6 years and counting

Technically we’ve been together for 11 years, but only married for 6 of them.  I figured I should probably say something mushy and fun. Here’s some pictures to go along with all the mush. 🙂

Photo credit goes to my friend Kim!

I did get a good one, as I think I’ve demonstrated in posts. He supports my crafting and sewing, encourages me to do the scary things, and ensures I always have working electronics and cars (which is no small feat, let me tell you!).

He also fell in love with the same accidental pitbull, so I really think I’ll keep him now. 🙂

I’m happy to share my life with him! Here’s to many more adventures!

Wedding and Trip Wrap Up

Well, I’m ready to go back on vacation. I came home to a bigger tire bulge, a note rejecting my professional disclosure for my license, snow flurries, and a car that refused to shift for half a mile or so on my way home tonight.

I handled the snow by defiantly wearing Christmas socks in April.

I know how to fix the paperwork and it will get sent back tomorrow, and my car will get looked at on Friday. I have long days at work to make up for my week off, so that’s the soonest it can get fixed. Send help. Or new cars…

We had a fairly uneventful trip back. We had to wait for what seemed like forever for the plane to take off and then again to get our bags. Fancy was super wiggly and excited to see us. Fancy got a cute new collar and a new chew toy, a red stick. This one crinkled by means of a tube of plastic sandwiched between two soft rubber tubes. There are no pictures because my ever so smart dog ripped off the top and pulled out the inner tube to completely dismantle it. Here’s her collar though. 🙂

We had a lovely time at the wedding. Here are a few pictures from the event. It was at a vineyard and luckily, was just dry enough for the ceremony to be held outside. The vines weren’t ready and I was honestly too short to get a good view without a huge fence in the way.

It was a very joyful and fun wedding. The Husband’s cousin got married to a lovely girl and they had a couple of Jewish traditions that I hadn’t seen done before, including the chair dance and the breaking of the glass. The chair dance was crazy to watch and I was very glad it wasn’t me! The chair holders were strong though, so there were no worries.

Another thing I’ve never seen before was a painter painting the first dance live! I wasn’t sure we were allowed to take pictures of that though, so I didn’t. It was a beautiful sight though! The happy couple will have the picture hanging in their stairwell.

There were candles everywhere and everything was gold, pink, white, copper, and shimmery.

I found a Pixar playset at Disney and I put it in my office today. Some of my kids have already enjoyed it.

I also went to the Renegade Craft fair in San Francisco with my MIL, SIL, and cousin in law and her mom. There were so many cute things there. I got a cat toy shaped like a wine bottle for our dog sitter who’s cat also had to put up with Fancy for the week. 🙂 I came home with some vintage earrings and these adorable popsicles that I thought might make my summer much more fun.

I kind of wanted this entire booth. She had these enamel jewelry pieces that included stars, hot air balloons, “happy pills,” and adorable lightbulbs that you plugged in to close them. They were the cutest thing! Here’s her website. Try not to buy everything!  I should get to bed though. Have a good night!

Sneezy, Dopey, Grumpy, and Sleepy: The Four Dwarves of a Cold

I am sick. I can’t stop coughing, sneezing, or blowing my nose. I have no appetite and just want to go to bed and sleep everything off. Fancy was so concerned about me that she has been attached to my hip since Sunday and has to be touching me at all times. She’s started to guard me from The Husband again. She freaked out when I had to use my nebulizer, but seemed okay once I showed her what it was. Now she just has to lay on my lap while I use it. She checks on me every so often like this.

The Husband has been taking good care of me, so I am feeling like I’m getting a little better. The last stage of a cold for me is when it settles into my chest and my asthma flares. I’m taking zinc and drinking orange juice (though not at the same time.. blech)  and having lots of chicken soup.

I have not felt up to crafting or sewing, as I’ve also hurt my back again. I sat crunched up while writing and am still paying for it. I have to find a PT place again, so they can fix it.

I have been able to write and got over word count pretty much all the days so far. I had a hiccup in my story and decided to go back to my original idea of a people/princess rescuing dragon. The Steampunk idea got away from me. I don’t know enough about the mechanics of it to write a good story. The cowboys were confusing me to and I got really bored with my characters and the storyline. The Husband suggested I write the original one and so far it’s going well.

We went to a wedding on Saturday that had dragons. 🙂 I woke up with a cold then, so brought my own box of tissues and hand sanitizer and tried not to hug or breathe on too many people.

It was a really cool wedding.  Beautiful decorations and just a hint of nerdiness. 🙂 The sign says “One ring to bring and into marriage bind them.” The bride looked like a princess and the groom was her very handsome prince.

We got to see a whole bunch of college friends and the Husband’s music fraternity serenaded the bride, which is my favorite part of a PMA (Phi Mu Alpha) wedding. There was a serenade at our wedding too and it, of course, made me cry.

It’s time for another dose of cold meds, so I’ll leave you. Hopefully I will start to feel better this week. We have our Elevensies party on Sunday and I have a lot of food to make. Send me healthy prayers please!
