I just looked up our first dance song (" Don't Stop" by Patrick and Eugene) to make a comment on a journal post, and I hit "play" on itunes, because I don't think I've heard it much since the wedding ( Read more... )

We put our Burning Man tickets on the market last night. They were almost instantly snatched up, which didn't surprise me at all. But it made me sad ( Read more... )

About a month and a half after our wedding, we went to Austin, where our friend Pixie of Pixie Vision Productions was shooting a belly dance convention.  Pixie had taken pictures of us three years ago (and pictures of our dogs), and when those photos came out, we were amazed at how good we looked.  My avatar picture here and other venues is from ( Read more... )

I was maybe seven or eight and looked pretty much like an ordinary kid in nice clothes that I already owned. I knew at my wedding that I wouldn't single ( Read more... )

At some point in the middle of the night on Friday, the wind started to pick up. It woke me at least once, and I started to worry a little more about the weather ( Read more... )

Friday, April 13, 2012I woke up early on Friday morning, and I strapped on my running shoes, jog bra, heart rate monitor and ipod. I kissed my sleeping fiance and told Celosa to be good, and I took off on a run of a little under three miles.
