Yes, yes it is me up and at'm in the blogging world again. A lot has happened over the last 3 weeks... I just never took the time to write it all down. Shame on me. One thing that you probably saw on FB was that our dear puppy, Channing, passed away. His meds weren't working anymore, and he had a really bad episode Monday night where we literally thought he was dying in our arms. I put him to bed that night expecting him to not wake up in the morning. He woke up, but he never fully recovered and passed away at the vet's clinic Wed. afternoon. While I was shocked that he actually didn't make it, I was also a bit relieved, sadly. It was like taking care of a special needs dog for the last 2 months. Matt & I were constantly asking ourselves how much we wanted to spend at the vet next. Channing would keep us up at night, and I could feel myself constantly tense while around him, not sure what symptom would manifest itself next. Normally, I...

So, yesterday was Matt & my 2-month anniversary! Happy Anniversary to us! And yes, it has been magical, wonderful, frustrating, invigorating, and beautiful all at once! Unfortunately, we were both home sick for the day yesterday. Well, he stayed home. I made it at work 'till 3:30, then called it quits. We were pathetic with me laying in bed and him laying on the couch watching our prospective shows for  hours and hours and hours on end. We were on a walk with the dogs the other day, and our little tradition is to evaluate our relationship while walking the dogs. 1. This tradition started when we were dating. 2. We don't walk the dogs often; therefore, we're able to evaluate our  relationship a couple months at a time. I would suggest NOT doing this if walking your dogs is a daily activity. We asked each other what we've learned about marriage that we didn't expect. Honestly, I don't remember waht he said.  Something along...

Morning after the wedding on our way to Cancun. I really can't express how incredibly happy I am being married. Some women have always wanted a career, others want to be mothers from the time they're children... I've always wanted to be married. Tapas Dinner I've never felt lonely or overwhelmingly dejected in my childhood, so I can't quite explain why I've always looked forward to marriage, but I think the idea of always having companionship, someone who ENJOYS being around you so much that they decided to make a public declaration that they would never leave you, the idea of someone knowing me inside and out and never giving up on me... Maybe it's because it's the closest form of comparison to what the Lord is to all His children.  It's the truest form on Earth of how the Lord loves His bridegroom. Spa Day! I was quite scared that since I had looked forward to it so much that I would be sorely disappoint...
