Nov. 17th, 2007


Five years ago today, Scott Heller and I got married.  Five hours after we said our vows, I accidentally slammed his head in a door in our hotel room.

There was a bunch of people in it and I wanted to change out of my dress!  Right when I pushed the heavy, bulky door that separated the sitting area from the bedroom of the bridal suite closed, Mr. Heller turned around to come help me- and then CRACK!!

As he stood there surrounded by the wedding party, grabbing his head in his hands and saying "I'm good, I'm good!" over and over again- I wondered if this was going to be a metaphor for our life together... :)


This photograph is one of my favorites.  It was taken just a little bit after I slammed his head in the door.  That silly look on his face isn't because I gave him a concussion, its because he's a *little* drunk- but he wasn't drunk when we got married, just after.  That doesn't sound good either-  you know what I mean!  


I bought these prints by Arian Armstrong a few years ago.  I used to look at them on Etsy and think about what kind of lovely, heartwarming story the pictures were telling- a couple separated but still connected-I didnt think that when Mr. Heller put them on the wall last year, our lives would start to mimmick the pictures. As we speak, he is on the east coast, helping people in New Jersey make insurance claims on their homes.  


Life is full of change and it is definitely an adventure- and I'm thankful that Mr. Heller wants to have that adventure with me- and no matter how much our life changes, I still have a really big crush on him.
