Happy Anniversary and stuff

Joni didn't quite make it to the camera in time for the picture...we liked this one

Been a busy week, sorry about the sideways picture. Joni and I celebrated three years together yesterday, I guess its more like four and a half years together, 3 years being married. We have made a tradition of going somewhere for our anniversary, so we went to a really cool bed and breakfast in Arlington and stayed in a little cottage...actually it was twice the size of our apartment so it was pretty nice. For some reason whenever we go places like this we end up being the only ones there, its really wierd but kind of nice. We still joke about this place we went to about an hour north of Logan that has natural hot springs. The place we stayed in was really nice, but it was creepy because it had big long hallways that reminded us of "The Shining", and you had to go down the hallway to use the restroom at full speed so the bad guys wouldn't get you. I remember as a kid in the Niwot house, I would walk slowly down the basement hallway after getting something from the pantry, peering into each room hoping not to see anyone...then I would superspeed once I got to the stairs...I never understood how Glen and Steve could stay down there. It was that same kind of feeling at the hot springs place, but the place last night was really nice and relaxing. Our honeymoon was very deserted too. We stayed in a hotel with 30 rooms, and most of them were not checked out, I think we just seem to find those places a lot...wierd.

I think you know when a good memory is taking place, because you wish you could share it with others when you are alone, or you wish the moment could last forever when you are with people you care about. We have had a lot of those moments lately. I wish you could all share some of the experiences we have had down here with us. I feel like we could live anywhere after this.

Joni's graduation was awesome, very funny, and very sad. I felt like I wanted to go up and hug people that I never met, because Joni knew them so well and I heard so many stories, but since I never met them I didn't want to scare them away. We had a truckload of estrogen in our house this last week...I've always wanted to say that. Along with Joni's intern friends, her mom, aunt, and sister I was feeling like I needed to watch ESPN and drink a beer, but since I don't drink beer or have ESPN I had the opportunity to observe a lot...which is fun too. We saw the place where Kennedy was shot, for the fourth time, but I still love it. This time the guy who was a writer for the movie "JFK" was there signing autographs and talking about conspiracies, which was really cool.

We found these really creepy looking teddy bears while sight seeing, it made me wonder who would spend the money to construct teddy bears made out of solid granite. They had to cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Whenever I say "hundreds" or "thousands" I feel like Jack Bauer. "Thousands of people will die if you don't tell me where the chip is!"

We aren't moving now until July 1st...long story, and I only get more upset thinking about the reasons why, but I think everything will work out okay. Joni's new boss was very understanding, as was mine, and our landlords, and we get our first month's rent free because of the whole mess, and a couple of jobs MIGHT have just opened up in College Station for Joni...but we don't want to even think about anything new until it happens. So we'll keep you updated, but its just really funny how good fortune can change to bad, and then back to good again. I am taking Joni to the airport today so she can see all of her family before beginning her new job. I will be a bachelor for a week...kind of.
