back!

First entry as old married hag (I'm appropriating that one from my cousin Danielle, who I've now dubbed the "Head Hag"). w00000!

So, after a wonderful, amazing wedding with tons of people we love celebrating our life together, we embarked on what became sorta the honeymoon from hell. From lost luggage to smoky rooms to hours wandering lost to forgotten meals to getting caught outside in a severe storm to having our luggage lost for three and a half days to bickering constantly, it had its downs. Still, we managed to have a great time most of the time. My birthday in Montreal was esp. fun because we went to the botanical gardens and then took a cruise and then ate an ungodly expensive dinner (ok, that was actually a bit freaky -- BUT I got a birthday chocolate souffle out of it!). The best part of the trip was visiting family in NY. We had no luggage for most of it but it was wonderful to see everyone and to stay with cousins.

We got home and now it's been apartment time!!! Our lovely apartment in Linden Hills is finally coming together (the final coats of wax went onto the dining table, Qwest finally fixed our crossed phone lines and we were able to run lines throughout the apartment). It's been so nice to have a kitchen after many years of carrying a paper bag of ingredients to the hall kitchen! Actually one of the best parts has been going to class and heading home knowing my fabulous husband is there when I get back. Now we're excited to have friends come visit... hint hint!
