New ventures

A semester of student teaching.  A wedding to plan.  A four month long-distance relationship with my then-fiancé.  A wedding.  A honeymoon.  A move to Wilmington, NC.

These are the noticeable moments that consumed much of my life for over four months.  Now, I'm left with the memories of them and something larger than all of them.

A marriage. A new family.  A small family consisting of my husband, our dog, our cat, and myself.

Wedding presents to finally get around to unpacking.  Graduate school.  Learning/practicing Spanish.  Working.  Figuring out my new role as a wife.  And of course, new vegetarian recipes.

These are the things I have on my to-do list this year, our newlywed year.

Supper tonight, that Matthew and I prepared together, was Middle Eastern Garbanzo Beans and Macaroni.  A delicious dish from a vegetarian cookbook that I received as a Christmas present.  Our first new recipe as husband and wife gets an A. 

I look forward to many more.
