I have been putting off participating in Project Marriage for the past few months, and it’s about time I actually play along with Tina’s great new monthly meme. September’s theme is Then and Now: photos of you and your honey throughout the years of your relationship. October will mark 6 years since Ben and I [...]
Our Second Year - What I've Learned
Today is Ben and my second wedding anniversary. There’s no big vacation planned, just a night out to a nice dinner, which considering the pace of the last few weeks, is a welcomed thing. Especially when I’ve been hoarding $60 in gift cards for a local restaurant for months so we can really enjoy ourselves! [...]
I'm Baaaacccck!
This was an interesting vacation, to say the least. We experienced a lot of ups and downs, like coming home to a puke-filled house because my 18-year-old cousin who was house-sitting for us drank and did God knows what while we were gone.

Just the other night, I was complaining about Ben wanting to go to Gettysburg for our anniversary, and clearly how un-romantic said trip would be . . . even if he had been looking up things he knew I’d love to do . . . like a candlelight ghost tour and a private wine tasting. [...]
Length of a "Newlywed"
On the 15th of every month, I remind Ben that it’s our anniversary. Today is 7 months for us. Though I’m crazy enough to want to celebrate the 1st, 3rd, and 6th month marks, I assure you that I’m not making a big deal out of it on a monthly basis. The other night, while [...]
Happy 6 months!
As Ben and I hit one of our first “big” anniversaries - 6 months - I came across an article on Women’s Day Magazine’s website, The Secrets to Staying Married.
