I thought what with just having my 1 year (marriage) anniversary (2 years together!) on August 7th, I should post a little something. No, I’m not really “off” hiatus but just giving (those of you who don’t read my personal LJ) a little update.

First off, apparently it’s a “tradition” to save the top tier of your wedding cake, freeze it, and eat it a year later. Who knew? As I didn’t have a wedding but a party/ reception nearly 2 months later, I wasn’t sure if we should save it until then or just eat it on our anniversary. Turns out NEITHER! My mom had us eat it the day before
Here’s 2 pictures for you of the cake!

We, in fact, didn’t finish it until last night

In other news? Nothing! Andy starts uni at George Mason University with a major in Chemistry & a minor in Native American Studies (so related, huh? ) the first week in September. I’m still searching for a job- have been since November 2008! My hours are dwindling and with a 30% decrease in business since last year, I’m wondering if I’ll even have a job come season end in October (I work for a guy who owns a bunch of food- related businesses)

So, that’s about it! I’ve gotten loads of film processed so keep an eye on my Flickr



12 months already?

Woohoo! Today marks 1 year for me and Gael. I have to say, this couldn’t make me happier. Before him, I had one boyfriend that broke my heart and then another. Then another. After that I just stopped having “exclusive” relationships and “dated around”. When things got too heavy or intense I broke it off.
I’m sure those of you who have been reading me since last summer remember how dramatic everything was (weren’t a reader then? curious? just click on the calendar & go back to my entries from this time last year.) and what a mess I was.
I have to say, it was all worth it. Through all the rough spots, through all my nuttiess, through it all Gael has stayed with me. I have to give him quite a bit of credit because I’m sure I haven’t always been the easiest person to deal with (though he’s not, either! ♥) yet he’s stayed. I guess I’d have to call that love. Amazing, isn’t it?

Updates on our little life we’re slowly building together?
Either this weekend or the next we’re moving in together. Permanently without constant harassment from people who don’t approve. Though we’ll have to start paying rent, it’ll make both our lives a lot easier.
Our plans of moving to Richmond (Virginia) at the end of the year are becoming more concrete. Not completely yet but I’m aiming for November to have nearly everything figured out.

 

Aw, actually, that’s it! I thought maybe there was more but not really.

 

So! Here’s to love! I’m still rather cynical but not as cynical as I used to be.
