Changing Seasons

Today there was snow in the air...and on my car, and a little on the ground. I'm probably one of the few people in the greater Rochester area excited to see snow. I guess living in Texas for 2 years will do that to a girl. I'm really excited for our first big snow fall...I'm rather jealous of the eastern half of the state. Now keep in mind, I do work outside. :) It feels like winter outside. Wegman's (and everyone else) has Christmas decorations out already..I love it. I love the holidays. Thanksgiving is coming up so soon, it seems unreal. We will be having 3 Thanksgiving 'dinners' this year and I'm all sorts of thrilled. In other news, the hubby and I went to see Legally Blonde the Musical on Friday. It was hilarious and better than even I thought it would be! We made a total date night out of it and had dinner beforehand. It was really nice. I had a great time.
Sunday my mom and John came over for the Bills game. We made a ton of food, watched the game, and put plastic up over my windows to help fight drafts. All in all it was a long, but good day.
Not much else exciting to report.
Off to nap before Private Practice starts. No, I cannot stay up until 10pm without a nap.
Zeus found my tulle/white lights (from head/cake/gift tables at the wedding). He's so unimpressed.

The Little Things

I don't think i'm a boring person. I have a cool job, and a cool wife, and a cool slit level townhouse, and two cool dogs, and two cool turtles, and a cool family. I'm kind of a big deal. I don't want to turn into one of those people who says things like, "yeah, I used to be like that...but then I got married and had kids and blah blah..." I know, why in the world would I need to justify my coolness to the world? Luen says things sometimes like, "I don't know how I used to do, working 50 hours a week, going out all the time, and taking care of Ace." What she doesn't realize is that she is still that person. She works six days a week, rides with Cara, goes out with me on Friday's, cooks dinner most nights, and has time to be a good wife. I don't think I've changed all that much. I may be more mature, and a bit more tan, and a bit more hot, and a bit more rich, but all in all, I'm pretty much the same. I see a lot more of "the old her" now that Cara is around. It makes me happy. Being back in Rochester is bringing back parts of her that I fell in love with all those years ago. Life is good.

On a side note, I'm really getting tired of the election coverage. I'm missing good shows. I know for a fact that no matter who gets elected, they are going to do whatever they want to do once they're in office. Political campaign promises are rarely fullfilled, because they don't have the power to do what they promise. The president can't magically pass legislature. They have to work with a bunch of frustratingly old, crotchedy farts who are hardly ever present when it comes time to vote. I'm so fed up with this countries government. But, if I don't vote, then I'm just contributing to the problem. So, I have to vote. I'm just not super happy about it. Excuse the rant.

I should go pro...

Sometimes I amaze myself with my photographic abilities. I always wanted to be a photographer, it seems like so much fun! I took these pictures over the last 3 days. They are of the first frost of the season (at my job on Monday) and then the sunrise yesterday morning (on my way to work).

Ok, time to go doze on the couch for a bit before Grey's starts. :)

Just Settling In

Well, I suppose I should share my side of things. Our one month anniversary came and went. It doesn't feel like one month at all. I see how my parents/grandparents/old people in general used to say that time flies as you get older. I look at the calender and think, "Wow, is it already October?" Some times I kind of resent time speeding up. It's as though time senses life becoming more ordered and presses the gas to shake things up.

I'm very excited that I get to see my family soon. I do miss everybody. Some of the best moments are getting random phone calls from my family; Dustin calling to tell me about some new songs that he's written, Dad calling to tell me that his plant was in danger of shutting down when Pawpaw came up with a plan that kept it running, or Mom calling to chat about anything. I've noticed that my family calls me much more often now. I guess that is what 1550 miles of seperation will do to a person. Little Harry might be coming to visit over spring break. I think he should come up in January. He would like snow.

Speaking of winter, I'm really excited for my first winter in NY. I've visited during the winter, but living here during the winter should be quite a bit different.

I am really happy right now. I still have problems, but they don't really matter all that much. I have been working on accepting things that I can't do anything about. I've also learned that thinking about a problem's eventual resolution makes my head hurt. I love my wife (and 2nd wife), I love my job, I love my pups, I love my family, I love my inlaws, I really like my apartment (except the spiders), and I like building a savings for once.

Time to get back to work.

1 Month!

I was planning on writing an actual blog tonight, but after all the fighting I've done with this layout...I've changed my mind.

However, I do feel the need to mention that we've been MARRIED FOR 1 MONTH!!! 1 month ago I was dancing like a fool at our reception with all of our closest friends and family.

That is all.

For now.
