So mistakes were made, the biggest one being thinking I could do this.

BUT my wife and I recently had an honest conversation about things we felt we missed out on doing our wedding the way we did (read: small and cheap) and one thing they said is they wished we had gotten a real wedding cake. And since tomorrow is the anniversary of the night we met, I took the opportunity to try and give them a cake. It’s not very good, but it did make them cry, so, small victories.

My wife and I look at houses a lot because it’s a fun way to look towards the future, but of COURSE today we saw the perfect house and we’re dying because we aren’t ready but it has TONS OF BUILT IN SHELVING and A LITTLE OFFICE WITH A BUILT IN DESK and A PANTRY WITH A GLASS DOOR THAT SAYS “PANTRY” IN ETCHING and is the right size and price and just generally exactly the sort of place we want to end up in
