Back from the woods! We left at 8:30 pm Saturday night and we got there at 1:00 in the morning. Yikes, right? We woke to a horrendous downpour.  Seeing as how it was Chris and I’s sixth wedding anniversary, he drove me in town to the the yarn store.  Half hour drive, then SEVEN FLIGHTS OF STAIRS, and guess what?  Yeah, it was closed!  We drove back to the cabin and waited out the rain.  We were only there for two days, came home today.  It was nice.  I didn’t do a whole lot of knitting.  I finished the cuff for some Pomotamos Gloves, and that was all I did.  Not even good enough for a picture.  I do have the rest of the week off, so hopefully I’ll finish one.  Ha!

I wish we could’ve stayed all week. We spent the nights sitting on the end of the dock, gazing at the stars. It was incredible. That’s how I want to spend every night, sitting with Chris, watching the sky. But, as always, it’s back to reality. We drove home, unpacked, relaxed for about 20 minutes, and then Chris had to go to work. Major downer. Ah well, such is life. It was fun while it lasted.

No picture, but I took myself to Amazing Threads today and bought myself an anniversary gift. I got two skeins of Shi Bui sock yarn in the Spectrum colorway. I will not be making socks with them. Maybe some really awesome fingerless mitts. Not sure. It’s so gorgeous, vibrant and saturated and so friggin squooshy!

I is spinnin some Sick Puppies, Dead Weater, and The Veronicas. And, in honor of our anniversary, “I’m About To Come Alive” by Train. This is our song. It isn’t a sappy, cheesy love song. It’s bittersweet and perfect. It’s been our song for a very long time. Our marriage works because we’re honest with each other, even when it hurts. Even when we don’t want to hear the truth. We support each other, do our best to help the other reach goals and realize dreams. Our marriage works because we put the time and the effort into making it work. I love Chris, happy anniversary!
