Happy Anniversary! (by sarah)
Wow - we've been married for three whole years today which seems absolutely amazing!
Alarics still asleep but as he came to bed after midnight I've already wished him Happy Anniversary - time is just flying!
This also means we've had this blog for three years aswell which seems incredible - of course it took me awhile before I realised how to use the blog but I think I'm getting there 🙂
Of course due to health issues and a few finacial ones our life plans have been a bit up and down but we are slowely getting there! We still don't have ducks and bees and I for one do not currently have the energy for them as I'm not coping with doing household stuff anyway - hernia, back problems etc.... but Als still keen and hopefully we will eventually be more financially stable.
Of course in the original plan I should be in the middle of a PhD but haven't even gone back to the MRes yet, what I didn't expect was to suddenly become a web designer and most recently an illistrator (maybe) but these are the jobs I am getting and this is what I am currently doing along with setting myself down the path of writer - I got my first rejection slip this month so things are going good - no seriously it was a nice regection slip for the first thing I ever submitted and it was to a high profile scifi mag.
Living with Al has certianly had me on a steep learning curve what with industrial scale chutney making for him and working out whats edible in the garden and whats not!
I find myself emersed into a world of computers - so much so that I've started writing poetry about it :/ But thats another story - I do however miss my rocks, especially me little slivers of meteorite and I know that Alaric feels guilty that its my career on hold and this tells me that when I do get to go back he's going to support me.
He's lovely he is - I'm still always startled to see that so many marages don;t survive the first two years - we struggeled to realise that much time had passed.
Still this year it is leather themed so I have a scared Alaric on my hands (of course he's getting a nice leather tool roll but he thinks he's getting a loin cloth!).
