jason laughed so hard when he saw that i had bought these, but i am so excited about them.
two times a week i attend a body combat class at my gym.
i don’t actually hit anything other than the air, but i think i’ll look better with pink “gloves” on!
also, they will keep my hands from getting so sweaty.
this is my new bag i made!
i got the instructions from this blog.
it was super easy, and looks awesome!
my photograph is on the cover of blue earth review!
it’s just a college literary magazine, but it’s still pretty cool to see my photograph on the cover.
did i mention that my photo was on the cover?
Here are pictures from our anniversary weekend.
We got the same cabin we have gotten for the last two years.
It was so great to just hang out for the weekend.
Oh and we got to bring Euchre along, after all she is a part of the family now!
really? can a dog be any cuter?
sorry, there are no pictures of me. That is what happens when you are the photographer!
Five years ago, on January 22, 2005, I had the privilege of marrying the most wonderful man.
Five years ago.
That is what floors me.
On my wedding day, five years seemed so far away, so unattainable, and so unreal.
I love my husband, and I am so thankful for him.
I don’t show him, or tell him nearly enough.
I look at where we were five years ago, and I am amazed at where we have come.
In the last five years we have accomplished so much, and none of our accomplishments would have happened without each other.
We have:
moved to Marquette, and learned how to make hard transitions a little easier, and how to make new friends and then let those same friends go
finished a master’s degree, (and then started another one)
finally graduated with a bachelors of fine arts
drove around ireland
learned to accept the other for who they are
got a puppy
traveled back and forth across the country on a train for a month
quit smoking
got rid of cable TV
traveled to amsterdam, belgium, and france
started teaching college classes
changed our diet and lifestyle
joined a gym
hired a personal trainer
learned how to communicate better, and to resolve issues faster
took a road trip across the country alone
spent 4th of july in pasedena with friends and then drove home together
hiked through the porkies
snow shoed
cross country skiied
quit wearing makeup most of the time
and
worked, toiled, laughed, sweat, cried, and endured five wonderful years of marriage.
i can’t wait for five more!
if you couldn’t tell from the post below, i finally have a computer again!
i thought that i would be a big person and go without one for a month (which i did), and that i wouldn’t need to use a computer that much.
boy was i wrong!
i do everything on the computer, and i was especially lost when it came to my photos.
oh, i’d check my email on jason’s computer, and i’d look a few things up, but i couldn’t do anything with the 1000+ images on my camera.
so, i broke down, called (stalked) a friend who is a mac dealer, and ordered myself a beautiful 15″ macbook pro.
it came in the mail on thursday, and we really haven’t been separated much since!
so, the photos below are just a sampling of all of the images i have gone through the last couple of days.
i figure it’s kind of like “where’s waldo”? you have to try and find you or your kids somewhere in the jumble of images.
we were so blessed to be able to spend time with family and friends over Christmas and new years, we had a great time, so thank you!
(p.s. if i promised you a cd of pictures, they will be in the mail on monday!)
