I'm surviving the next week with a lil help from my husband. My house has to get on the market, it's our one year anniversary, and we hadn't seen each other in 51 weeks. So thankful he's here!

Nice job on the triathlon Emily! And I'm glad you're settling into life together CharlieB. Hopefully the wait won't be too much longer for the rest of us in the knitting, origami, and interpretive dance circle!

Ugh 51 weeks - that's practically the whole of your first year! So glad you're getting to be together for a week! Happy anniversary and good luck with the house sale. I'll be extra grateful Beth is here now! Wishing for speedy, art n craft filled, endurable waits and smooth reunions for all!

Did it! Here's the proof. Plus a pic of me and Beth that y'all asked for a month ago. Thanks so much for your encouragement!

That's us done getting married, so now we can just BE married! So far, so good. A couple of "international moving is HARD" moments, but we expected those. I'm down to one lemsip a day as well, so that helps overall morale!

Missing my kitty today and very sad that he doesn't have his partner in crime anymore.  But he does look happy in the photos from the cat sitter.

It's awesome that you have a great cat sitter, so much better than kennels if you can find one that you trust.  :)

Will there be the pitter patter of little kitten feet any time in the near future?  :D

Enjoy the rest of your trip!  ;D

So great that he was able to make it out for your anniversary.   [smiley=love.gif]   Have a wonderful time together!   :D

We think we'll just go from the first one, but DH is notoriously forgetful, so I wouldn't be surprised if he tries to celebrate the later ones "on purpose" some years.

Yum! I have been tasked with making some hats and scarves for a raffle at a fundraiser, so there will be more crochet pieces to share soon! I also bought a couple craftsy kits to try out for making sweaters, as I've pretty much stuck with simple stuff so far!
