Our Wonderful Years...

Over the course of the average lifetime you meet a lot of people. Some of them stick with you through thick and thin. Some weave their way through your life and disappear forever. But once in a while someone comes along who earns a permanent place in your heart.

Brown hair, brown eyes. When she smiled, I smiled. When she cried, I cried. Every single thing that happened to me that mattered, in some way, had to do with her. After all, she was my girl. And I knew that she understood that in some small way my achievements were her achievements.

Things are peachy!

I just realized that I haven't blogged in a while. I'm setting out to remedy this right now:

Things I LOVE at the moment:
  • New TV. I'm getting super into shows that I wasn't totally excited about last year...like Grey's, Private Practice and Dirty Sexy Money. I've been in love with Pushing Daisies, so I'm happy to see that after such a long wait, HIMYM, Big Bang Theory and The Office back in business. Can't wait for fall premiers to start...oh and that little show I get obsessed with- Survivor!

  • Clearly in love with my Dyson. Steven, against his better judgement, allowed me to purchase it shortly after returning from our Hawaiian honeymoon. Wow. I used to vacuum maybe like twice a month...because our old vacuum was disgusting...annnnnnd now I vacuum two to three times a week. And wow. Its just awesome. I find myself digging it out to show people when they come over. Annnnd now I realize I am crazy and just like Fletch from "Bitter is the new Black" By Jen Lancaster. Which is hilariously funny. I would very much recommend it for a beach read.

  • Our fluffy towels. I generally praise all things fluffy, but these are super special, awesome towels. They are like magic.

  • Cookbooks. I've decided I have enough now to call them a "collection" and I do have some really really good ones. My Mommy recently gifted me with the original Mastering the Art of French Cooking...which I read about (or you may remember from my Julie and Julia, and Julie post) in Julie and Julia, which is a great read. (Although terrifying, because the "Julie" in the book.... is just like this Julie!) I cannot wait to sink my teeth into some real french recipes!

  • September. Bring on the apples and crisp evenings with the sliding doors open and mounds of blankets on the couch. Oh, and football.

  • Miss Petigrew lives for a day...Movie of the Month for March, I think...and totally worth renting. I want the soundtrack sooooo bad. Just amazing jazzy music and a wonderful, uplifting story. Perfect girl movie for a lazy Sunday. In fact, that's how I spent part of the day yesterday!

  • Our wedding pictures....yes, we did finally get our wedding pictures from our photographer (they were TOTALLY worth waiting for) and I have some albums posted on facebook. Please email me if you'd like the public link- so you can view them, without having to be a member of facebook.

Of course I love my Steven too...he's doing great and we'll be spending our first "month-a-verssary" together tomorrow with a fabulous dinner on our new china!
