one week-iversary

Welp, we've made it a week together,
Nothing feels super different except the fact that I can't stretch out in bed anymore.
Actually I'm sure that I still do, except now there's just someone there to make it more difficult....
But I'm proud to report that there have been no fights.
Unless you count "Who loves who more" or some cheesy junk like that as a fight.
OOh wait. We did have to make a pretty big decision....
Which side of the bed we will each sleep on.
We both wanted the right.
Somehow I ended up on the left...
It doesn't help that he goes to bed first so he gets the prime pickings for the night.
Other than that we are still just madly in love.
I pick his socks up off the floor and he washes the dishes.
It's true love.

nearly marrieds

In one week we will be married.
How is that even possible?
How are we ready?
Aren't we still like 12 or something?
I mean, I still don't know how to hard-boil an egg.
Clearly, I'm not prepared to welcome a man into my life.
We have been getting lots ready though.
(Well, my mom and sisters have....)
But I did get my endowments out yesterday.
And.... I nearly vomited.
I had a migraine for the first half and then was incredibly nauseous the second half.
So I didn't really get much out of it but.
I made it through the whole 3.5 hours without hurling.
So, job well done me.

goblin valley

For Labor Day we decided to go on an adventure.
We both had work off, which was a miracle....
And it wouldn't be right spending it vegging for 24 hours.
So we went down to Goblin Valley with Derek's family.
We figured that we better go see this place before the activists get ahold of it.
There will be fences around this natural playground in no time, so go check it out now!
