Up: Being married is everything I thought it would be and much more. It is such fun to have your best friend around always. Plus, he flirts with me even when my hair is mussed.
Down: All the boxes that are lined up in the hallway seem daunting.
Up: But the HOARD of gifts that we have is unbelievable. There were many times when my jaw dropped in disbelief and tears flooded my eyes. There has been such an outpouring of love and kindness from our friends and family. Now we just have to find a place for everything.
Up: One of the gifts, a knife set from Bed Bath & Beyond, was given to us by a friend. His note said “Don’t cut Daniel’s neck with these.” Ha!
Down: Daniel cut his own hand on a knife in the dishwasher. Looks like I wouldn’t have to try very hard. 😉
Up: The wedding pictures are absolutely breathtaking. And a few of them are down right funny. We should have them up soon. Here’s the album of pictures.
Another Up: We’ll have either video or mp3 (or both) of the wedding on the wedsite soon.
Down: The little mat that we keep at our front door keeps blowing away. Every single day. For awhile, it was a game. Oh, where did it blow to today?? But then it became sad. Now it sits indoors.
Up: The Ringling Brother’s Barnum & Bailey Circus was money well spent.
Up: Dinner at Miyabi’s (Japanese Sushi & Steakhouse) for Jerica’s birthday was great fun. We quickly discovered that Dane and Jerica can’t dance (Jerica had to do the Birthday Chicken dance).
Up: The New Building is progressing along quite nicely. We should be in it sometime during May.
Down: Even though their is a light at the end of the tunnel (i.e. New Building), the pile of work grows by leaps and bounds each day. And it’s hard to hire more people when you are in a shoebox.
Up: One of our apartment neighbors is having a Whole House Sale and we got to go peer at her things the other evening. We bought a coffee table and several Willow Tree figurines.
Down: We haven’t had time to take our Christmas tree down yet.
Up: However, the Christmas spirit is ever alive in the apartment. Daniel still turns the lights on.
Wiggliest Up: Cracker Barrel just built next to the apartment.
