Coming back to life..
Life has come a long long way since my last post. The single biggest event being getting married: "YAY" :-D
That being said, nothing could have prepared me for the rollercoaster that marriage has been. The realisation that being with someone for almost a decade will still not really prepare one for marriage came as a massive eye opener. The fact that my husband can still amaze me with sides of him that I haven't seen in all my years of knowing him is refreshing. That we still have new things to fight about...not so much. And then there's making up..which is oh so amazing post marriage...something everyday about it that calms me down every single time. None of the rushed passion of making up when we were seeing each other...more a smile across the room after not having spoken to each other for hours...or the shared joy of finding a tripod that we couldn't for the life of us remember where it might be....its a life that I am grateful to have found with my own personal 24 hour entertainment channel...DH (Dear Husband).
The other big addition in my life had been........"Spaaaaaarkyyyy". Ladies and Gentlemen, I present our own personal clown, our very slobbery wake up alarm, and our biggest stress buster...miss boxer clown personified Sparky :-). Sparky has turned me from a dogophobic human..into one of those irritating people who cannot stop talking about their dogs and pamper them silly. What's more...I have been enjoying every minute of it..so much so, that we're seriously considering a second dog. Just imagining how much more I can annoy people with double the number of stories is enough to propel me towards obsessively looking up breeders in our city. I only wish we had more space for the second one though...
And finally, the return to cooking has been amazing. For a person who wasn't a great big effort cooking types, I've found cooking to be a greatly calming experience and have been whipping up one dish after another almost every weekend. If you're lucky (??) enough, I will up and post recipes and pictures soon.
Am hoping this return to writing is not temporary...but ofcourse..only time will tell :-) Until then...toodles !!
