A Mrs. Now!


When people ask me what it's like to be married now, I'm not sure how to respond. I can respond the typical answer of "good" or "wonderful", but I think I'm still trying to get used to this married thing. It doesn't feel that much different other than having to cook for 2 and make sure I don't hog all the blanket at night (apparently I'm a blanket hog). So give it some time and ask me again later.

But life has been good...not only am I married now, but I'm now an official homeowner! Boy, is the housing market expensive! At least we have assets under our names even if we are super duper broke now =p

With summer being almost over, I need to start cleaning up our place before the typical routine of work (teaching) starts again. Ah, yes, the life of a teacher - 2 months of freedom and 10 months of work (well, technically less than 10 months if you count Christmas break, Spring break and all other holidays).

half a year later....

wow, it's been more than half a year since I last updated my blog. So much has happened since September. For one thing, I'm just 4.5 months away from my wedding! =D

So J&J's wedding have come and gone. It was such a great wedding. I must say their wedding reception/banquet at night beats out any wedding reception I've been to! Here's just a sample of their buffet menu:
- raw shucked oysters, cooked mussels, pan fried huge scallops and prawns, smoked salmon
- prime rib, lamb, short ribs, duck breast
- mashed potatoes, mac & cheese, rice
- sushi and sashimi station served to your order
- pre-plated food --> ahi tuna, lobster tail
- dessert room: gelato station, candy buffet, chocolate fountain fondue, cheesecake, pastries

let's just say, I was uber stuffed....had to let out the corset on my dress a bit in order to breathe! yup, bulging stomach I had by the end of the night. They had 2 crazy ice sculptures - Eiffel Tower and a Grand Piano.

Here are a few pictures:

As for my updates:
- still TOCing and loving it
- I can now start concentrating on my wedding again after having placed it on hold while planning for J&J's wedding.
- the next big thing we need to do is get the invites all sorted out and have them printed.
