Just a question – what happens to all that cute stuff people are always pinning–specifically the stuff that is intended to be a gift for your husband? I mean paper crafts and things of that nature. People who pin these things usually put a comment under it like “He’ll LOVE this!” or “I’m SO doing [...]
This past year especially, I feel like our relationship has had to be stronger than ever. It’s a funny dynamic really. On one hand, we appear (on the surface) to largely ignore our relationship. We live in the same house, yes. We work at the same company, yes. But we drive separately to work, and [...]
Wow, that’s a whimsy-filled title for a post about home decor. But for a long time, I’ve been wanting to start a tradition I saw mentioned on this house-crashing post by Young House Love: having items in your home to commemorate states you’ve called home. I think I’ve made it semi-clear before that Mr. N [...]
I’m so excited to share this with you… Our wedding album has arrived (and only 18 months after the wedding!). A really long time ago, I blogged about how in love we were with the $1000 (or +) albums offered through our photographer. They were amazing. Seriously amazing. But after the wedding was over and [...]
Boy, I think it’s “show and tell” week! Here’s another fun little thing I’ve been meaning to share. On our wedding day, Mr. N presented me with a lovely little gift… [Shawna Noel Photography] A right-hand ring! It has his birthstones, and mine. I loved it, but it wasn’t exactly my style setting. I wore [...]
(Only what… 6 weeks late?) Way back in September, Mr. N and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary. Since we cut our original cake at home with no um…cake cutting professionals in sight, we had no direction as to how it should be done. Thus, we cut the top tier of the cake on our [...]
It’s our anniversary! [source] (Perhaps you recall… the wedding?) I’ll post in a few days about how we spent it. (Some hints: Mr. Nodakademic is super-sick, I have class tonight after work, our gift(s) didn’t arrive on time, and this weekend we’re going to someone else’s wedding.) Regardless of how we spend the day though… [...]
I used to do a lot of stuff that people traditionally associate with the man of the house. Car maintenance is one example. Computer and web-related endeavors are another. I always used to be the family ‘geek’. You know, the one people call when their email ‘breaks’ or their internet is ‘acting up’? I generally [...]
On September 9, 2009, we got married. (credit) Only 4 more months until our honeymoon!
On this, our “engage-iversary”, I unsubscribed from all of the wedding planning blogs in my Google Reader. (Exceptions: the personal blogs of friends who are planning weddings, and the one site in particular that I am associated with.) For months, I’ve been half-assedly skimming the posts or just checking “Mark All as Read” anyway. It’s [...]
Late-20s yuppie, professional techie, terminal student. I probably live farther north than you do. (
