A Year of Wedded Bliss

This month, Adoring Husband and I will be celebrating our first year of marriage - and as I type this, he is poking his tongue at me across the room.  I have another nickname for him.  Sheldon.   In honour of the 'Big Bang Theory' character who is a genius with Asperger Syndrome and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

We rarely watch that show on television, so it's not like he developed these traits from regular viewing.  It's quite possible that the character was modelled on Adoring Husband!  This nickname is mostly used as a term of endearment .. and sometimes, a term of frustration hehehe.

So I've decided, considering the limited time available to me today, as I check off my 'packing' and 'to do' lists, to show you some photos taken over the last year.

It occurs to me, as I type this, that I have had such a busy year!  It started in Surfers Paradise for a week with my best friend, to our fabulous wedding here on the river,  to Sydney where we moved Nellie the wonderful mother-in-law into a nursing home (where she is doing very nicely), to Cairns, where I walked The Best Cousin in the World down the aisle on her wedding day, to New Zealand where I witnessed the birth of my little sweetie possum, Chicklet and will end with a week in Maleny and the Sunshine Coast!

I can't believe that we fit so much into a year!  Our first year of wedded bliss :o)  Time flies when you're having fun!
