What I want now...

One of the best part of Zurich was the breathtakingly fashionable people on vintage bikes. I want to be them. I would like my vintage bike to have a headlight (you never know when that might come in handy) and come fully equipped with a charming shopping basket in the rear. I will then attend every Saturday morning farmers market on my bike and I can assure you that the dogs will get more exercise as well. Katie loves trotting next to me on my bike...or she will at least. Duke...well, we'll see about him...large pieces of equipment seem to make him nervous at times...

Just in case Cakes (yet again, another one of my nicknames for my new husband-I'll explain later) decides to peruse this post at his leisure, I have included a couple pictures of potential bikes that I would love to have (their on Craigslist...hint hint=)

When I get a chance tomorrow, I will collect all the beautiful pictures I have where vintage bikes are the subject...I know you'll enjoy them.

Happy Thursday!

We've come a long way in 54 years...

Being and new wife and all, I figured that I would do a little research on how to excel in my new role...this is what I came across today, circa 1955. ENJOY

It's definitely official...

It was Tuesday afternoon when Huzzy (one of many soon-to-be-famous nicknames for my new husband) and I picked up the mail and quickly discovered that indeed it was official, we were husband and wife. We did sign the certificate and our lady Mrs. Medina (officiant) did too. She must have sent it off to wedding license gods in California like she said she would because there it was in front of us on that Tuesday afternoon... As official as it gets... It's true, we're married. It was a welcome reminder of the last three weeks of bliss... Which at this point feels more like a blur than anything. All that meticulous planning and preparation, excitement and anticipation and it was over in a flash. I know all brides say that and I hate that I am now one of those but it's the truth. Now I'm on to bigger and better things...like figuring out what I want to do with my life and what my next blog entries will entail...probably some more wedding details... To be continued....

oh and fyi...I am really not a derelict and I do know how to spell Husband, but apparently the iphone doesn't so if you read this post before I could get to it to edit I have now fixed it for your convenience (and for my respect...)

Until next time,

love britt
