Two years of pure luck
It has been a long time since I have blogged. I think it is just a busy school and grad school schedule, plus time out for honeymoon(post forthcoming), plus a cabin weekend, jet lag, mini-illness= a whole month without a peep from me. I am back on the bus.
What an enjoyable day, today is. It is a 'sunny-blue-sky-day' outside (childhood saying), I have finished all school work for the day (!), and we have leaf raking and frisbee play-offs in front of us this afternoon. Plus we have Willy Porter on the stereo, husband is dancing around the house in his t-shirt and "Blue Hawaii" boxers while he makes his waffles (his v. favorite Sunday morning activity), and the Sunday morning paper is on the dining room table just waiting to be read.
It was two years ago Friday night that husband and I went out on our first "date". What a fun night. We went out for a quick dinner and then to the movie "The Incredibles". Then we drove over by the lakes and downtown, at first looking for a coffee shop, and then just enjoying driving around the city together. Soon after that night came him cooking me dinner and watching West Wing episodes, meeting for dinner or coffee in uptown, meeting friends and family, and the rest, shall we say.... is history. It is hard to believe that two years later we are married and life is very different (and very wonderful).
In the last two years, I have learned how to play broomball, softball, hang out with 'the college group' of husband's. Husband has learned how to love kitties, Canoe in the Boundary Waters, and go to concerts. We have traveled to San Francisco, New Hampshire, Maine/Acadia National Park, Chicago, the Boundary Waters, San Francisco, Jamaica, and Hawaii. Husband has sold his house, graduated with master's degree, changed jobs about three times, and I have changed jobs, started grad school, changed frisbee teams, and we have planned and had a wedding, honeymooned, redone our kitchen, gotten a new kitty, and most importantly both he and I have new families and friends. It is amazing to think about the process of two people combining their lives. It is fun to look back and watch as it all happened. Its seems a little like magic and a lot like the greatest thing to have ever happened to me.
