Hello? Anyone out there?

I recognize I've been totally MIA, but it's not because we haven't had anything interesting going on. Well, let me rephrase that. We've had lots going on, and it is interesting, but probably just to us. For now, I'll spare you the mundane details of chronicling of our newly-wedded bliss.


We breezed through January. I was excited about the prospect of finally having our weekends back (previously held hostage by football and all things holiday). I was so excited to experience what being a newlywed on a weekend was really like. We've gotten our weekday routine down...Graham makes the coffee and makes the bed, I feed the dogs and take them out. I cook dinner, he sets the table TV trays and does the dishes. I've really been looking forward to developing a weekend routine. Last Saturday was fantastic; a perfect day. The day started with a dozen roses and breakfast in bed in pj's. We ran errands all morning with the dogs. Graham even took me FABRIC SHOPPING. No complaining either!!! He took me to dinner at our favorite date restaurant, Harry and Sons in Virginia Highlands. (Okay, before someone points out that it was Valentine's day, I remind you it's my blog and I can pretend that Graham would do all of this no matter what). I was thinking how great life was picturing that this was what every Saturday would be like! Then, just like that, it ended. My friends, baseball has begun.

I now have my Saturdays back, but have lost my husband to another sport. Maybe one day Graham and I will have our Saturdays. Until then, you can find us at this ball park.
