Hi! I’m Miss Cream Puff!

I’m feeling a lot of pressure to make this first entry super awesome. After all, you only get one chance to make a first impression, right? And of course, I want to make a good one. I could start by telling you any of a number of things. I could tell you about the way Mr. Cream Puff proposed to me, but I kind of feel like saving that story for later. I could tell you why I chose “Cream Puff” over all the other names I could have chosen, but that seems like kind of a boring topic (mostly because it’s a very short story!). Heck, I could even start detailing the numerous DIY projects I’ve started and half-completed. But for some reason, I just feel like rambling a little. So maybe I’ll just tell you about Mr. Cream Puff and I.

Let’s see, where to start. Well, most obviously, Mr. Cream Puff and I are inter-racial. Mr. Cream Puff is Chinese, and I’m Jewish. Our cultures are very important to both of us, so we’ll be incorporating both of them into our wedding. And speaking of incorporating both of our cultures, both of our last names are linked to our cultures and neither of us wanted to give them up– so we’re both going to hyphenate (yes, Mr. Cream Puff is changing his name! I’m totally proud of him).

Hmm, what else? Okay, confession: we are really dorky at heart. Although Mr. Cream Puff would be mortified to know I’m telling you all this, we met on the Internet. I am personally not ashamed of this fact, but I think he wishes we had a better story. In fact, I think he’s secretly hoping we can go the rest of our lives with people thinking we met “through friends” (he’s actually muttering to himself right now, “that’s a good story, ‘through friends,’ I think we should just say that.” What a weirdo! Tons of people meet online.). Let’s see, what else. Oh. We’re head-over-heels for our pets. We have four cats (Peete Tails, Gwynnie, Elvis Purrsley and Dr. Miles) and a dog (Lulabelle). Yup, it’s a nice little menagerie we’ve got here.

I work part-time at Paper Source while I start my own Illustration business (yay for the employee discount while we’re planning our wedding, huh?!). Mr. Cream Puff works as a Merchandise Planner for a big clothing retailer, but is starting his own business as well.

So yeah. I’d say that’s a pretty good introduction to who we are as people. I am very excited to be a bee and to join the hive, and I’m definitely looking forward to sharing my wedding plans with you all! Here’s to getting to know one another!
