Teach/Coach @ private schools in LA Engagement Date: March 31, 2006 Wedding Date: November 3, 2007 Venue: Radisson Hotel About Me: I'm a bookkeeper who failed high school algebra. I'm currently living in Los Angeles, literally a street over from where I grew up with Mr. Kiwi, my honey of three years. We have a jumbo mini-dachshund (seriously, he's huuuuge), and we're planning an autumn themed wedding on a shoestring, paid for by ourselves. The wedding date is my late grandma's birthday, I needed her there somehow, and that seemed like the best way for us. I can't believe I'm a Bee! I couldn't be more proud!
About Mrs. Kiwi

As of Monday…

November 5th, 2008 @ 12:25 pm by Mrs. Kiwi

Breaking News!!

I am no longer a newlywed! Okay, I haven’t called myself a newlywed since after say… the third month of being married, but Monday was our one year anniversary. Mr. Kiwi and I have made it through the so-called “toughest year of your marriage”, and are stronger than ever.

Sure, I don’t wear makeup that much anymore, and he’s lucky if I remember to put underwear on most of the time, much less sexy underwear. Now we write bills, go grocery shopping, and coddle Woofie. We nag our single friends to hurry up and meet someone so we can then nag them to get engaged, and we have begun to start looking alike—much like owners and their pets. Juuuust kidding.

We still go to Disneyland and act like children, taking pictures with the characters and having candy for breakfast. We got our new mattress and now delight in buying sheets at a sale price. Despite how dreary and boring it sounds, I love married life. It’s just not that different from living-in-sin life, ya know? So don’t feel bad if your life hasn’t changed other than a single piece of paper and insurance and tax benefits.

On Monday, Mr. Kiwi surprised me with a dozen long-stem roses, a gift bag of goodies for me/us (Me: Sleeping Beauty Blu-Ray, new earbuds, dinner out at Cheesecake factory; Us: Wii remote charger with batteries), and two cards—one from him, and another with small dog prints on it. That sneaky Woofie.

We cracked out the top tier of our cake, and ate some, despite being stuffed full of cheesecake. The cake was actually great. It was moist, didn’t taste of anything other than buttercream, and although the idea of eating year old cake disgusted me, it was not disappointing at all!

Here are some pics:

Our smooshed top tier. Still, very tasty!

Anyway, that’s probably my last post about wedding crap! I’ve missed you all, and wish you the very best in planning!

Happy Anniversary Honey, I love you!

Also, he wanted me to tell you guys that the presents may sound crappy, but he also has to deal with a birthday two days after the anniversary! I guess we’ll see what he gets me for my birthday tonight! Ahhh, the greed. Actually, I was thrilled with what I got, I can’t wait to watch Sleeping Beauty!!

I always wondered how long you are classified as a ‘newlywed’. I’m glad to hear it’s a year, how fun. Happy anniversary!
