Things I love about my life right now.


FYI This picture was supposed to go under #8 but I can't figure out how to do it. I have serious desires to switch over to WordPress. Dumb. This is one of the only pictures we have from our wedding day. For now. P.S. It was raining.
1. I live .6 miles away from the most amazing grocery store I've ever been to in my LIFE. It's called Russo's and I love it.

(1). Did you see how I just made that word Russo's into a link? Yeah, Allen taught me how to do that and I've been feeling reaaaaaaally cool lately. I'm so Internet savvy.

2. Back to Russo's. Not only do they have incredible produce, and I mean incredible, but they play CLASSICAL MUSIC over the speakers. What? I was walking through there a few days ago and the Nielsen Woodwind Quintet was playing.... since when has anyone ever heard the Nielsen Woodwind Quintet in a grocery store? That's what I thought... And just to clarify, I'm not one to listen to classical music like crazy, but it always makes me happy to hear classical music being played in public places as opposed to the usual tunes. One of the finer things, ya know?

3. I'm MARRIED! To my best friend, too. Our life is a serious party. Allen parties a little harder than I do in general, but I'm having a pretty good time myself. That's not to say I love married life less than he does, but I'm not the one running around our apartment dancing, shaking my booty, and singing songs about married life. At 8 o'clock in the morning. I'm a little more tame. TMI?

4. We live in what we like to call The Barbie Dreamhouse. Bathroom and kitchen are newly renovated, granite counter tops, and we even have not one but TWO light switches that have that little slider thing on the side so that you can dim the lights. How is that for romantical?! I know, right? And we DO have an extra bedroom with a bed, so if you're feeling like a visit.....


5. My husband came out this morning wearing my pajamas. Who is he? I think I laugh more than most human beings living with the roommate that I do.


6. We live in a winter wonderland. It snowed about 18 inches last week and a few more on Tuesday and now we’re getting around 8. Unfortunately I can’t make it to school. Here’s what it looked like outside our house during the FIRST snow….



7. I threw these shoes in the trashcan last week. :) We call them the "grandpa shoes." Who knows that really means, but they were preeeeeetty gross and I had permission to throw them away. AT LAST.


8. We had the best wedding there ever was. Not only did we get married for eternity, but we had a serious celebration to go along with it. I’m talking serious. Pictures are supposed to come by the end of this week and you better believe I will post some here. I don’t know how I feel about posting everything on fb—I’ll probably put a few up, but check here for the ril dil.


9. We had a lovely trip out to Penryn, CA, to visit Allen’s parents and have a little open house. Everything was so nicely done and it was so fun to get to meet the people that have known Allen since he was a little guy. Here are some pictures……




Listen, sometimes you gotta look your best for the camera, okay? Some people always look good. Like us.


10. We had a few days of warmth in Mexico. Here are all 2 pictures we took. :)


11. I am back to blogging. Maybe. After I write 1000 thank yous. And if you haven't gotten yours yet, IT'S COMING!!!

Number one thing I like about your life is #3, I think? I love Allen. He is awesome and he should be #1, over Russo's....a supermarket? I did check out the link and it looks like I will be stopping there on my next trip to Boston which will be when?

Annie! Thanks for the much anticipated post! But I'm with your mom, marriage life is #3? :-) But it makes me happy to read that you're so happy! I may take you up on that extra bedroom idea, I've always wanted to stay at the Barbie's Dreamhouse. :-P

Luv catching up on your blog. I love Allen too! I didn't know he had such dancing skills until your reception night. By the way, my girls keep asking if we can go back to "that place". Yes, it was the the funnest reception ever!!!
Love you!
