On our sixth day of the cruise we found ourselves celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary in Istanbul, Turkey! Istanbul was hands down one of our favorite places that we visited during our cruise. This was one of the cities that I was able to plan for us to walk off the ship and visit without an excursion, so it was …

In an effort to gain self confidence and deal with body image issues still remaining after my weight loss, I decided to take part in a 365 project focusing on self portraits. My hopes are that after a year of taking a photo of myself ever day, that I will stop hating photos of myself, stop picking apart the things …

Don’t worry, I’m still talking about me! He hasn’t gone out and found another wife or anything, even tough I’ve been urging him to find one that likes doing housework. I could get into a little Sister Wives action if the other wife would do all the stuff I hate. No, what I’m talking about is my husband’s recent exclamations …

On May 12th my husband and I celebrated our 12 year wedding anniversary. It’s still hard to believe we’ve been together so long as I don’t think either of us feel old enough to have been married for 12 years. Wasn’t it just a few years ago that we WERE 12? A few days before we were clearing out our …

So here’s the thing, I couldn’t give a crap about gay marriage. The same goes for polygamy, swingers, open marriages and any other unconventional adult relationship.

I was looking over my tree tonight, dreading the thought of taking all my Christmas decorations down and putting them away, when I noticed this ornament. My husband and I bought it the first year we were married, in 2000, which was our 2nd year together and first year as husband and wife. I still feel way too young to …

Today my husband and I are celebrating our 10 year anniversary. Like any couple we’ve had our issues… my problems settling in the Netherlands, his Lego addiction, my late night mosquito rages… but one thing that has never changed is our love for each other. Well, MY love for HIM I should say. I’m not so sure about his love …

On February 14, 2010 (Valentine’s Day) the Lock of Love art piece was placed in Rotterdam’s popular district of Delfshaven. The Lock of Love ritual has been taking place all over the world, and is now here in Rotterdam as well. Not just a rail on a bridge or a chain around a lamppost, this work of art has love …

Money is tight in our household this year, after a big bad surprise from the belastingdienst (tax office) that I never got into here on my blog. I don’t plan to, but basically they screwed up and now we owe them over 2000 euro. So we agreed that Valentine’s Day wasn’t going to be an expensive event this year. Not …

On Wednesday night Xander and I were going out to see Star Trek – OMG What an awesome movie!!! – and I was getting cranky because he was rushing me. Also because I was sleep deprived… AND PMSing. Seriously, he should have known better. Anyhow, as I ran around getting dressed and brushing my teeth, I was mumbling and bitching …

This photo of me and my husband was taken almost 9 years ago in Paris. We felt so grown up but look at us, we were babies! I’d just turned 25 the week before and I was a wife! We were so cute though, still in that stage where we called each other Mr. and Mrs. and giggled every time …
