle because of my irrational fear of open water), and shopped in a little native village. All of the wedding and honeymoon festivities went by so quickly that it all seems like a far off dream now. I'd say it took until about mid-July for me to regain my focus at work and come back to reality, but I finally did. At that time, we were living it up in Houston, Cody working for The Brickman Group, a commercial landscaping company, and I working as a marketing rep for First American Title. Little did we know our world was about to get rocked with some major changes... cue "Ain't Nothin' But a Hound Dog" or your favorite Elvis Presley song...
