In no particular order:

• I'm legally married.
• Going home to finish planning the big church wedding in a couple days.
• Things I've cooked:
• Some pretty tasty ginger-soy stir fry
• REALLY good potato pancakes
• Lots and lots of pasta
• Stuffed zucchini (with oriental eggplant)
• What I'm cooking tonight: Spaghetti casserole
• Loving the Boston Organics deliveries, but don't know what to do with cabbage.
  
• General exams got pushed back by a little bit (thank GOD)
• Went to world's ODDEST wedding this weekend
• Bought my wedding shoes
• Also bought some pretty amazing stripper heels
  
• Had good friends over for a couple hours yesterday
• Very very very happy playing house.
  

It feels like life is finally getting started after a few years of treading water.

• Tonight I've spent a couple hours putting together my lists for General exams - the last step I have to take before my Dissertation. It feels like a monumental thing compared with the puny papers I still have to write. I have my teaching assignment for next year and am daily feeling more confident and in control, professionally, than I ever have.
• Also, last weekend I signed a lease on a lovely little apartment in a lovely little neighborhood.
• Most importantly, though, the ball is really rolling for my lovely young man to finally come to the U.S. and make me an honest woman. We're doing the final bits of paperwork and beginning to plan the big day(s).
  
• I'm slowly getting a plan for financial stability and responsibility together. It's far off and optimistic, but not outside the realm of possibility.
