Can you believe it’s been a year?
I love you so much, and I don’t say it as often as I should. I try, instead, to show you how I love you through my actions, through those small grasps on your thumb that you get amused by, or the gentle squeezes once in a while, doing household chores, or through chili and turkey and other food experiments that seem to be successful. You eat them, anyway... so if they are truly awful, I'm glad you're not brusing my cooking trial too much. :)
You make me feel like the luckiest woman on Earth, Erich. Knowing that at the end of difficult days I’ll be returning to a home that’s loving and secure and, messes aside, a completely healthy relationship is something I know not all women (or men) get to experience. I know I’m far from perfect as a human being, yet you’re always telling me that within our little family circle, I am. (I still don’t believe you, of course… but I think that’s mostly to prevent myself from getting an overinflated ego).
And actually, I think I am the luckiest woman on Earth. I have you.
You remind me to laugh at myself, you encourage me to always improve myself, and you watch amusingly as I go through fandom addictions just like I am amused at yours. We’re so frighteningly alike in so many ways, yet different enough that we can challenge and complement each other. I hope that I am as good a wife to you as you are a husband to me.
While growing up, I was convinced that I’d never find someone because I was just so geeky and atypical. I never was into the girly stuff at all – no Barbies, hated makeup, could care less about fashion or hairstyles, despised all of the fangirl b.s. (for the most part, anyway). I preferred sci-fi, computers, dirt bikes, losing myself in books and scraping my knees as I went exploring the sandstone cliffs near the house. And even now, as you know, I’m not all that keen on being girly most of the time. To find a guy that not only tolerates that but loves so many of the things that I enjoy – I am truly blessed.
Happy first anniversary, hon. I love you and am thankful every day that we’re together.

Final UK Itinerary done...
*gasp* I know - I'm alive! Actually, just been very, very busy this summer. But yes, we're both okay - and actually, we're much better than we've been for a while. :)
I'll write a catch-up post later - but just had to do some bouncing up and down. Our trip to the UK is now only about a month away, and we've finally finished our itinerary. :)
Erich and I sat down yesterday, figured out hotels and where we're going, for how long, etc. We've had to sacrifice one leg of the trip (to Edinburgh), but it was the right one to make. We're thinking we'll plan another trip in the next couple years to do a full Celtic trip - Scotland and Ireland, and give both countries the attention they really deserve (and that we want to give them - rather than a stupid and honestly worthless overnight to Edinburgh that was the only possibility this round).
So... here's the plan. If our paths meet and you want to get together, fantastic! Just drop me a line here or via email (measiwitch@gmail.com) and we can plan something, even if it's just a pause for a cuppa somewhere. :)
Oct. 13th - arriving late into London. Staying overnight in the city.
Oct. 14th - train to Stratford in a.m., wander around town Hamlet @ 7:15
Oct. 15th - touring Stratford/Warwick Castle. Love's Labour's Lost @ 7:15
Oct. 16th - train to Cardiff, wandering city a bit once we get there.
Oct. 17th & 18th - Cardiff and day trip to Bath
Oct. 19th - train to London
Oct. 20th to 23rd - Touring London with a day trip up to York somewhere in there
Oct. 24th - home to Boston
If you've been to these places and would recommend we avoid something, please let me know. I've already heard some negative reviews on Shakespeare's birthplace as being not quite worth the admission, for example.
We have definite plans for Warwick Castle, Cardiff Castle, all sorts of random Doctor Who/Torchwood related stuff, and history geeking in both Bath and York.
