sabbatical

hello blogging world, it's been a while!

it's not that i haven't thought about you, it's just that, well, i've been on a sabbatical.

a sabbatical, as defined by google, is a period of prolonged hiatus. a lot has happened during these two months of sabbatical, and while i wish i could recount and recall all that happened during this time, i can't. there are a few select incidents that i'll recount in the coming posts, but for now, you'll just have to setlle for two months of silence.

why, you might ask, did i go on a sabbatical? well, several reasons.

first of all, i got married. that in and of itself involves a lot of time-intensive planning and stressing and frankly there just wasn't time to update my blog. lazy perhaps, but for me it was merely a question of priorities.

second of all, i just decided to. you see i quit my job about two weeks before our wedding. it was one of the best decisions i ever made and i used that time to plan for the wedding and prepare for our life together. after we were married, i spent most of my days, moving, setting up our apartment and returning wedding gifts. not the most exciting of endeavors but one of necessity. i knew that i had a finite time before law school started and i wanted to make sure that I/we were sufficiently settled by my first day (TODAY!) i am pleased to report that we are, and while there are a few more odds and ends to pick up this weekend at the pottery barn outlet, our home is now a home!

the two months i spent as (gasp!) a "housewife" were wonderful times, and i look forward, ten years from now, going back to being a housewife. i cooked, cleaned, and cared for M. we were able to spend some great time together, true quality time in every sense fo the word, and ot really cherish these first two months of our marriage. we didn't go out a lot. we didn't see a lot of people, anyone really, we just enjoyed one another and adjusted to being married. i will forever look back on those two months as a special cherised time knowing that i'll never be able to go back to them. they were fleeting but in those two months are some of my most treasured memories of our marriage already. i'll stop here before i get too sappy, but let's just say it was special...

for all of the friends who have called and emailed and who gave gone unanswered and uncalled back, i'm sorry. i truly am. it's not that you aren't importatnt to me, you are. it's just that my husband and my marriage, at least for then, were more important. i hope you can understand. and i encourage all of you to one day do the same. there is just something so special about spending time as just "us."

BUT i am happy to report that i'm now back. law school begins today and with that i voluntarily leave sabbatical land and come back to the land of real life. a new adventure begins and i can't wait to start...
