State Fair!

It was a fun day of animals, exhibits, walking, and food! When I think about it, it's kind of sad we pay $8 each to eat food all day! Cause that's about all we actually do.... (except for lovee -- I always fill him up before we go, and then he never wants to eat! I get hungry much more quickly which is a curse and a blessing.) So, we ate a deep fried milky way bar (yummy!) and callanes or something (deep fried batter with a cream filling) and tons of cookies! and all you can drink milk (2 glasses, esp. cause lovee is somewhat allergic) and hmm... of course i ate the vita-mix samples they make. and the organic foods section was a bit of a disappointment this year (which i heard others whisper, as well). so really, we didn't eat too much but a lot of calories! but to the left here's a cute lil pic of me and a baby calf in the miracle barn; he was only 1 day old! and weighed more than me - haha! as you can see i was a bit excited!! I must admit, though, the barn does gross me out a bit. I'm thankfully a little too immature for it ;) Fun day with the hubby, lovee!

Being Married...

ya know what, it's weird. in one sense, it's incredibly fun! you get to hang out all day and have somewhere that you can do anything in front of - and they still love you! you can goof and laugh and totally be yourself. but here's the stinky part - when they're down or bumming or just wanna be lazy (and you don't want to), you're stuck with them. it's not like before when you're best friend is cranky and you can just get away -- not in this tiny one bedroom apartment. it really doesn't bother me too much, except what else am I to do! I feel as though I have very few friends as no one ever calls. and those that do actually live too far away to hang out. so, here i am, 'watching' vikings football and not giving a crap about it cause there are so many better things on and its only preseason! hmph

well, here is a pic to smile at. i googled 'marriage' - and it was the best image on the first page, in my opinion.

i have a new last name!
strange.
i feel as though
i should feel like a new person.
i am.
yet i'm not. i feel the same.
odd?
exciting?
surreal?
yes to all of the above.
bravo. my checks will come soon.
that will be craazy.

done. done. and done.

welp, the wedding is over. yes, it's done. so weird. i love it though. lovee and i are having so much fun together. it's so fabulous to have that feeling - that we're never leaving each other. everything just feels better that way. yet, i miss wedding planning. just a little. when i go online, i no longer look at wedding stuff. part of me is sooo glad - i have no pull to keep checking on bigger and better things. yet, it's sad. no more deciding. what's done is done. and it was fabulous, yes, but .... it's hard seeing other weddings and trying to envision if mine was just as beautiful. inside i know it was. it was as perfect as i could have asked for. and such a great time. once i get my wedding photos, i think i'll have more closure. i've seen very few images from the day, and it'd be nice to see how it was through other people's eyes. when it's your day, it's tough to notice everything. and you do wonder if people had a great time (which i've heard they had a ball!)
so --- photographer --- get to it! blog some photos. puhlease. it is killing me. thanks.
