"more than a feeling..."


The last few days have been exhausting, just trying to get used to the new schedule of our lives right now, while trying to sqeeze in some other things.

Not to mention the new techno twins upstairs that feel it is necessary to blast techno all evening. There has been someother things going on outside of our control, that are a tad stressful, but what I need to stress here, is that I don't care about any of it. I love Colin with my whole heart, I am the happiest I have ever been i my life, and if people can't accept or deal with that, then that is their loss and believe me it will be their loss. We have been through a lot in the last 6 months, all outside of our control and all dealing with basically the same people that can't get on with their own lives, but I would do it all again in a heartbeat because it has been more than worth it!
Tonight is the Wilhelm Scream concert, tomorrow is our housewarming party, Sunday I have a fabulous date set up with kelli and then at night it is the "street light manifesto" concert. Going to be a great weekend, leading into a short week and MY BIRTHDAY WEEKEND! EEE! ( I just noticed that when it comes down to it, no matter what, my life is GREAT!)

Life's little Indulgences...


I am very tired today. I am looking forward to going home, sprawling out on our enourmous couch and reading my book - that is until I can induldge in some crime dramas with a side of David Boreanaz. We have been so busy and are going to continue to be so packed full of fun for the month of October, it is nice to just go home and totally veg out. It helps that I can be a total TV head while Colin works late tonight too! haha.
Tomorrow night - A WILHELM SCREAM!

How do polar bears know their noses are black?


After work last night, Colin and I went on movie date. We saw the Informant - it was a lot different than I was expecting, it was a little long, and a little much by the end, but I enjoyed it for the most part.

And wherever we are home is there too.

This weekend was very productive!
After my amazing massage at the spa on Saturday, we went hardcore into the things we needed to do that we have been putting off!

We went grocery shopping! I made TWO dinners that did not involve pasta that Colin liked AND we drank a lot of red wine!

We finally picked out and painted the bedroom, and moved my bed upstairs - well the mattress. TODAY the frame will be moved up as well. I spent the afternoon while Colin was at baseball bringing up the remainder of my things from my apartment. It was so nice last night not to have to go all the way down to my apartment when we wanted to go to bed, and to wake up and simply walk into the bathroom instead of roaming up and down between the two places. There is still a few things to sort out that are currently piled in the livingroom, but nothing too extensive. It feels so good to watch our little apartment develop into a home, and to know we did it all with our own two hands.

It's funny I was talking to my mom the other day - they bought new lake front property and are selling their house, for years I have been so against them moving, but the last few times I went to visit, it no longer felt like MY home. As cheesy as it sounds, I actually understand the meaning of your home being in someone else. I have never felt that before, it's pretty amazing. I remember when I was little never understanding how I would ever not feel like my parents home is my own, but I get it now and I guess that means I am really growing up. I am actually really excited for them to move - even though it will be awhile from now, as they are tearing down the current building and building their dream home!


I'll post pictures of our place once we finish setting it up!

You probably heard we ain’t in the prisoner-takin’ business; we in the killin’ Nazi business. And cousin, Business is a-boomin’.




Finally made it out to see Inglourious Basterds Friday night after work, and it was fantastic. I was afraid it was going to be really long and lose interest, this however was not the case at all, I enjoyed the humor a great deal and Brad Pitt was of course, also a huge highlight.
I would put it near the top of my favorite Tarantino movies for sure.

"and it's so easy when the whole world fits inside of your arms"

Alright so this is the last post about our Anniversary!
I felt it was necessary to post pictures of the event itself! We ended up going to a different resturant that apparently took Mints place. The food was glorious and gave us an excuse to get dolled up. After dinner we came home to bask in our awesomeness over lots of red wine. It was the greatest anniversary ever!

I wanted to get Colin tickets to New Found Glory for December 13th in Toronto - since it was annouced just this week, tickets are not yet avalible, so I made a pop up card which is almost as good. (plus the arts and crafts brought back happy memories of my childhood).

This was a full boooklet, but I felt taking photos of each page was a little much, it included a suprise spa treat for saturday, anicdotes of our time together as well as some other mushiness. Simply amazing!

I don't think this photo needs much explination - HAPPY 6 MONTHS!
