love in a month

February was a great month for a new-love-awareness! Looking back the blog was a great reminder each week of what's important to focus on in my own relationship. A funnier "love" experience this month was the grand ole' tradition of eating your wedding cake on the 1 year mark. Now I don't know if it's because our wedding cake traveled cross country in a cooler back in October or what, but it wasn't pretty and it certainly wasn't tasty! I was actually totally grossed out by it and haven't wanted cake since, which is very odd, trust me. So I'm curious if any of you had a good experience with this tradition. Right now I'm wondering who the hell made it up and why! (I still wish I had eaten more cake at my reception).

I blogged about my husband and my biological clocks syncing up earlier in the month (do men have one?). We finally arrived on the same page about this subject and it hasn't come up since. I think we are both at peace with our feelings, and excited about trying to start a family... eventually. But first, we decided to plan a pretty major trip to Africa in the fall. If anyone has been please let me know!

I also ordered The Mastery of Love. I haven't read yet, but I'm looking forward to it...

Last night we watched Julie and Julia on netflix. I could have done without the Julie part, but the story of Julia Child was so great! It was such a love story. Her marriage was an inspiration, and made me think fondly about growing old with my husband.

And finally, I will leave you a photo of the scary 1 year old cake (before and after):
