Its about time!!

Today I made a bunch of jewelry!!! Yay!! I made this really awesome bracelet with brass, silver, and Grade AAAAA Cubic Zirconias, a bunch of earrings, and I'm working on a necklace involving a filligree butterfly and a vintage faceted leaded crystal drop! I just sat down and started this morning. I'll put pictures up when I have them.

In other news, I met my new, unsuspecting mother- and sister-in-law on Saturday night! I think I made a good enough impression. We went to Wine Works first while we were waiting to get into American Flatbread which is my FAVORITE restaurant of all time (if any one wants to go and needs someone to go with...310-0209!!!). I got to hear all sorts of funny stories about Kris from his slightly older sister Samantha and I got to watch them bicker and fight like siblings which was actually quite amusing! They spoke to each other a lot in Dutch but made sure to summarize for me in English which was nice. I would really like to learn that language. It seems so complicated and gutteral though. Maybe I'll ask for a Learn to Speak Dutch on CD or something for my birthday/Xmas. They still don't know we are married which is fine. It was kind of weird to have to pretend we weren't though I'll tell you!!

I'm so glad that I married him. He is really the most amazing man I have ever met. I am so in love with him its ridiculous. I still just stare at his beautiful face, daydream about him when he isn't there, and cherish every moment we are together. And its great to have someone who does all that right back to me. Next weekend will be our 4 month mark. I can't believe its only been that long and its already been that long!!

Yay on the jewelry! I might want to buy something from you for Jennie's birthday, I need to get Andy's opinion. I'll let you know. I'm assuming that if I buy it from you, I can get it in person and skip the shipping charge?

And fantastic about the meeting with the unsuspecting in-laws!! Dutch is a weird sounding language to my little Nordic ears... but I bet you could do it!

Love you!
