Well, I know I haven't updated since I got back from my trip, and that's because my life has been in a state of upheaval since then. 2014 has gotten off to a pretty rough start, if I'm being honest. Basically, things between me and Brad have been steadily going downhill for quite a while, really, and it all came to a head while I was gone/when I ( Read more... )

Hoooooooly crap, it has been a long time since I've posted. I was trying to get away from apologizing every time that happened, but this really has been longer than I thought it was. I went to catch up on my friends page Friday night, and was quite surprised to have to skip 120 entries and even then be at the bottom of the page before I hit the ( Read more... )

(Omg, two posts from me in less than a week! Insert obligatory freak-out about the world ending here.)

So, I just read this post on APW, and this paragraph in particular really resonated with me:

I don’t know about you, but it’s scary and lonely to not see a lot of other models of happy, healthy marriages in real life. It feels like every few ( Read more... )

Word association meme: you comment on this entry and I give you five words that I associate with you. Then you write an entry explaining what these words mean to you and what you think about them, etc. My words from Claudia (utopiandream) are below:

1. Brad - My husband, my Canadian, my teddy bear ninja. We've been married for just over a year now, and ( Read more... )

FRIENDS! *hugs livejournal* utopiandream sent me a nudge the other day, which I probably deserved, because I know it's been a little while. The thing is, I've had an entry building in my head all week, and have really been wanting to write one, I just have. not. had. time. I was trying to figure out why I feel like I've been so busy, and well, it's because I ( Read more... )

Look, I'm famous on the internets! Okay, not really, but appearing in two other places on the internet in the same week is pretty rare for me. The first is just a mention of my anniversary*, which is exciting to me, but maybe not so much to other people. And the second, omg. Cracks me the hell up. It's a fairly good representation of how silly we ( Read more... )

I am feeling good about life lately. I feel content, and more like myself. Money is still a bit tight, but at least it's coming in and we're making do without having to borrow anymore. Things are just starting to get into full swing at work, so I'm feeling more productive there. The weather has definitely been very fall-like all week, and while I ( Read more... )

This entry will contain Good Things! First, Brad and I had our first meal on our new barbecue last night. We assembled it on Monday and then went out yesterday to get all the accoutrements for it, and Brad cooked us some hamburgers, and it was delicious. It was one of those "look at us, we are a real grown up married couple cooking things on our ( Read more... )

Oh hello there, LJ. I've been reading all of your entries, but I think I needed a little hiatus from writing after that 30 day thing. I don't know that I'll do another one of those any time soon ( Read more... )

Day 21- One of your favorite shows.
Day 22- How you have changed in the past two years.Well. There's probably quite a bit I could say here. On a surface level, two years ago, I was still a grad student, getting ready to graduate and then finish up my internship. Since then, I worked at my last summer camp job (at least, for the time being), was ( Read more... )
