AAAHHHHH!

I'm tired. Why? Because I just ran two miles. Yep. I don't care that in the grand scheme of things that isn't really a long distance, it is a big deal to me. Two miles, straight, without stopping, even though I really, really wanted to. It's the longest I've ever run before in my entire life. I pretty much hated every minute of it, but I am nonetheless very proud of myself now (hence the post) and I will definitely be doing it again.

On other news, Chris left last Wednesday for wildland firefighting duty and he was called out to a fire Thursday and Friday so I didn't get to talk to him on our anniversary. He came home last night and I've got to say, the absence thing so far is a good thing. He has been so crazy lovey since he got back. We celebrated our anniversary tonight with a date and saw Inception (good, but confounding). Tomorrow we are planning a hike and then have a birthday party in the evening, then he leaves again on Wednesday :( Missing a picture? Oh ok. Here are a couple pics of the babes doing what they do.

on my husband

Well, today is the anniversary of our first year of marriage, and what am I doing? I'm sitting here at home just relaxing with a sleeping puppy. Chris is out of town on fire duty and I'm expecting to be alone for the next several days. I am sad we won't be spending the day together, but I am looking forward to some down time to read a book and work on some paintings I'm doing. Absence is good, you know what they say about fondess and such.

Anyway, I just wanted to reflect on some of the things I love about him:

1. the way he takes care of me when I'm sick

2. how much he loves our furry babies

3. that he is really good at cleaning

4. I never have to fight him over chocolate

5. he says he not a snuggler, be he totally is

I'll leave it at that.

Happy Anniversary Baby!
