Oh Sunny Day!

2 years ago today, I woke up around 7:30am to the lovely sound of Sarah's cell phone alarm going off. My intention was to TRY to sleep in until 9, but we were sharing a hotel room and Sarah was ignoring the alarm - leaving it up to me to search for her phone and figure out how to turn it off. It was my wedding day, and there was no chance I was falling back to sleep. It turned out that I had forgotten to finish putting together the ceremony programs - so the extra time was actually a good thing (thanks Sassy). July 29th has notoriously been a hot and sunny day in Seattle. It had been like 20 or so years since it rained - which is in part why we chose it. On this day, it was overcast and threatened rain. Luckily it didn't and after a whirlwind of a day, around 6:12pm, I officially became a Thompson.

1 year ago today, I woke up on the floor of our new house. We had just moved in the day before and everything we owned (which at the time was not much) was scattered everywhere. We spent the entire day in sweats, unshowered, painting the walls and ceiling of our new home. We laughed at the difference between how fancied up we were one year before - compared to how dirty and stinky we were on this day. Around 6:12pm, we poured some wine into two plastic cups and toasted to our year as a married couple. Outside, it was overcast and raining.

Today I woke up to my alarm going off at 5:20am. I snoozed until almost 6. I'm at work now- but clearly not working. I look forward to a nice evening at home with my husband of 2 years. We're not going to do much of anything special - but the past 2 years have given us a LOT of something special... so today we'll probably just appreciate it all :) Outside it's gray and raining.

Sorry Seattle, it looks like we jinxed July 29th. But I can't say I regret it!!
