Kitties and Houses

Sup Bloggert,

You are now conversing with the semi-new Mrs. Ham. The subject of this blog post really sums up what my life is right now. I love my new cat and I love dreaming of living in a house with Dylan and Jack and Lily and Luggage. We're locked into a 6 month lease for now, so looks like the earliest we'll move into a house will be November. But anyway, it seems like a good time to buy if you're willing to be in a house for awhile. And we plan to be here for oh say 5 more years, so that's good right? I don't know....

Do you want to hear about my wedding and my honeymoon? My wedding was the best day of my whole life. The week leading up to my wedding was the most amazing week of my life for so many reasons. I am just a very lucky person. It was fantastic seeing my uncle for the first time since his accident. We'll always be grateful that he was well enough to do the ceremony--though we probably got pretty close to killing him. My bad! The wedding itself went by really fast. I still feel a ton of guilt for not talking to everyone who was there. Some people travelled really far to be there and they have no idea how much I appreciated it! I can't imagine if our wedding had been any bigger because that would have just been more guilt! I was so busy eating way too much food and dancing until I nearly died, that I guess I didn't get around to thanking everyone. I think everyone I know should get married at the Indiana State Museum. They were simply the bomb. I would give them my highest recommendation. I planned that entire wedding over e-mails. Granted, it wasn't the fanciest wedding ever, but when you're dealing with Crystal Catering you know they're gonna be on point. I am hopeful that my guests appreciated the Colts theme and didn't think it was too tacky. lol It was the only kind of wedding I could support. Anyway, it was just a really happy day. I wish I could walk down the aisle every day. That was my favorite part. Seeing everyone look so beautiful as I walked down the aisle brought a huge smile to my face! I'm so lucky to have beautiful friends and family.

Now on to the honeymoon. Well, it was the best vacation of my life. Of course since it was my honeymoon, anywhere would have been awesome. We were in Bonaire and we went scuba diving every day except the last day bc you're "not supposed to dive before flying" technically, although I guess you actually can now but who wants to risk their life? Anyhoo, we saw turtles and boxfish and squid and eels and fish that always swam in pairs bc they were lovers. It was the most amazing time. We had some pretty good food. And some pretty nasty food (iguana soup anyone?). We considered living there. It would just be so amazing. Hopefully we'll be able to go back someday. It's so worth the money. Our condo was the bomb. Just lovely and romantico.

So much to say about the wedding and honeymoon but this is probably getting boring. Things in Colorado have been good. I'm still working part-time and NCAR's budget took a "hit" this year so I'm not expecting that to change anytime soon. Somehow we're able to have pretty fantastic lives even on the tiny amount of money that we do make.

Every once in awhile I have dreams with my nanny in them. They're always just sort of us hanging out with the family and I seek her approval on something. So I think while that may seem creepy to some, is actually a nice thing for me. In my most recent dream with her I had written her a letter all about how much she meant to me and how grateful I was to have her and I got to give her the letter in the dream. Not the same as being able to express your feelings in real life, but I'm trying to learn that for f's sake you gotta say your piece before it's too late. So, blog, you should know that I love you and people reading this should know that I love them and that I'm incredibly grateful for them. Don't regret for the rest of your life not telling someone you love them and that you appreciate them. I'm wondering if this last dream will be the last one I have of her...

In other news, we did a couple special things for David at the wedding because we really wanted him to be there. The special things were "nice" but we still missed him.

I am happy, bloggy.
