Oh, For Me?

Yesterday, my Pay it Forward gift from stereotypical single woman arrived in the mail! It was such a nice surprise. Here is a photo of what I got:

Pay it Forward gifts

From left to right: Ritter Sport chocolates, customized Binary Blonde mug, Ghiradelli hot chocolate mix and a pack of mini mice for Celeste, Kanji & Noni (which are from her cats Harvey, Marty & Foster).

Okay, so I totally love these gifts. The customized Binary Blonde mug rocks. It’s quickly becoming my favorite mug. It’s the perfect size and customized! How could I not love it? 😉 Also, the sweets are exactly what I would have chosen for myself.

Kanji Playing with Mini MousePlus, the mini mice for the cats – how completely adorable and thoughtful. Kanji, especially, enjoyed them, as you can see from the photo.

Thank you stereotypical single woman! 😀

Four Years Ago Today…

Kevin and I were married at The Castaway in Burbank, California. Ironically enough, both the sky and sun was a deep, bright orange as there were widespread fires up in the hills of the valley. Our ceremony was held outside on the balcony and the wind just before sunset was blustery and strong. Finally, though, just as the ceremony started, the winds calmed down and it was peaceful. I was very grateful for that, especially considering the length of my train (15 feet!).

Our trip to Thailand is how we are celebrating, so we don’t really have any special plans made. Though, we did exchange gifts. I read that, traditionally, for the 4th wedding anniversary, one would give the gift of fruit or flowers. Not too bad, considering I love both! Nowadays, however, the typical modern gift is either an appliance or linens and silks. Kevin took the “appliance” part to heart and I received an 8 gig iPod Nano!

iPod Nano

It looks bigger than it really is, because everything looks bigger in my tiny hands. It’s incredibly thin and insanely easy to use. I’ve already uploaded over half of my music library and… oh… about 20+ podcasts. That ought to last me the 12 days of our trip to Thailand, right? 😮
