been a while...

So I haven't said anything for a while for absolutely no good reason. Life is busy. BUT WONDERFUL!
Danny and I just celebrated on Sunday a year of dating and 6 months of being married. These have been hands down the best six months of my life. I can honestly say that I have never felt so complete--life with Danny just works--perfectly.
So a few fun things have happened lately that I should document.
First: I had a birthday (shout hooray). If you ask Danny how old I am...his response would be "OLD." I guess to some 24 is old. I celebrated with the Hoffmans. It is a crazy birthday weekend in this family. So we had three cakes and lots of celebrating. Oh, and I cut all my hair off...

One evening, Naughty Kitty came in after a night playing around outside covered with motor oil. No, she didn't just step in it--but was soaked in it. I can't even begin to point fingers at which neighbors are responsible for a puddle of unprotected motor oil because all of them have multiple broken down cars sitting on their front lawns...
The cat, however unwilling, was relatively easy to clean...my bedspread on the other hand, was another story (don't worry...this is not the one my mom made us--we are smart enough not to actually sleep with that one). Lets just say that Dawn is a cure-all.

Danny is now a pilot. No he doesn't have his license yet--but he is using aeronautical terminology everywhere he can. And saying things like "babe I kissed the ground today--kissed it!" First time I wondered what type of crazy maneuvers he had to perform to make him want to come out of the sky bad enough to kiss a dirty runway...then I was informed that this meant he had a sweet landing. I will be a pilot's wife yet!

Newest update on the house: the stove and oven have stopped working. Just stopped. I am becoming an expert on microwave cooking...if there is such a thing. That and I can whip through a Taco Bell drive through like a pro.

We took a wonderful weekend to Denver and relaxed with the family. We got to see Wicked--which aside from our wedding was probably the highlight of the year for Danny. Danny is hoarding the only picture we have from the weekend...

We went to a family zombie golf party. Gotta love Halloween season. We were a zombie missionary couple...Ever wonder where you go when you die? We have the answers.

To celebrate six months together, I surprised Danny with a mask and top hat and tickets to go to a masquerade. It was very fun to dress up.




OK. That is all I have for now. More to come tomorrow, next week, or sometime in November...
