Bensmiller Beginnings : New Blog

I've always wanted to start a blog, though I am not a writer, I like to read my friends blogs and have always thought it was a great way to share memories, ideas, and life experiences. When I moved to Fort Worth 6 years ago, my roommate and I thought we would blog our time as singles in a new "big city" and title it "Clueless in Cowtown." We had a blast growing up, starting our careers, and finding a permanent home here in North Texas with our husbands.

Long story short, I moved here for a teaching job (where I still work today), have learned many lessons about becoming an adult, made great friends, found the love of my life, moved to his hometown (its only 20-30 miles from Fort Worth), and got married. Now we are building a home, expecting our fist baby, and loving our life together.

I hope this blog is a place where we can share our memories and experiences with our friends and family.

Here's a quick recap of how we got started:

Natalie and I looking for our fist apartment in Fort Worth after we both got jobs in the area. I'm pretty sure this is where we came up with the idea that we were truly CLUELESS IN COWTOWN!

Jump ahead a few years and I met my husband Brian, we dated 3 times before we finally got it together, but I am so glad we did! Brian bought a lot to build a house on in October 2012, and proposed there where we would build our home together the next month. Here is a picture after he proposed.

We didn't waste anytime getting married, I planned our wedding for June while I was finishing up my masters at Concordia University. I took a final on Thursday night before our wedding weekend and was married by Saturday!

We spent our honeymoon in Vegas! Somewhere I had never been, and Brian wanted to take me on a new adventure. I loved every second of it and was sad to come home. Here's a picture of us on our last day at the hotel with parrots!
