Three Years

Three years ago tonight, I met my lovely wife Erin.

We both went to see Sunshine - she with the Indie Film Meetup, and me with the Sunday Night Film Club. The two groups had arranged to get together afterwards, and so we met each other over a crappy meal and disagreed about the movie - I liked it, she didn't.

Along with a few other people, we went to the bar for drinks after dinner, and the two of us got to talking about music and religion. A week later, she Facebook-stalked me to invite me out with some friends. Later that weekend, we went to a punk show together. Another week after that, we went on our first date. Exactly four months after that, we signed a lease on our first apartment together. Four more months after that, I proposed, and we were wed a year and a half later. Read more »

Our Wedding and Honeymoon (Finally!)

It's hard to believe that Erin and I celebrated our six-mothiversary last week. We were married on September 19 near her parents' home outside Detroit, Michigan. It's almost surreal to look back on it now: after spending 18 months planning and preparing for the biggest day of your life, it's a little disorienting when the day comes, and just like that, it's over and behind you and holy crap, has it been six months already?

A Typical Evening In Our Home

- I didn't even realize - this bouquet I got has snap dragons in it.

- Snap dragons?

- Yeah, you squeeze them and they pop open.

- Oh, touch-me-nots.

- Snap dragons.

- Touch-me-nots.

- Snap dragons!

- Fried dough!

- Elephant ears!

- Soda!

- Pop!

- Rasberries!

Meatstravaganza

Yesterday, I went the Dupont Circle Farmer's Market with Erin and her sister Meghan. We picked up some fruits and vegetables, fresh bread, and - more importantly - buffalo burgers, lamb sausage, and lamb steak. I wanted to put something in the fridge to thaw for dinner tonight, so I asked Erin if she wanted buffalo or lamb for dinner.

"Why can't we do both?"

"What, like one for lunch and one for dinner?"

"Yeah, we'll just eat meat all day."

Have I told you, dear Internet, how much I love this woman?
