There isn't much of an excuse for missing the better part of a year, and how I wish I had captured that year better. Not long after February, there was talk of getting married and a trip to scout rings with a girlfriend. A month later, a proposal fittingly in a kitchen, a story to be told later. Four months later, the wedding, an event that obviously deserves its own post. And now, neatly tied up in one short paragraph, we're newlyweds, living in our beautiful, two bedroom, top floor of a duplex across from the local middle school. The whirlwind summer is over and we're solidly into fall. Our living room windows line up with the tops of the trees and the leaves are harvest gold and pumpkin orange. It's become a fun, busy life grounded in the comfort of coming home to each other every night. We also eat really well. But before I get into the meals, just a few tidbits of life I'd enjoy remembering someday:
The wink of my double circle of diamonds on my left hand
B pulling me out of bed in the mornings, resorting to tickeling if necessary
The quiet of the apartment when he's out teaching
Breakfast, reading to each other interesting bits from our magazines:
B- Discover, Wood, Sports Illustrated
A- Southern Living, Our State, Garden & Gun
My breakfast constantly changes
He consistantly eats peanut butter and apricot jelly toast
Lots of cuddling
Lots of talk about our future children
Episodes of The Office to wind down at night
Lots of football all weekend
Lots of smiles
