Our First Christmas

Merry Christmas... and I say this fully knowing that it is no longer politically correct, that I should be saying "Happy Holidays" instead, and that plently of people will complain or at least cringe a little bit on the inside everytime I smile and make such a blasphemous remark. I mean, how dare I say such a thing!

Well you know what, it's my first Christmas being married, and I happen to believe in the Christ part of Christmas so that's what I'm going to say. At work, in the mall, on Rt. 93 when someone cuts me off... this is my stand. Ha! And all you "politically-correcters" can just EAT IT!

Now that I'm done with my rant and rave, I have to say that for our first official Christmas as a married couple it is quite uneventful. After a failed attempt to organize our schedules to be able to visit my NJ family we have shrunk our dreams for this holiday season way, way, way down to size as we are both working the overnight Christmas Eve into Christmas, then scrambling the day-of to get to his father's and then his mother's for a few hours before I return to work, yet again, that very next day.

Gone are the good 'ole days of high school, and even early college, where we actually got to have a christmas break. Bah Humbug - the working world says.

Well I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year (which, as if this were a shocker, I am also working).

Confessional

...

Yes, we are new to having an online blog. Well as a team that is... I, however, have been a blogging fiend for years. Anonymously, of course. And I predict that I will likely be the only person to update this blog. But I digress back to the point of our first post.

I think that the best way to begin is with a confessional. How we met. We met....

...online...

So yes, I can thank Yahoo Personals free trial of Fall 2003 for introducing me to my now husband of a little over three months. This is a story that for years I have been trying to cover up with saying "it was a blind date," "well we met when I went to school," and so on and so forth. But alas, every inqury leads to more questions, which eventually lead to the truth so I have decided that the truth should just be done and over with without further ado.

Now about us... we were married this past summer on Thursday the 6th of August, 2009. I'm a Cancer, he's a Scorpio and we like long walks on the beach during sunset.
