I have to say that our first year of marriage has been interesting. If you read Chris' note, you'll understand. It's sure makes me appreciate all that life has to offer. It's amazing that we were able to have both of his grandmothers attend our wedding, and yet loose both of them shortly after. We were very blessed!

What else is going on a year later?
My design business has been keeping me busy. I don't seem to have much free time right now. As one project comes to a close, another one starts. But I enjoy design, and the ability to do both print and web has made it quite the challenge. Just think, I've not only been doing graphic design for over 12 years, but I have been designing for the Web since early 1996 (which some consider"old school"). Wow! I have to constantly educate myself on the latest software and trade tools.

Other exciting things in our life… SweetPea, our seven year old cat had to go to the vet twice this year because a neighbor's mean male (recently neutered) cat attacked her. The first time, she had a sore face (due to a cat's nail in the gum line) so we had to take her to the vet. That wasn't as bad as the second time. We heard a cat fight outside, so Chris went outside and broke up the fight. Again, SweetPea was injured (puncture wound in the thigh) and we again took her to the vet. It was after normal hours, and we ended up spending a lot of money, but she's worth it! I even had to get a tetanus shot because she accidentally bit me thinking I was the other cat! She also had to be "quarantined" because of it. A real pain in the butt! So now she has a curfew and stays in at night and holidays.

Well, as time goes by, it seem like we've been married a lot longer than a year, but then again, it seems like just last week I walked down the aisle to marry Chris. Every day I love him more and every day I am glad that we have found each other. I would do anything to fill his life with happiness, and I know he would do the same. That's what it is all about.

I am lucky to have a wonderful husband! Happy Anniversary Baby!

PS. I am sorry to say, shortly after writing this update, my close friend and bridesmaid, Allyson Still passed away. It was a complete shock to us, and we are still sad and dazed. It's only been a short time, and I miss her greatly.
