So, I was really hoping that no one would notice that I'd not been on the blogs, that I've not posted for weeks (a whole month?), that I've been completely silent since the wedding. Hm. Nathan called me out. Said that I've not been posting. He's right. So, here I am, finally getting to "blogs" which has been on my TO-DO list for days now. (This, by the way, is just ridiculous).
I've been "avoiding" the blogs for several reasons: finals week, I just got married and am a wee bit busy settling into our new flat, and I'm intimidated by our wedding as a blogging subject. So, I'm not going there yet. To everyone who helped us to get married and make it an amazing day: thank you so endlessly much. I am so grateful.
So, what to blog about if I'm not talking about my marriage. Well, I really have no clue. I feel a bit like my life has only been my brand new marriage. Mendon and I have been enjoying ourselves quite a bit often just because of our extreme burned out states.
How burned out are we? How ready are we for our honeymoon (which we leave for tomorrow!)? I hate to ruin the surprise, Nathan, but you win the all-amazing thank you note. Mendon and I were writing them, and you being his brother and all, he decided that he wanted to write you. So, he writes this note, and hands it off to me to read and sign. I look at it as he hands it to me and realize that it is upside down. Upside down, wrong side. Great. And do you know with what type of a stamp we attempted to send it to Scotland with? Oh yes, we did, we tried to use a 37 cent stamp! Awesome! And, Mendon is not the only one. I am burned out as well. How can we tell? Well, I was getting ready for bed, and as I was washing my face, I touched one of my ears and didn't feel an earring. I could feel the one on the other ear. So, I have one in, one out, and I can't remember how that happened. So, I tell Mendon, keep an eye out for it. I've no clue where it is, probably fell out somewhere in our flat. So, a whopping 30 seconds later, after I've washed my face, he comes into the bathroom, looks at me and looks back to the vanity shelf, picks up my earring that was sitting right in front of me the whole time, and hands it to me.
Maybe not the best stories, but, hey, I'm tired, burned out, and leaving for a 20 hr flight tomorrow. You'll have to wait to hear more stories about being abroad before I can include some good ones on here.
So, I'm back, and I'm sorry that I took so long to get back here. I promise, the next step is to be as good at commenting on the other Dornbrook blogs as I am about reading them (which, in my defense, I actually have been doing).
I love the new look of the blog, and the stories! Good luck travelling, you certainly deserve the rest and relaxation of your honeymoon.
Hey, Kristen!
I'm happy to see you've posted and happy to hear that you've written out your thank you cards already!
I'm not worried about whether mine is mangled or returned or upside down; that doesn't matter.
Enjoy Israel!
Nate- I hear you've moved from Fettes Row- No more three dimensional wallpaper:(
Yes! I have moved. And I've moved into a place on Queen Street that has even more massive wallpaper. It's silk and has gold thread in it and cost six thousand dollars! which is ridiculous. But it's pretty and I didn't have to pay for it.
