One Year Wedding Anniversary

It's been one year since Bill and I were married in our back yard in Corvallis, Oregon. Our ceremony was small, with immediate family and local friends in attendance and most for the wedding was done by those same people. It was warm that day for Oregon, in the mid 90s when we are typically in the mid 80s but it was a lovely day still.

We honeymooned later near Cancun and spent the first year of our marriage mostly apart while Bill attended graduate school and completed an MBA.

We spent our anniversary at home, working on home improvements, fixing up the yard and hanging out with the animals. We went to a birthday party at a friend's and Bill spent the evening participating in a fantasy football draft with the south town homies. We had planned to go to the coast to the spot where Bill proposed to me but we were tired from working and I am sick from fertility drugs and had no stomach for clam chowder. Not exactly a romantic weekend but it was real, we were glad to be home and we'll do something special when I feel better.

I am a little melancholy to be this sick from the fertility drugs and we might have to take a break from them for a while. Since Bill is job searching I feel very unsettled and perhaps there is too much pressure on me right now while all of this is going on. I'm not totally decided on it, I tend to cycle through periods of strength and weakness, but I think we might wait until Bill finds a job to continue our family making. No fantasy life here folks. Just a lot of work and hope. And love.
