My everything.
No year or seven or a billion will ever be enough.
Happy anniversary, love.

Life is so much fun being married to Alex. Each of these 11 months have been the best months of my life, and I can’t believe that for almost an entire year, I’ve been happy in a way that I never knew was possible. But even after 11 months, it still feels like the very beginning, and I still feel like we are just standing on the edge of an amazing life together. Continue Reading…
June. 2014. It’s always June that makes me stop in my tracks and say, “seriously?”
I mean, SERIOUSLY. It’s already June, which means we’ve already been married for TEN months now, and all I can say is: it’s getting *real* up in here. We’re getting very close to the one year mark, and I’ll admit, it’s a little weird to be here. It still feels surreal to have passed such a significant milestone in our relationship, and I swear, every time I see our wedding pictures I think to myself, “wow, I can’t believe that happened.” Continue Reading…
It was WAY LESS HARD to be grateful in April. I really struggled in March — I mean, the rain was just ridiculous — but April? April was like, the best month ever. Little rain, tons of sunshine, and warm temperatures was a real treat, and we took advantage of the amazing weather at every chance we got.
We logged many miles on the trails, and many hours basking in the beauty of some of Washington’s most scenic locales. Continue Reading…
Hello again, I’m glad to be writing this. It means that March, the 10 inches of rain it brought, and the four soaking wet, sun-deprived weekends has been rendered a memory. We’re definitely not in the clear just yet — but this month I’m hoping for slightly less rain, and just one weekend (or even one weekend day) of fun in the sun (or partial sun — beggars can’t be choosers). Or maybe that’s what July is for. Continue Reading…
This month was as busy as I anticipated it would be: extremely. But, instead of, like, doing anything about it — I didn’t– and made it worse. SO MUCH WORSE.
Remember what I said about not planning in last month’s post? Sorry, I think my neurons ceased firing there for a second, because that’s insanity. Nope, It’s just not going to work for me. Ever. I learned the hard way this month that if something is not written down and scheduled, thereby making me feel forced to do whatever is listed, it’s not going to happen — It’s the whole lack of motivation thing. I go hard about it, too. Even if stuff I like isn’t scheduled, it’s probably not happening. What I’m trying to say is that snowshoeing, taking a trip, or anything else that involves at least a few minutes of planning that I may have mentioned last post, didn’t actually come to fruition.

Six months ago, I vowed with a smile and a kiss to never wander this beautiful Earth alone, and promised, for the rest of my life, to ensure the happiness of the one person who made it possible.
Yup, six months ago, we got married — and my life completely changed.
Although I am still trying to figure out who I am, and what exactly I want to “be when I grow up,” or where I have a legitimate place in the world — for the first time, even if I don’t know anything else — I know in my soul that I truly belong somewhere, and that is in this little family we created. Continue Reading…
I’m surprised it’s not already January of NEXT YEAR with how fast the days fly by, so I’m counting myself lucky that it’s only 2014. I’m slightly horrified that I said “only” 2014, and even more horrified that is already the second week of January — but I’ll take what I can get.
What is most surprising, however, isn’t the fact that I am…we are…getting older, or that, despite walking out of the building ten minutes ago, my first high school reunion looms in the near future. Instead, it is the fact that I ever got so lucky to be here in the first place. 2014. Married to my best friend. I just could never have imagined. Continue Reading…
HOW IS IT DECEMBER ALREADY?!
I seriously wake up expecting to see sunshine and the calendar flipped to early August. The ink on our marriage certificate? Still wet. It was basically YESTERDAY that we got married.
Basically.
But alas, here I sit in early December, sucking on a candy cane, resolving to eat less junk after the end of the holiday season.
Actually… Continue Reading…
Three months ago, I did the best thing I have ever done: I married Alex, and since then everything has looked, smelled, sounded, tasted — felt — completely different.
