This summer flew by and already it's back to school - in some way I feel like we never even left save the new teacher's and taller students. I like working in a school especially in the fall, when the air is crisp and there is a feeling of euphoria in the air.
Steve and I celebrated our year anniversary this summer - it came as quickly as it was anticipated. We seemed to plan forever our wedding, yet as soon as Steve broke the glass and we all shouted "mazel tov!" time has literally just flown by.
We toasted each other and our first year of marriage in the same place it happened, the top of Rockefeller Center. We nibbled on a piece of the cake that was saved, and yes, it was still as delicious now as it was that night. Later that week we boarded a plane for Exuma, a small island in the Bahamas and spent a week delighting in the blueness of this water:
Other weekends this summer were spent at my parents, where we ate leisure dinners outside as my dad BBQ'ed and my mom made enough sangria for the entire block. Other nights we met our friends out for dinner, trying this place and that place and this one too. When enough of us came together, we put up a volleyball net and played variations of 7th grade "nucumb" at a friend's rental in Remsenburg. By far the "Cool Girl Award of Summer '06" goes to Alyssa, who at 7 months pregnant and soon to be a doctor, still drinks her wine when her tuna sashimi arrives. When we really mustered up energy and braved the annoying NYC crowds posing as regular Hamptonites, we ran into an old high school friend from Miami who ended up spending the night when her girlfriend split for Montauk past 2AM. All in all, a very fun summer indeed.
So, now that we are past the year mark, are we still newlyweds?
